By the time we play next... We could be bottom three

[Michael Morris]

Peterborough play twice before we do. Hopefully they lose both games but if they win them both, and Reading get a point at QPR on Saturday then we will kick off v Forest in the relegation zone.

We follow Forest H with Barnsley A and Peterborough H in the league (ignoring the cup game). The next few weeks could be pivotal in our season.

Highly unlikely that Peterborough, a team that has won 5 games all season, would suddenly win twice in a week. Not impossible by any means, but the odds on that happening are currently 15/1.

Incidentally, the odds on City being relegated are currently 4/1, which I reckon is a little on the short side if anything.

Probably could have said a similar thing about Hull a week ago, but somehow they managed to beat 2 of the better teams in the league.
Must be the influence a new owner has on a team 🤔

Fair point, but I think Peterborough’s defensive record makes the prospect of two wins in a week considerably less likely. They’ve conceded 20 more goals than Hull, having played two fewer games.

I think 4 / 1 is very generous.

Suprisingly Sky have us favs for Saturday at 8/5 Forest 9/5.

Those Forest odds look very generous.

A is shorter and pretty important if one wishes to be selective.
