modboy Posted August 27, 2020 Author Share Posted August 27, 2020 Without the -12 I think we'd be content to be pushing for the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelman Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 How they put Stoke 5th when they're signing dogshit like Megan Fox is laughable. Personally think they're a decent outside bet to go down with a transfer policy of signing Wednesday rejects. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Odds are a waste of time. Can’t help but remember the odds they had for people like Rowett and Cowley being named our manager! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaliceInBlunderland Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Have Bristol City had a points deduction too? 19th below dingles and toytown. Whataloadofshite. Don't think we'll go down either and I certainly don't have Millwall down for 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
31Dec1966 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Looking at those odds more closely they are a bit strange. Norwich at 4/5 to finish top 6 is an absolute steal. Finished top season before last, now have tons of money, good manager. I would be staggered if they finished outside the top 6. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashamanic Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 That with the 12 point deduction? So without it they would think Wednesday to end on 61 points, just 6 outside the play off? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did, horrendous Just looking at that table and the bookies would average as mid table. Probably about right if we sort out our defence, midfield, attack and goalkeeper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillsboromassive Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Don't read too much into bookies odds, they're there to make the bookies money if we're honest. Think it'll be a long hard season, we'll do well to finish midtable if I'm completely honest.. however that view might change should we sign some proven, quality players for this league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S26 Owl Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Staggers me that the bookies think we are only 10/1 to finish top 6. Top 6 last season finished on 60 points, so we'd need 72 (WBA last season) to finish top 6 with the deduction. One of the worst prices ive ever seen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blatter Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Not a betting man but why would they give same odds for top 12 finish and bottom 3 finish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) I would be happy with a 4th from bottom finish the way things are at the minute. Edited August 27, 2020 by WalthamOwl 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheff74 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 8 hours ago, Plonk said: TBF Barnsley finished well, look like they have a plan, are already 12 points in front of us, and I don’t see us taking six points of them next season as it stands. Maybe 1?so that would put them 16 points ahead of us? Agreed. The Dingles have a good manager, who got them playing very well towards the end of the season. If he is backed just a little by the owners they will be a very tidy outfit next time out. Full of energy and nobodies whipping boys. I think they will be fairly comfortable, but won't finish above Norwich, who have made a couple of decent signing so far and already had a team who know this league very wel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westfield Owl Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Is anyone really surprised the bookies think we are going down? Worrying times ahead. 10 hours ago, HighworthOwl said: They had us bottom last summer so at least that shows some improvement in the way others see us. High fives all round! No they didn't. There was a Sky Sports poll that was released last July, which you might be thinking of. Voted for by online fans, that had us bottom. Very easy to manipulate that sort of arbitrary online poll and ultimately meaningless. Would have been easy for pigs, Leeds, Rotherham etc fans to register a vote putting us bottom. Football fans are quite childish like that. The bookies; totally different comparison. They don't get too much wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
