God knows how we are that long of a price given our momentum and the budget we are going to have next season which I guess will rivial most of those in League one.
We are a decent bet for another promotion.

How Oxford are 8 betting points shorter than us is odd given that they only finished a point in front of us and we have alot more money than them

We are a decent bar for another promotion. All that has been suggested is that it'll be competitive which could mean anything, I'd put our chances looking at those odds at 14/1, not sure why oxford are so high as I doubt their star player will still be with them? |

That's Title odd.
I assume it's different for Promotion odds.

To be fair a promoted team isn't going to be one of the favourites for the title. Until there is some evidence that money is going to be spent the bookies aren't going to reflect it in the odds.

I'd think that a 'competitive' budget would mean a top 6 budget.Maybe only Sheff utd,Bolton and Charlton would be 100% to be higher than ours.I think that DC would have been offered a very large playing budget to work with in order to stay.I'd be amazed if our budget is not in the top 6 next season. |

But why are Oxford so short?? Can't see why the bookies think they have a better chance than us and Northampton. They have the same chance of winning it as Charlton? 2nd half of the season us and Northampton were in a lot better form than Oxford. |

we have been promoted 2 divisions and most promoted teams struggle or finish mid-table,i think some people are getting carried away a bit on here anyway.

We're the same as Scunthorpe, they were diddled out of a playoff place when Barnsley won 4 - 1 at Wigan! thanks to a certain Lee Nichols.

No English club has ever had three consecutive promotions (except in the lower levels of non-league) and DC is now at a new level for him as a manager, but I am surprised to see us quite so far down the odds.

Can't see it being a top 6 budget with some of the clubs in there! |

I guess the odds will be a mixture of how large the fan base is thus more of those fans supporting their team and the odds will reflect money put on. I love the optimism although I suspect the reality will be less. What I hope for and think we can realistically expect is for us to be competitive and be mid to upper mid table. I have always had faith in this squad of players and DCs ability to get the best from it. Good recruitment of 3/4 players (depending onMT) to go in the team, not squad players, will improve the team and keep the ethos behind the squad. Then with DCs tactical awareness and a bit of luck with injuries we could threaten the playoffs. If we have a very good start, the confidence of the squad could make it even better. But my hope is that we compete and give a good account of ourselves and see the confidence grow.
UTG!
