Latest from Betfair: Udders 6.2 Preston 7.8 Weds 8.7 Utd 10 Addicks 12.5 McDonalds 15.5 Given the apparent new found confidence - and like most I am encouraged by things so far - do you think we are worth a punt? - or anyone else take your fancy. 9 months is a long time to wait to collect (well according to Mrs Hound anyway) even though it seems I've been waiting 25 years. Personally I am waiting for Spin to put out their total points projection and then buy buy buy.
If i was a betting man I would back Wednesday, Mandric has a great record! Sheff U will be like us in our first season, will be there or there abouts. Lot of pressure on Lee Clarke to go one better and CP has a brand new team to play with. I think we will either win the league by 10+ points, or struggle to finish top 6! So we are about right, the value is in wednesday
Bet365 are offering 9/2 for us to get promoted and 14/1 to win L1 http://www.oddschecker.com/football/english/league-one/promotion
Charlton will not win promotion unless 1) they sort the defence out.2) They replace Powell as Manager.
A combination of new players, Powell learning his lessons from last season and a well organised and drilled defence will see us challenging for top spot alongside Sheffield Wednesday. Sheffield United will stagnate like we did under Parky; Huddersfield have had their day and Preston will fluctuate between mid-table and the play off places. Scunthorpe will flounder in the botom half but the surprise packages will be Yeovil and Brentford. COYR!
12.50 seems way overs in my eyes, i'll consider that. Thought we wold be about $6. Tell the missus it is an 'investment', like a sporting term deposit
Orrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, we see what CP is like as a coach with a team he has assembled? Sounds crazy, but lets try it!
I wholeheartedly agree with number one. However, Imo it's far too early to tell if number two is the case. I'm encouraged by the calibre of player Powell has brought in thus far and once he has assembled HIS squad i see no reason why he won't make a success of things... only time will tell...!! The bottom line is that whoever manages our club is out of our hands. Powell is obviously the boards man and they appear to be backing him to succeede, so lets get behind him and HIS squad of players (not Parky's) until given reason to do otherwise.
If we sign a couple of decent defenders i'd fancy us to be up there certainly. Our midfield is looking good now with Green in there aswell
Sullivan Solly - NEW CB - NEW CB - Evina Green - Hollands - Alonso - Jacko BWP - Hayes This is dependent on us getting Green, but what do people think about the midfield and attack?
