Title: Our supposedly dodgy defence.....
Post by: Dutch Uncle on February 11, 2017, 05:46:24 pm
Has now conceded a whole 5 goals in the last 10 games, never more than 1 a game, and with 5 clean sheets

We are now unbeaten in 10 league games - only the seventh time since 1950.

Mid table form from here would see us promoted (22 points from 16 games for 85 points, and it looks like less than that might be needed). Say it quietly with crossed fingers, but the above are not stats which normally usher in a collapse like last season

Title is 50-50 for me.

I would just like to say I thought Josh Wright was outstanding last night an it bodes well for the rest of the season that we can bring him in when needed.
The formation was as I expacted with 3 centre backs.
The players now seem to have bought into that system when DF decides to use it.

I've seen little of Wright but judging from what I have seen I do believe he will prove to be a very good signing for us. Very unlucky not to have featured more so far this season.

Next best at the bookies is Plymouth at 5/1, definitely worth a security punt if you think it's 50:50!

5/1! Surely not?!

Hmm I looked earlier today and could have sworn I saw 5/1, just had another look and best price is effectively 4/1 (15/4). Possibly dipped after they won today.

That must mean the odds on us winning it are very low indeed.
