owlinexile Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 1 hour ago, Tommy Crawshaw said: Yet the Bookies have us 3rd favourites at 3/1 to get promoted, just behind Ipswich and Sunderland. Bookies odds are entirely based on where the betting is going. Well-supported teams and teams with 'name recognition' always get short odds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies if this is a daft question, but if we are joint 3rd why does that have us listed before Charlton and Rotherham? I’m just curious as to why.

unkastav Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Im happy with around 10th at christmas, time to gel etc… then a steady climb to potential play off flirt come May. Its going to be a long season of many twists 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zorbatheowl Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Happy no one fancies us. Recruited well , wages slashed dead wood moved on. Top 6 is realistic if they gel . Time will tell but optimistic now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its going to be a long season of many twists Don't think it will take as long to gel. Big positive is the defence / midfield. Got a steady keeper in now, back four of hunt, Hutchinson, iorfa and Palmer is very good for level and used to playing together. Same with midfield 3 with luongo and bannnan with wing added. Should mean we are solid defensively and can keep in contention, should get better later on when forwards gel. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I’m just delighted we’ve managed to get a squad together. Upper mid table with maybe a late push for promotion would be a pretty decent result for me. The Jan window is almost as important as the summer one, so if we can get the squad playing together to a decent level and find out which players make the grade and which ones don’t then that would be a reasonable place to get to for Christmas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAWAWUTO17 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I don't understand how Rotherham are one of the favourites. Lost a few players over summer, not added much depth either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malek Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Geniuses at 4-4-2 predicting Sunderland to win the league They recruited poorly, play under huge pressure and won't even get in the Play Offs especially if Embelton leaves for Blackpool as predicted. Ipswich will take a while to get going, Portsmouth are worst than they were last season and Wycombe will have tough season after one they had in The Championship. At least one of smaller, well run clubs like Oxford, Lincoln or Burton will make the Play Offs like it happens every year. In my opinion no one brought in as much quality as we did. If we "click" early we could have great shot to finish in top 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshy Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Nothing is won in August anyway. Pointless exercise. Let’s keep our heads down and go about our business and see where it takes us. oh, and can someone chain up the chairman and give the key to Darren Moore. Far too quiet for my liking. At least when you’re getting slagged off you know where you stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have lost players after each relegation, but always make a few savvy signing to replace. They also tend to start a bit slowly, but are normally so fit and well drilled that come the business end, they do the business. They'll be in the mix for autos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost a few players over summer, not added much depth either Rotherham have yo-yoed between League 1 and the Championship and Warne like Cook at Ipswich has done well at this level. You’d think the teams with stability maybe there or thereabouts I think with regards us, Ipswich and Wigan, it depends how quickly things knit together. Rotherham and Wycombe should be there or thereabouts and I think Sunderland, Lincoln, Charlton and Portsmouth will all have a say but in truth it’s Anybody’s this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earlsfieldowl Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Very little expectations for the season, main priority is some stability, structure etc at the top - get this in place and we may do better than expected. Brand new team that could be decent or terrible - who knows? Almost impossible to predict where we will finish. More off field nonsense though won’t come as a surprise - just hope it’s minimal.
