Summary of Bets:
Two wins - Accrington Stanley 0-2 Scunthorpe United (7/5)
Derby County 2-3 Shrewsbury Town (5/1)
Two losses - Hull City (-1) 0-2 Macclesfield Town
Stevenage 2-2 Peterborough United
Overall, a very pleasing night! Scunthorpe did the job in the second half at Accrington, but the stars were certainly Shrewsbury who delivered at 5/1. Even those of us who fancied them to do well would have been shocked by their early 3-0 lead, and despite something of a Derby fightback, Shrewsbury held on for the 3-2 win.
Peterborough threw away two leads at Stevenage to cost a success there, but my one blunder was Hull City. I clearly under-estimated the affect of losing key players to international duty and over-estimated their desire to make up for their opening night home defeat against Blackpool.
Elsewhere, I was secretly pleased to see Barnsley, Nottingham Forest and Portsmouth fail to deliver at short-odds and vindicate my avoidance policy, while Bury delivered a 3-1 win against Coventry in a game where some may have been tempted in by a respectable price on the home win.
