It's going to be interesting to see what changes Jones makes after watching them in action for his first game. My guess is he'll revert to 4-4-fecking 2, although with the squad we have it's hard to see how it can work without putting one or two square pegs in round holes. Ramsay for T. Watson looks certain, ande maybe Thomas for Edun. If Camara was fully fit he would start but, like Aneke, he needs to be managed carefully. I'll be disappointed if Ladapo starts ahead of Kanu, but after that we don't have anyone, unless he takes a chance with Casey, who is doing quite nicely with the U-21's. The most welcome news would be that Scott has been relieved of his duties.
The bookies make us favourites for this one. You can get 5/2 Lincoln, but only 6/5 Charlton, with 12/5 the draw.
Outrageous. It's not worth betting against us. How are we favourites when we've taken 1 point from our last 5 games, while Lincoln (10 places and 10 points above us) have taken 9 points from their last five matches unbeaten.
All losing runs come to an end. I think we'll win tomorrow. Not to say we won't go on another losing run, but Jones will have learned from Saturday's capitulation and will tweak the team. We're playing Lincoln, not Manciteh.
I keep thinking that this will be the game where we turn the tide. Yes, our run must come to an end and this could be the game where it does. Lincoln are not that good and we’re at The Valley. That must mean something to the players. Chuks is coming back soon and others are nearing fitness. Nathan Jones has started to assert himself and hopefully has the measure of Scott now. Our home form is better than our away form and the players know this is our last chance to get any points in February. It’s all positive. This is the game.
And then I look at our squad. 5/2 for a Lincoln win you say ? I’m in large. Edit - top bet of the year - Lincoln win is currently 7/2 Draw is 7/2 Charlton win is 2/1 Have £10K on each. You literally cannot lose and if either of the first two come in you are £15K up.
Bet 365 - very occasionally you get anomalies like these that exist for a while before the bookies system catches on
Moore bad news for us…… I’d have preferred it if they’d stayed managerless for a while. He will improve their results, no doubt about it.
Our relegation odds have gone from 9/1 to 7/1 to now being 11/4. But, we are currently 7th most likely to be relegated, behind Carlisle, Fleetwood, Cheltenham, Reading, Shrewsbury and Burton. Looking at all the fixtures, how on earth can that be correct ?
