Football League bets to follow this weekend, plus our tipping contest

One for two last weekend , so a minimal profit was made. Sights are set a little bit higher this weekend, mind. Scunthorpe to beat Swansea @ 6-1 When are the Iron going to get some love? Swansea are 13th in the table; Scunthorpe are 10th. Nigel Adkins took the chance to walk out and take the reins of 22nd-placed Southampton. Of the division below (it must be said that Adkins did a remarkable job at Glanford Park, but that doesn't detract from the fact he's made the wrong move). Scunthorpe won 4-0 away at Sheffield United. And still they're 6-1? I appreciate that, on paper, they are underdogs against an improving Swansea side and, in Ian Baraclough, only have a caretaker manager. But come on: 6-1? If you don't want to be so adventurous, they are a shade above even-money on the Asian handicap (+0.5 &+1.0), or keep your stakes shorter. Barnsley to beat Derby @ 6-5 When are the Tykes going to get some love? The midweek shellacking of Leeds propelled them to seventh in the table and maintained their 100% home league record. As was highlighted against their rivals from up the road, there are plenty of goals at this level in Mark Robins's side, especially now they have added Garry O'Connor to a squad already boasting Andy Gray and Adam Hammill. Derby, meanwhile, are winless since opening day, with only a tossed-away draw against QPR to show for their efforts. NB: all prices with Betfair and correct at the time of publication Tipping contest No maximum hauls last week, but titfers tipped to Thewalthamstowone and ranban , who came close with five correct calls out of six. The top of the table so far (I'll post the full table in the comments section below) ...
