Cotterill to start with a bang - FREE £20 bet

All change at County again - new manager Steve Cotterill takes the reins for the next chapter in what has been a rollercoaster of a season. The murky background to the club’s finances and behind the scenes management must be put to one side as the team focus on the one goal – promotion. It’s tight in the race for the Play-Off places and County lie 7th with a big chasing pack – Morecambe in 13th placeare only 2 points behind – so a win is a must. A decent first match in charge for Cotterill, at home to Hereford, and he will fancy the side’s chances – County have only lost once at home all season and Hereford have just one victory on the road so odds of 2/1 on for a County win look right. A home banker – get on it. Match betting Notts County win           1/2Draw                             14/5Hereford win                 11/2 Paddy Power give you a FREE £20 bet when you place your first bet of a tenner.

A thumping 3-0 win to get Cotterill’s reign under way can be backed at 10/1 or if Hughes & co are really up for it, then a repeat of the biggest win of the season against Bradford (5-0) is on offer at a massive 55/1. More cautious fans might see a more tense affair, even against a side in the lower reaches of the League – a nervy 1-0 win is 11/2 but would still be worth a valuable three points Correct score County 1-0                    11/2County 2-0                    6/1County 2-1                    13/2County 3-0                    10/1County 3-1                    11/1County 4-0                    20/1County 5-0                    55/1Draw 0-0                       17/2Draw 1-1                       6/1 Additionally, with Hereford having such a poor away record, you can back County to win without conceding a goal – Hereford have only scored 13 times in 15 matches so a win to nil at 6/4 also looks good value. Plus, good money should be on County scoring early to settle the nerves and opening up a comfortable victory – check out the odds on time of 1st goal: Time of 1st goal 1-10 mins                      7/211-20 mins                    4/121-30 mins                    5/131-40 mins                    13/241 mins - Half Time        11/146-55 mins                    15/256-65 mins                    12/166-75 mins                    14/176-85 mins                    19/186 mins – Full Time        30/1No goal                        17/2 Back the County to win in style – a FREE £20 bet awaits with Paddy Power.
