Wasn't sure where to put this but, as much as I'm trying to take my bias hat off, I have to say that I have been impressed with the quality of signings to date culminating with this morning's announcement of Kelman. Whatever your opinion, these are the current best prices available for -

Winner - 100/1 (various 1/4 odds top 3)
Top 2 Finish - 50/1 (numerous)
Top 3 Finish - 20/1 (Unibet, BETMGM)
Top 6 Finish - 12/1 (numerous)
Top Half - 11/4 (William Hill)
Promotion - 33/1 (BetVictor)
Relegation - 3/1 (BetVictor)
To Finish Bottom - 11/1 (Bet365)
Handicap - 18/1 (Bet365 +34 points, 1/4 odds, top 4)

You pays your money and takes your choice.

Perhaps the most intriguing one for me is each way in that Handicap market. For those that aren't familiar with this market, every side is allocated a certain number of points - scratch or zero is Ipswich so we would have to finish 33 points behind them or less to finish above them, our nearest and dearest, Millwall, are +24 so we would have to finish 9 points or less behind them to beat them etc etc. Last season the top 4 (actual points + handicap points) achieved 106, 106, 100 & 96 points. So, a team having a 34 point start would have needed 73 points to win the handicap and 63 points to finish in the top 4. Is this side capable of getting around 63 points?

That said, 58 points last season would have been sufficient to finish in the top half last season so the 11/4 might be the value.

Every year since Sanguard arrived I put £500 on us getting promoted! I was obviously in a big hole lol last year got me out of the hole and I swore I wouldn’t do it again but I’m very tempted at playoffs lol

I’m backing us 3/1 for a top half finish. (Hills and Paddy).
