Early odds for next season and the bookies have us favourites to win the league. Sunderland 3/1 Barnsley 8/1 Charlton 12/1 Portsmouth 14/1 Luton 16/1 Peterborough 16/1 Scunthorpe 16/1 Oxford 16/1 Burton 20/1 Coventry 20/1 Plymouth 20/1 Fleetwood 20/1 Doncaster 25/1 Bradford 25/1 Bristol Rovers 25/1 Shrewsbury 25/1 Southend 25/1 AFC Wimbledon 40/1 Blackpool 40/1 Rochdale 40/1 Walsall 50/1 Gillingham 66/1 Accrington 100/1 Wycombe 100/1
When I say big, I don't mean big. But teams that have in recent history been premiership teams or had mediocre successful periods, Blackpool, Portsmouth, Charlton, Coventry, Bradford.
If we start the season with the titans, Sheasy and Catts, playing, my confidence is going to drain away rapidly, but as long as Ross sorts everything out that he should and gets the right players in I expect us to win the league.
Bloody hell Coventry are 10th with the bookies. They only managed to finish 6th in League 2 last year ffs!
Jesus wept. You need to steamroll these teams next season. What an utter shower of ****. I’ll probably whack £100 on you to go up. It’ll be like printing money!
I saw the other day that we are favourites for the title, but second favourites for promotion ! How does that work ?
Getting excuses in early just in case you feck up.........................(it's always a good move) There are indeed some big names in this league. Accrington Stanley is 17 letters long and don't get me started on Peterborough United. League one is like a who's who of failure if you look close enough. Bit like a Rest Home for the fallen and forgotten.
I’d be ****ing gobsmacked if we weren’t favourites. It’s League ****ing One. We may **** it up, cos we are Sunderland, but we shouldn’t. It’s a shower of **** and our shower should be marginally less ****.
