1/25 Peterborough 1/20 Derby 1/2 Barnsley 10/11 Reading 28/1 Hull 150/1 Birmingham are they expecting more points deduction for Derby ??
Interesting. I’m surprised Derby and Posh are that narrow just on the basis that Reading have been awful lately. I feel like we’re the ones with the momentum at the minute and would have us as the favourites out of the 4 to stay up.
Derby are 6 points behind Reading having played a game more, so will be short odds for relegation at the moment. We need to get some points away from home if we are to stand any chance.
It’s easy to look and think they’re not that far ahead, but there are only 9 games remaining. We’d need them to lose 4 and we’d need to win 3 and draw 1 just to catch them. 1 more win for Hull takes them to 41 points with a much better goal difference. Even if they won 1 and lost the other 8, we’d have to win 5 of our last 9 to go above them. Reading would also need to improve their form for both Reading and Barnsley to go above Hull. It’s not impossible, but it’s a big ask.
Agree. If we could sneak an away win it’ll put less pressure on the final home games. As it stands we’ll probably need to win all our remaining home games. They’re all winnable based on our current form, but this is Barnsley. I can’t see us getting anything at Sheff U or Huddersfield. We’re a bit of a bogey side for Millwall so perhaps that’s the one where we might get a win?
Make or break against Reading that's for sure. Would love Woodrow to be back in the squad for that game so you've got him, Morris and Madds really building the energy and team spirit that will be needed on the day. Plus the Callum Brittain of old confidence wise and what he brought to the team spirit.
There was a Wednesday fan who text into football heaven a few weeks ago, saying he'd had £20 on us staying up at something like 16/1 when we were a good 8 points adrift.
I just hope we use this international break better than we've used the previous ones. We seem to be better when games are every few days than whenever there's any kind of gap for some reason.
Bookies do not give money away & have set their odds against teams current points total which obviously Reading have more points in the bank now than the other three teams hence slight favourites to beat the drop . It will be interesting to say the least , plenty of twists & turns to come.
Those odds are about right. The Reading game is massive and I still think we need to nick a win away from somewhere.
Could easily be that West Brom are instrumental in deciding who goes down with both us and Reading to play in their last 2 games.
We need 5 wins. I've a sneaky suspicion that it will be Peterborough, Derby and Hull that will be relegated. This Saturday is massive if we win at Sheffield United, I feel Reading will be morally shattered. But with both Barnsley and Reading breathing down Hull's neck I think will collapse having thought they were safe a few weeks ago. I think Birmingham have enough and may even think about the beach now. With this in mind you just never know. Barnsley just need to concentrate on themselves and ignore the the other results and league.
Id be delighted with a point against the Blunts - this game is a free hit a bit like the Fulham one - the real game is the next one v Reading of course if we can beat the Blunts (haha) then Id take a draw against Reading
The data experts have done their number crunching and think 40 points will be enough this year, I think that’s based on us finishing on 38 and Reading on 39 according to their predictions. We would need 12 points from our remaining 9 games. https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/spo...C8cvVr9-rERc9dUPJAmz_70qQNCPb-h3850FNmj5OND70
