Bet 365 down to 25/1 for a top seven finish - was 40/1 yesterday when I stuck a cheeky £5 on - the Bookies are starting to take notice at least.

Three weeks ago I got 40-1 for top 7, 66-1 play offs and 250-1 promotion. Yes, it was more in hope than expectation, but I’m not cashing out just yet!

We could and some have made a late run but.....

To do this I think we’d need to get 7 points from Carlisle, Stevenage and Bury at home.... possible? Definitely.

Then we’s need at least 5 from Oldham, Colchester and Tranmere away, big ask IMHO.

Then at least 15 points from the sides below us would leave us on 73 points and if other results go are way we’re in with a shout.

All that said I think we’ll just miss out but keep the feel good factor and be real contenders next term.

Two weeks ago Grimsby Town were 66/1 to make the play-offs with Sky Bet, checked tonight and it's down to 22/1.

Quoted from RonMariner
Looking at the last 12 league games, we won four on the bounce, then lost four on the bounce, and have now won four on the bounce again.

Still, that's 24 points from 12 games, better than play off form. Promotion form in fact.

If we maintain this form and get 26 points from the last 13 games that would take us to 72 points. Last season 7th place ended on 75 points.

Not impossible, but a huge ask.  


Two of those 4 defeats were against the top teams, Lincoln and Mansfield and we were struggling with a lack of central defenders and Sebastian and Ludwig were just finding their feet.

In my opinion we are a far better side now and the system seems to be working well.

Another poster said that he thought Cheltenham had sussed out our passing game and perhaps other teams might, but a team who pass are harder to defend against, than a team who can only play the big boot to the strikers.

are their parallels with the Buckley season when we had the cup run and then finished quite high up after a poor start to the season or have got the years muddled up?

If the bookies are drastically dropping odds, then it must be a real possibility ,they don't throw money away !

At the end of February 2017, Blackpool were 15th and 8 points off the play-offs (albeit with a game in hand).

They ended up in the play-offs and beat Exeter in the final.

While it's mathematically possible then it can happen... it's not likely to, but I wouldn't put my mortgage on us not doing it either! Funny things happen in sport.
