Kyle Wootton has shortened to a best price of 9/2 with Paddy Power, in from 10/1, in the race for Kyle Wootton to be the English League One top goalscorer.
Kyle Wootton to be the English League One top goalscorer is now a best price of 9/2 with Paddy Power, and on the evidence of his latest outing it is not hard to see why punters are backing it.
Kyle Wootton is priced at 9/2 with Paddy Power, William Hill, Bet365 and Betfred all matching that quote.
Wootton is the favourite in this market, with Joe Taylor his nearest challenger at 11/2 with William Hill.
His brace against Barnsley took his league tally to seven for the season.
He was named in the WhoScored EFL Team of the Week after that display.
Stockport County came from behind to beat Barnsley 3-1, and Wootton was the man who turned the game. Both of his second-half goals were headers, from crosses by Ollie Norwood and Jason Adigun, and that is exactly the kind of penalty-box finishing that wins scoring races at this level. The second goal also made him Stockport's all-time top scorer of the 21st century, so this is not a striker enjoying a lucky week in front of goal. He has been doing the business for this club for a long time.
The result lifted Stockport into third on the League One log, and that matters as much as the goals for the market. A striker in a side pushing at the top end gets service week in, week out, and Wootton's aerial threat gives County a direct route to goal when matches get messy. Put good form, good delivery and a winning side together and you get a man sitting at the head of the betting at 9/2 with Paddy Power to be the English League One top goalscorer. Our take is that the market has got this one right.

Is Kyle Wootton favourite to be the English League One top goalscorer?
Yes. Kyle Wootton is the favourite at a best price of 9/2 with Paddy Power, but the gap behind him is not big. Joe Taylor is next at 11/2 with William Hill, with Aribim Pepple sitting just behind him. Our view is that Wootton's form and Stockport's place near the top of the table make him the right favourite, but this is no one-horse race.
Kyle Wootton – 9/2 with Paddy Power. A headed brace against Barnsley and a side in the top three make him the man to beat.
Joe Taylor – 11/2 with William Hill. The Huddersfield Town forward arrived on the back of an 11-goal loan spell at Wigan Athletic.
Aribim Pepple – 10/1 with Bet365. The Plymouth Argyle forward completes the leading group in the betting.
Jack Marriott – 10/1 with Bet365. Level with Pepple on price, he rounds out the group chasing Wootton down.
Latest bookmaker offer
How strong are the odds on Kyle Wootton to be the English League One top goalscorer?
Stockport host Bromley at Edgeley Park on 17 October, and another home outing gives Wootton a good opportunity to keep adding to his tally. At 9/2 with Paddy Power the case still stands: he is in form, he plays in a side near the top of the log, and he is scoring with his head from quality delivery. Looking across the wider market, Taylor is the name to watch if Wootton cools off. Our prediction is that the Stockport striker stays at the head of this market, and we are happy to side with him at the current price.
