County get silly and other stuff

Ok, Sven was one thing, and we wondered about just good his knowledge of Macclesfield's back four might be (it's better as apparently he was seen at Moss Rose, albeit not till after kick off). Kaspar Schmeichel was another - a talented young goalkeeper who might have some re-sale value if things don't go according to plan, but when Sol Campbell (left) signs for Notts County I feel as if I have to reincarnate Graham Chapman, get him back in a military uniform and go "This is Getting Very Silly" in pure Python fashion.

IF this influx of spending at Notts County is going to be sustainable or last anything longer than some rather nice catherine wheel, then surely its about spending money on young players who can get better, not giving those on the way down five year contracts. Campbell adds massive ability, but any wages he are on may well disrupt harmony.

I fear that this that rather amiable club are going to spend a while picking up the pieces, if not in a Gretna like fashion, then with some pain in a few years time. With my punter's hat on, County simply aren't going to offer any value this season, possibly other than in the over/under goals per game when they whack a few past some of the lesser teams where the gap in resources is painfully evident.

Having seen Brighton and Milwall so far this season, I feel that it might be worth getting stuck into Millwall for their game at The Den on Friday. Brighton have ability and should not finish where they currently are but they have a defence in particular, that is really stretched through injuries and suspension. Bet 365 are the best price I can find for Millwall at the time of writing, at 4/5
