I was reading Jon Colman's article which said we were 33-1 outsiders to win promotion. Surely even that price is remarkably bad value.

If we were to make the play-offs I'd have us at 10-1 but the chances of us getting 7th spot are themselves at least 10-1 maybe 20-1 with 8 teams down to Luton in with a chance. Wimbledon look the clear favourites and we would need to win at least 4 out of the last 5 in all probability and still hope that results went our way.

I know it's not over until it's over but realistically I'd put our chances at going up this season at 150-1.

Well Wimbledon and Exeter have more points than us and are in better form than us, so it is hard to make a logical argument that we will finish above them, but if everything went according to form, I would have quit my job and would be raking it in.

Win on Saturday and we'll be back in the mix.
If not, virtually zero chance.

Our form has been on par for the last few games, not terrible (on paper I mean).

Best hope really is eg W 3 D 1 L 1 and that is just enough to scrape it.

If we got in the play-offs we'd be about 6/1.

Accrington wont need the play offs believe me

They have a group of players who just go out to win never mind formations plans and fuc king sports science

Manager just puts 11 on the pitch and tells em to get on with it.

And now they have a man with a bit of spare cash behind them they.ll take a bit of stopping.

No actually i.m not as i.m pretty close to someone whos pretty close to the Accrington dressing room.

Big Difference between Kavanagh and Coleman one knows what hes doing and has been a manager for 18 of the last 20 years and the other doesnt and was just an idiot who got lucky when he got the job as he was the easy option and will probably stll only have that 18 months on his cv when he retires

Just watch how many of the Accrinton players who get offered new deals whichever division theyre in decide to stay there and as my mate says they look at it as being paid to play for a sunday league team where they all get on and have a good laugh.

But I do take your point about them all wanting to play for him which definitely helps

Dont get me wrong i.m not knocking him at all what he has done for that club is amazing but i wouldnt mind betting youd agree if he was given a job in the championship hed be totally out of his depth.

There are actually people in Accrington saying i hope Whatmore dont splash the money around as it will kill the club and what it stands for.

But thats the problem however this season works out its given them something theyve never had before ambition and expectation.

And i would imagine it will change for ever the way he goes about his job after all Stanley managers were only ever sacked for being at the wrong end of the table and not for not achieving promotion.

And right now there are a large number of disenchanted Rovers supporters whos number could swell massively if the Venkys dont splash the cash at Ewood this summer who could be attracted to the Crown in a situation that wont come up very often.

RagingBlue Offline Ball Boy Posts: 94 Likes received: 29	Due to extreme boredom I looked at all the teams going for 7th place and I've got Wimbledon as a pretty much comfortable 7th placed finish. Playing some very average sides in their run in, their game in hand is Portsmouth but even with a loss there they have to be favourites. I've gone for; 7. Wimbledon 73 8. Exeter 70 9. Carlisle 68 10. Leyton Orient 68 11. Wycombe 65 Hope I'm wrong..

They have a better gd as things stand. I think Wimbledon have got the final place with a couple of late wins in the last 2 games.
