We are slipping down the betting odds table, do you think somebody had told the bookies something, good thing in a way, I suppose... I was beginning to feel so positive as well... http://www.paddypower.com/football/uk-football/npower-league-1
Odds have hardly changed I think it reflects the fact that as yet we have no Keeper and thus far no new CB although I'm going more off the idea of Flint I'd rather we went for someone on loan for 12 months and if Flint really wants to come to the Gate sign him next year for free if he just wants out of Swindon then do we really want him?
Usually if you get relegated and lose a large chunk of your squad the bookies tend to have you one of the favourites for the drop. Perhaps they expect S O'D to make a real difference this season. Providing he can get the players he wants without being held to ransom by the selling clubs, Personally I'd rather he picked up players who had been released even if it took another year to go up as then we would have players who wanted to play for us for certain.
Until the first kick of the ball who knows who is going to do well. Our issue is we are waiting on players to leave before we use that money to bring in new players but clubs wont buy our players until their players have gone. Last season City bought players like Anderson on the basis that Albert was going and when he didnt Anderson ended up sat on the bench probably wondering why he was bought. I cant see city doing that again so can only see us bringing in a couple of keepers and a new defender before we wait to see who stays or goes. Once the season starts we will see. I bet the odds of wolves going up will drop if they do announce the wolly with the brolly as their new manager
This is what, I tried saying when everyone was shouting for Anderson to start saying what's the point of buying him. He was brought in for a replacement to Albert. Him and Albert were just not defensive enough to play together. Bookies at the moment are playing safe, all they know at the moment is Lansdown has money to buy players if required to make us a force. If they offered long odds and we got some decent players they lose money. If we don't go up now they don't make a great deal but also don't lose to much if we do go up.
