The other day Rudy said we were 250-1 to win the league.

I put £10 on at 150-1.

Decent odds for a team on a roll.

I've 3 outstanding bets on us

£100 e/w to win the league (1/4 to 3 places) @ 100/1. Cash out currently - £1,174. If we win the league it's £12,700 returned. Top 3 I think it's £2,600 returned.

£100 to finish Top 3 @ 8/1. Cash out currently £277. If we finish Top 3 it's £900 returned

 

My 3rd bet was Bolton to win League 2, England to win the Euros...you never know, and Liverpool to retain the....doh! 😅

@Escobarp think we may have a wealthy benefactor for the jolly boys 

I’ll let Jasmine know

That's tickled me that because I was sure it was me too.  Our appalling away form in the 80s was down to me putting Piccadilly on.  I finally broke that curse when we were away at Bournemouth in the promotion year. Switched on just as Browny scored the winner.

Yesss - we were in with their fans on the side were the players came out, we didn't get any mither even though we celebrated like loons when Brownies late winner went in. It's still one of my favourite away days and the night out after in Bournemouth was quality- 3 days later it got even better.

Used to love listening to Piccadilly from late 70s to about mid 90s (and Radio Manchester); Tommy Docherty phone in pre-match when that was a new thing, James H Reeve hosting, reporters Tom Tyrell, Bryan Clark, Stuart Pike;  "Its A Goal!!", "Oh Noooo" etc and match commentary was only 2nd half, just going around the grounds in 1st half.  Great days, even though we lost away most weeks in the 80s as you say.

Takes me back to the 70s when at reserve games, lots of folk had radios and a mini cheer would go up if the first team had scored in their away game.

Aye, i was another one on the fence at the end. There was a lot of heavy drinking done that day & some of it's a bit blurred, but it was one of the best ever away days that turned into one of best weeks !!!

With Barnsley losing at home last Saturday, we are currently have the longest unbeaten run in all 4 leagues.

Just for anyone interested:

7 or 8 games ago when I did a points average for everyone and projected same averages to end of season, 1st place (FGR) was on course for 84 pts.  2nd was 79 (Carlisle!) and 3rd on 77 (Cheltenham). 

We were 12 off the pace, heading for 65 points if we didn't improve our average. 

A few suggested the average points of the top teams would come down as teams played each other.  That may still happen, but no sign of it yet despite a few H2Hs recently.  Top has dropped by 1 to 83 (Cheltenham), 2nd and 3rd (FGR & Tranmere) both increased to 80, so our "target" has increased by 3 points.  Instead of being 12 short of it we're now 3.5 short with our improvement, heading for 76.7 points.  

Cheltenham, Tranmere, Cambridge, Morecambe and Newport have all improved.  FGR, Exeter, Salford, Carlisle got worse.

Another 20 points should do it if we beat FGR, if we lose I'd expect us to need more than 80.

Tonight is another example of why predicting results/finish tables is pointless

Win this league 

 

 

Bet365 have us as third in betting for promotion but fifth in betting to finish top 3.

 

8/1 to win league

So, there are 3 automatic places, plus 1 from 4 in the play-offs.

We are 3rd favourites to be promoted.

But NOT one of the top 3,  not even 4th.

That's weird arithmetic.

The only logic I can see is that we are behind so might not catch up, but if in play offs would be strong favourites. 
 

Win Saturday and think the odds change dramatically. 

It isn't even going to the last game.

Promotion confirmed when we beat Exeter.

And I'm normally a glass half empty type when it comes to the Whites.

I know what you're saying, but average points also show that despite all the ups and downs, wierd results, teams going on good and bad runs, the points total for 7th place hasn't changed - it was 73 a while ago and it still is. 

3rd place forecast has gone from 77.2 a while back to 79.2 after last night's results.  So I'm sticking to needing 80 pts for 3rd, course it can change but probably not by much.  Winning title was 84 originally and now 83.

5 points off the top 

30 to play for

We should be aiming to now go and win this league 

We've an excellent chance but if we dont turn our dominance into goals soon, we'll as likely drop points here and there, like we did at Bradford.

Let’s see what Paddy Power have to say about this tonight

I think 19 points from the last nine gets us promoted ... that's win 6 draw 1 and lose 2.  

As written above, you couldn't even rule out top spot if we keep up this incredible points per game ratio of the last 12 or 13 matches.

Armchair and metaphorical cigar now for the 3pm games. If Mansfield get something against them bindipping cunts the day is complete.

Hope GD doesn’t catch us out 

We've just dropped out of the automatic places.

Boooo !! Evatt out.

With the games elsewhere, 4 points from 6 over Easter should put us in good stead. Two wins even better.
