GSI selection - Bet #5-9

Here are the live game selections for today and also some for today's 3pm kick-offs:-

Southampton v Millwall [12.45pm] SKY
West Brom v Newcastle [17.30pm] BBC

[8.8.09]
0.5 point @ 3.75 - Paddy Power - Gary Alexander to score anytime

1 point @ 3.2 - Coral - Simon Cox to score anytime

Firstly is Southampton v Millwall and the Saints look a team in turmoil as new manager Alan Pardew tries to get new players into shape. He has already said he thinks the season has come too quick, so a small punt on Millwall striker Alexander seems a decent option.

The first football league game on the BBC is a clash of the Premiership old boys and like Southampton, Newcastle don't look backable in any form.
I'm gone for new boy Simon Cox to make the step up from Division 1 to Championship for West Brom and breach what should still be a dodgy Toon defence.
There could be goals in this game and Ryan Taylor (available @ 9's) is the only Newcastle option for me because of his set pieces.

[8.8.09] @ 15.00

Championship

1 point @ 3.75 - Paddy Power - Aaron McLean to score anytime for Peterboro @ Derby
1point @ 3.5 - Paddy Power - Nicky Maynard to score anytime for Bristol City @ Preston
1point @ 3.3 - Paddy Power - Freddie Sears to score anytime for Crystal Palace v Plymouth

3 strikers I fancy to do well this season in this section and we'll start with Peterborough's Aaron McLean.
He's been banging in the goals in the last few seasons and shouldn't find the step up to dramactic. Derby don't looked likely contenders to go up this year, and Darren Ferguson's side should be full of goals as usual.

Maynard made the move from Crewe last year and after a years experience should be able to make his mark a few more times this season in a improved City squad. Preston are in decline and hopefully Nicky can take advantage.

Finally my tip for top scorer this season is West Ham's Freddie Sears after coming in on loan for a year to Crystal Palace. He should play and score against a Plymouth side which will struggle this year. I also considered the 1st goalscorer price of 7.5 @ Paddy Power and SkyBet with e/w odds of 1/4 for 5 places but will stick with anytimes prices for now.

Fingers crossed and good luck.
Will take a look at Sunday's games later.
