What are you all going for?

For me ATM I haven't got any idea.

Only ideas for league 1. One of Leeds, Brighton, Huddersfield. Anyone ever had any success with these?

i thinks its going to be:
Championship: QPR
League 1: LEEDS
League 2: GILLINGHAM

i work for Brighton and hove football club and although they r very activee in the market this summer i think they will fall short again... might sneak into playoffs tho

Do you? Im a lifelong fan... What is your role there?

Birmingham (Sheff U/Wolves)

Leeds (Carlisle? MKD? Peterborough?..both could go straight through, not Leicester)

Wycombe

Sheff U finished v strongly, so id prob have them in one bet, along with Huddersfield, Wycombe (all each way), 20 stake should do well there

Prob another Birmingham, Leeds, XXX

i dont dispute that Leeds are probably the best team in the league, but at 3/1 thats way too short to back in a division which is tighter than tight...

I agree but you need to put something in an accumulator and 3/1 is a good start if you want a payout...


who would you be on at what price Dwayne, knowing the division as you do?

The absolute standout bet for me, which me and Horneris have discussed, is Colchester at 22/1 or better I think.

Couple of reasons. They were relegated early from the Championship which in mind gives them an extra 6-8 weeks for an assault to get back up, which I think is vital. From mid-april, even earlier maybe, they knew what League they'd be and what budget they have. Another reason, they were in this League 2 years ago with the same manager and board (i think?), so they know exactly what they need to do get out of here. Take Leeds or Carlisle who've probably had no more than 4 weeks off, hence the lack of signings from both...

Couple more reasons. They have a new stadium, this may seem 'neither here nor there', ok they lose the adavantage of 'having a ground that no one likes playing at' in Layer Road, but the extra 20% gates that a new stadium generates + the feel good factor of moving up in the world...

They have also signed 2 good players this week, Gillespie from Cheltenham is a Championship striker IF fit for a sustained period, 16 goals in a poor Cheltenham side last season, playing a lot out wide in a 4-5-1 formation. Perkins from Rochdale is a player who i specifically watched twice last year and is decent... Lockwood is also a strong LB who never had a chance at Forest with Bennett there

Huddersfield have been busy, but they were average at best last year. Brighton have made some good signings, Livermore should thrive in League 1. Southend will also do well, they have a side full of goals.  Tranmere would be a side i'd back against this year. They must have scored 50% of there goals last year from set-pieces, from Paul McLaren delieveries, he's now gone to Bradford, theyve also lost Calvin Zola, stockdale and Steve Davies (Derby fans look forward to him) and a couple others, and brought hardly anyone in yet...

Cheers

For the record, I expect Leicester to start bad (lot of player upheaval still) but be in the top 6 by the end


Dwayne did you watch Max Gradel on loan at Bournemouth last year? Heard a lot of good things. Looking forward to seeing him playing for us

Bournemouth are not a team I generally get to see a lot of for geographical reasons! But i did see them at Tranmere i think, just before xmas, but i dont think he played, im sure he missed a couple of months of the season beacuse of personal reason/family bereavement, but could be wrong...

you are right, he did

let me know when you have to scout Leicester, I'll "treat" you to a, ahem, luxury meal in the stadium restaurant or sometihng!

What price on Luton winning there division this season.

I'll be going for an each way lucky 15 on a site which offers 4 places on the Championship, League 1, League 2, & the Conference.

Blue Square are offering this but was wondering if anyone knows of any other sites doing this so I can compare odds.

No. Only Blue Square by the looks of it.

http://www.oddschecker.com/football/english/coca-cola-championship/win-market - EW terms at bottom.

1/10 to get relegated currently. Price at Blue Sq I beleive

have a double ... Spurs to win Premier & Burnley to win Championship.

I dont pretend to understand the politics of this, but seems awfully harsh...

name your odds, then i'll double them for any stake you like...  ;)

1 million to 1 ... so you make it 2 million to 1 and i will have £1.

ty ... its a bet.

I'd drive down to Pompey to take that bet off you... ;)

LMAO ;)

We on then ??

I would love a great start by both teams just to see you squirm LOL

i not sure whose got the worst chance in the respective divisions spurs or luton lol

Lay off if they do obv..

Man U 5/4
Ipswich 16/1
Southend 16/1
Bradford 9/1

Burnley will be top 3 this season FACT !

friendly £5? I'll give you 16-1 for top, 1/4 odds top 3

need to investigate the bookies odds first ... i sense you are a tad light in your offerings ;)

haven't looked

something around there is fine

any more than 20s is too high IMO

Hills 50/1

ew is 1/4 1,2,3.

Im off to Hills tomorrow !!

i take it back!


er, £5 at 40-1 1/4 the odds top 3 then?


p.s I don't see you finishing top 3.

Made some shrewd signings though, and I think Burnley can really push on from a top 10 club to a top 6 club this season ... and with a bit of luck get in the top 3 :)
