33/1 for relegation at the moment. Don't think it will happen, but with the way the squad looks at the moment that price is too big.

I think something like 12/1 would be a more realistic price

So get on it if you think it's priced in the gambler's favour.

Bet big and make the most of it.

From an optimistic point of view, we are joint 2nd favourites at 9/1 to finish top.

I know "it's only a friendly" but on yesterdays showing we will be nearer to relegation than promotion, but I don't think either will happen

I'm as frustrated as the next man but I think people need to calm down. It can't be done overnight

I'm quite upbeat about it.

Gollini, Steer. Goal.
Clark/Baker/Okore/Elphick Centre back.
Richards/Hutton RB.
Amavi/Aly LB
Tshibola/Gardner Centre Midfield.
Adama/Grealish/Green wide/attacking
Ayew Upfront.

We need much more quality in midfield and a Striker.  I don't think we are a million miles from a decent team but it will take time.

Or Hutton/Richards at right back?

12/1 would make us around 17th favourites for relegation.

Hardly a "FFS" worthy statement

Like many, I'm not a fan of the man. But if he remains here and is willing to play right back - I'd give him the benefit of the doubt. As I've said before, Hutton is good enough for the championship, in my opinion.

I have had a cheeky tenner on it. Although I do thoroughly expect the squad to be improved by the time the window closes. That's why I said the way the squad looks at the moment

On which, promotion or relegation?

I think a lot of ppl need to realise that the standard in the Championship is pretty poor so even with our current load of shite squad we will most likely finish in the top half of the table (I advise anyone who disagrees with this statement to take a look at last seasons Championship table). It's what we do in the next few weeks that will determine how high up the table we could finish.

There has to be more targets though.  I mean Bristol City got Kodjia last summer for a couple of million. We must have some forward options scouted that would not cost the earth but actually give us some drive and thrust going forward.  We can't even play on the counter due to a lack of any pace.

I don't think they inherited a scouting network as such...
