We are more than capable of winning this league comfortably. Our main threat is or own squad not performing.
Outside of that, as I've said ll season, I think York are our main threat. They have a very good squad as well, although I have no idea how they are funding it.
I think Stevenage will fall away and I think Rushden and Luton have too much catching up to do.
York the real threat?

I see Brodie was sent off today for what may be a 3 game suspension, and York have Luton at home on Tuesday, which given the latter's away form........

How on earth did York not beat Histon last week?"Mooro" wrote:I'm now fearing York more than Steveange as the main title challengers, particularly looking at their fixtures over the next month...
Yes, I know Brodie was suspended but we had Beano missing today.

Re:
If Chester get booted out we'd have a game in hand over Luton though. I certainly wouldn't rule Luton out at this stage - they do seem to be coming into some form at just the right time for them (thanks in no small part to our late capitulation), and things might look a little clearer after tomorrow night. Absolutely massive game for us against R&D."boris" wrote:If Chester get booted out then I think the main threat will probably come from Luton, especially if they win at York on Tuesday.

Re:
No, I agree. Especially Luton and Rushden who both seem to have hit form at the right time."Baboo" wrote:York, Luton, Stevenage, Rushden all seem real threats to me - or am I just imagining things?
The Rushden game and the York/Luton game tomorrow will start to sort things out a bit I think.

Re:
Well, they're all still in the "in our own hands" group of teams - everyone else is looking for favours to be champions."Baboo" wrote:York, Luton, Stevenage, Rushden all seem real threats to me - or am I just imagining things?
If I was pricing up a book for the championship, I'd make it roughly:
Oxford: 8-3
Stevenage: 4-1
York & Luton: 5-1
Rushden: 8-1
Kettering & Wimbledon: 35-1
400-1 bar
(LOL - after doing the above I looked at Betfair, and they have oxford at 6-5 on to be champions, so obviously the markets are more optimistic than me!)
Re:
Or does it just mean there are more Oxford fans than those of our rivals? Surely odds reflect the bookies' exposure to an event happening rather than its chance of happening - although the two are often connected it's not always the case."SmileyMan" wrote:(LOL - after doing the above I looked at Betfair, and they have oxford at 6-5 on to be champions, so obviously the markets are more optimistic than me!)
