    I was looking for the best odds for a few bets and came across this.

    https://www.oddschecker.com/football/english/league-2/english-league-2/to-finish-bottom

    5/2 to finish bottom – shortest odds of any team. I would imagine that the club management disagree with this, however you don’t see many poor bookmakers…

    By the way, I hope the players prove the odds wrong by the way!

    That’s only because games are 90 minutes long.

    If they lasted 75 minutes then we’d by 5/2 to finish top!

    Judging by the media engagement with the fans from the clubs leadership
    it does not look good.

    I don’t see why Oldham are not favourites. I think they’ll be last with us probably 23rd.

    Do you have proof of this? I mean, can you prove it, do you have statistics or are you just posting the usual shite?

    Sorry, just adding the same as what I got when I dared to post similar.

    My proof is what happened between 16:40 and 16:55 on Saturday.

    I was not at the Sutton game!

    I don’t think we need statistics to prove we are prone to conceding late goals and have been for a while.

    Part of this may be fitness and part may be over cautious tactics and dropping deeper later in the game whenever we have a point or more to hang on to.

    I think the biggest factor though is probably the lack of confidence running through the team and the club.

    Difficult to instill confidence when we have been so poor for so long but this is part of the challenge for the coaching staff.

    Given that fitness and tactics are also pretty much down to the coaching staff as well it’s not difficult to work out what needs to change.
