Fleets 16/1 For Top Scorer

Stuart Fleetwood has been installed as a 16/1 shot to be League Two's top scorer this season.

He is the only current Bull to be named in the list published by Skybet, but a number of ex-Bulls are also quoted. Steve Guinan and Tim Sills are both rated as 40/1 shots, while Brian Smikle is 66/1.

Another ex-Bull is also on the list, but is currently without a club. Leon Constantine is rated at 33/1 despite having no definite place in League Two next season. He is one of a number of free agent strikers to be listed, with 14/1 shot Adebayo Akinfenwa rumoured to be wanted by Southend.

Adam Le Fondre is top of the list on 8/1, with Phil Jevons and the want-away Simeon Jackson at 10/1. James Constable joins Akinfenwa at 14/1 with Fleetwood one of four players on 16/1. Ex-Bull Theo Robinson is 25/1 to be top scorer in League One with free agent Joe Anyinsah a 66/1 shot.

On the seasonal betting, William Hill appear to have suspended betting on the Bulls. Their 50/1 offer was removed late on Sunday night and they have not offered a new price, leaving 40/1 as the best on offer. Southend's dramatic drop down the listings seems to have been halted despite their court date today. Only one bookie is now offering 33/1 on the Shrimpers, with one cutting their offer down to 20/1.
