Have City to get promotion 3 ways = Win league 33/1, Auto promo 33/1 , through playoffs 9/1, £20 quid on each. If they win , quids in Did them all in August.
Its looking good then for you and me. I got odds of 40/1 for automatic promotion with a £10 bet and also did another one for a bit more with odds of 30/1 for automatic promotion. Thats my summer holidays paid for...........fingers crossed.
14 from 7 now 71 + 14 = 85 points. Thats roughly 4 wins from 7 we need. All but Cardiff have 7 games left. Watford, maximum points 88, currently have 67. Palace, maximum points 86, currently have 65. Leicester, maximum points 80, currently have 59. Brighton, maximum points 81, currently have 60. Forest, maximum points 83, currently have 61. So the pressure is fairly and squarely on all of our opponents. And Bruce (Senior) is doing a marvellous job of deflecting that pressure off his charges and on to the chasing pack.
11 from 5 now 74 + 11 = 85 points. Thats roughly 4 wins from 5 we need. Cardiff have 6 games left, the rest below have 5 each. To play Barnsley, Forest, Charlton, Burnley, Bolton, City. Watford, maximum points 86, currently have 71. To play Posh, Millwall, Blackburn, Lester, L**ds. Palace, maximum points 81, currently have 66. To play Ipswich, Lester, Blackburn, Millwall, Posh. Forest, maximum points 78, currently have 63. To play Cardiff, Boro, Barnsley, Millwall, Lester. Brighton, maximum points 77, currently have 62. To play Boro, Posh, Blackpool, L**ds, Wolves. Leicester, maximum points 75, currently have 60. To play Birmingham, Bolton, Palace, Watford, Forest. Bolton, maximum points 75, currently have 60. To play Bristol City, Lester, Boro, Cardiff, Blackpool. So the pressure is still fairly and squarely on all of our opponents. And Bruce (Senior) is still doing a marvellous job of deflecting that pressure off his charges and on to the chasing pack.
10 more points out of the 15 oughta do it by my reckoning. That's a minimum of 3 wins and a draw. Watford won't win all of their remaining games though I think they'll have a bloody good go. Our current form of win one, lose one would only give us 6 however... We need a good final push now!
Slight change from target of 85, 84 becomes the magic number. So 7 from 4 now 77 + 7 = 84 points. Thats 2 wins and a draw from 4 we need. Watford, maximum points 83, currently have 71. To play Millwall, Blackburn, Lester, L**ds. So the pressure is now massively on Watford. And Bruce (Senior) is still doing a marvellous job.
I had a nibble on City promo - automatic or play offs and will get £650 when we succeed. we were 12s at season's start and for a side that squandered play offs last season we looked value I only wish I had had more dosh to invest.
just a coincidence or not that our next 3 games are against the 3 teams currently occupying the relegation places in the championship table?
i think 4 points will do the job but it would be nice to do it without counting on watford dropping points
2 wins is a reasonable target at this stage because Watford won't win all their games. There's no point in looking for specific games for us to get points in though, the players will just be looking at Wolves and aiming to get a win there which would be one foot in the PL. Wolves is a winnable game, lets just get that one won and see what Watford do against Millwall.
