nufcjb Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 We're still to play Brighton (a), Huddersfield (a), Wednesday (a), Reading (a) and Leeds (h), Derby (h). These are the teams directly below us and if we could avoid defeat in those away games and maybe get the maximum points from the home ones, I'd be very confident going up, spare for 1 or 2 hiccups against the other teams along the way.

We could afford to lose 3 of them and still get promoted in my opinion. Bear in mind the top 6 all have to play each other and Brighton too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 It's 16/1 for us to finish in the playoffs. If anyone is that worried at those odds it's surely worth a few quid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 It's 16/1 for us to finish in the playoffs. If anyone is that worried at those odds it's surely worth a few quid. If I was a betting man I would have a bit of that....still very likely at this point because we are not convincing despite yesterday's scoreline. Difficult games coming up and a couple of decent signings would make it less likely... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute rubbish Doesn't matter if you're "a betting man" or not, at those odds and it being "very likely", you put a bet on, simple as that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowlingcrofty Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Beating teams with the thick end of £15m of players at the AfCON, £23m of strikers out injured and possibly a £13m winger to come in. Starting to look a bit more like it after the rough patch. I'm on a 9.5 which will rise to a 9.9 if we win the next two home games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given our current points tally, goal difference and squad. History suggests 2 points per game will see you home, well on course for that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 merlin is just one of these people who thinks that they have control of the universe through extraordinary reverse-jinxing powers, and that he needs to expect the worst at all costs to ensure it doesn't happen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures 1-0 Football Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 The reason Merlin probably isn't a betting man is because he's lost so much money on ridiculous bets like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoreboard82 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Not taking anything for granted, this is NUFC after all, but most confident i've been for a while after generally good results this weekend. Even Brighton lost a key man to suspension when Glen Murray got sent off during their win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
