Football

European rugby tonight, but I don't like the first round of cross-border competitions as there are too many unknowns. So I'm just sticking to tonight's league two clash. The cricket is developing nicely with India doing well to dismiss the Aussies for 430 after their start, and Sehwag looking in the mood.

7.45 Chris Dagnall 1st goal v Rochdale (NON-RUNNER +7.64 - our man came off the bench after the first goal was scored)
Chris Dagnall was first loaned to Rochdal from Tranmere in 2006 and that summer made his move permanent. In the next two seasons, from 35 starts and 16 appearances from the bench he scored 24 goals, very nearly a goal every other game. This term however he has found the net only once in 9 appearances, and Rochdale have scored only 11 goals. However, including the Johnston's Paints Trophy win over Carlisle the other night, they have scored 9 in their last 5 games, and Dagnall found the onion bag for the first time in that win over Carlisle. So the confidence should be back to some extent, and Lincoln's defence is not overly generous, but it has only kept two clean sheets in the league this season, and just one home win on their record. BlueSq and 888 only offer 1/3 odds for the first four scorers but their prices of 15/2 are too generous to miss compared to Ladbrokes 6/1.
