League One 24/25 Updates

[APJ]

I don't like to admit it, but you've got to consider Stockport decent e/w value there at 20/1

'Toughsheet'! That is so close to 'Toughshit'. You couldn't make it up. Much prefer previous Burnden, or Reebok.

I mean, you could make it up, someone obviously did, deliberately, purely for that effect.

I've been to that stadium a fair bit either with a Bolton fan or taking a spare ticket in the away end with fans of other teams when I was at Uni (at the time, it was a Premier League ground), would be a very welcome away trip if they don't make it up.

Aye. Definitely seems more of a runing game from what I've seen so far. I'd suggest Stockport need to do far more transfer work than ourselves, especially in the middle.

No doubt this comes back to bite me when they win the league with 112 points but seems they need a rebuild. Not sure they’ll be as big a threat next season.

Remember driving up to Oakwell on a cold Tuesday night in 2005. About 400 of us. Shit hole. Lost 1nil.

Saw a few league 1 games myself this season. And it’s the one thing that stood out for me.

It’s part of the reason it would have been madness to extend Tozer. He struggled/ took time to adapt to the pace of league 2. League 1 is a whole new ball game.

We should be around 50/1 to win the league, based on our squad. Bookies having a laugh at 9/1.

50/1 on a team who will likely have a top 6 budget ? Yeah right

Bookies don't get rich giving money away

[PG7]

For the millionth time. It's not necessarily a reflection of what the bookies think will happen, it's an odd based on what's already been put on to mitigate losses. Wrexham will be easy pray for people who don't know the league

No, they get rich by offering piss poor value and that's exactly what 9/1 is.

Budget has nothing to do with it. Look at Man United!

The fact is, our squad is miles off anything near winning League One. 9/1 suggests we have a 10% chance of winning the league. Never in a million yeara.
