We can finish Readings automatic hopes.

Sheebo · Feb 23, 2017

If we win it certainly increases the liklihood of a 3 horse race - draw wouldn't be a disaster though - same with Tuesday...

I am pretty astounded that the bookies have us at 8/13 to win - Reading 5/1 - I know we know more about the Albion than the bookies but those re silly odds IMO given we've had a slight wobble and Reading are 4th. Let's hope the bookies are right. (same goes for Barnsley 5/2 to beat Hudds - good value that IMO)

I hope it's not a nervy quiet start from our fans on Saturday

Who gives a shit about the nervyness of our fans? Face it, it's never going to get any LESS nervy for our fans from here on in. It's all about the players, and whether they come out to languidly roll the ball around in their own half for the first 45 minutes, or whether they go for the win from the off.

Well I have to say I strongly disagree with those figures.

You are in good company!

NO-ONE on NSC seems remotely confident that we will get comfortable automatic promotion with a margin of around 8-10 points ahead of Huddersfield.... yet that is precisely what the industry experts are predicting.

If, like most on here apparently, you believe that Huddersfield are now very likely to get at least 88pts+ then there is little downside to buying at 85.5. Noting your comment you must be able to get a fixed odds bet to similar effect somewhere.

I'm not really worried about Readings chances, they seem like a team that can slip up at any time, Huddersfield are the ones, though, as we all know by now, they're in form and feeling confident. The next couple of weeks are going to be interesting.

Is there somewhere I can just place a bet on them finishing above a certain number of points, rather than spread bet? Spread betting is different.

Dont think so but possibly somewhere....Betfair maybe but it will be like over/under 85 at odds like 10/11 or so each side I would imagine.

Reading 5/1 is WAY too long. I think we'll do it but giving them 5/1 surely suggests they think we'll walk this 3-0?

Yeah it's fixed odds I'm after, spread betting is a different game.

The draw with Ipswich was equally daft odds. We're much shorter odds to win than Huddersfield were, no idea why.

Newcastle have three away games in row... Against us on28th feb,Huddersfield 4th march and Reading 7th March.....Could they lose all three

Can't see that happening, but they could draw them all.

I didn't really know if you were fat though Stat Brother so I withdraw that remark you c.unt...,

Official Old Man · Feb 23, 2017

My 7 wins from 14 games spreadsheet has the next two down as draws.
Following Barnsley, and with the team on a high, we should go for a win.
Followed by another on Tuesday.

Greg Bobkin · Feb 23, 2017

One game at a time.

A long way to go.

Anything could happen.

Etc, etc, etc...

Berty23 · Feb 23, 2017

I have this one covered. I stuck a fiver in hud to beat reading and Newcastle and hud to win sat before we lose to reading. Stand to win about 150 quid. I expect the one to let me down will be late equaliser for reading. That will hurt.

Alternatively......

Come 7.30 on Sat pm, we could be 7 points ahead of Huddersfield. If we win both games (not impossible) then we will be 10 points ahead by Wednesday morning, albeit with them having a game in hand.

As much as I would love this to happen, it's not gonna is it alas.....

No mate...1-0 the favourite at those odds around 11/2, 3-0 a 14/1 poke

ferring seagull · Feb 23, 2017

Yes and perhaps they could finish ours !

Is it a case of leaving early?

Probably more a case of Southern trains being more frequent these days
