Not sure I like being favourites. I fully expected us to lose to Palace at the Amex in March, which made victory all the sweeter. This week is going to be horrible.
Every member of the panel said Brighton will make the play-off final and are most likely to go up...
They believe! Do we dare...?
You are of course correct. But it still doesn't feel right!It's just a word, it doesn't mean that anything is more or less likely to happen than it already was.
The current odds suggest that our chance of going up is approximately 28pc, ie. 3pc better than it would be if they just drew lots. For Palace, it is around 20pc, or 5pc *worse* than it would be at random.
I struggle to understand why anyone wouldn't want to be the favourite. Give me a 28pc chance over a 20pc chance any time.
