Calculated risk. Pretty confident of a win for us tonight, so if the rest of the bet is (unfortunately) going to come in I may as well beef up the payout a bit - even if it is only 4/9

Yes but Huddersfield haven't got any pressure on them....Time will tell if they can handle the pressure as to be frank they look the better bet than us at the moment but things will always chop and change
Huddersfield Town are a major worry. The others are just as capable of faltering as we are but they look unstoppable.

Yeah they dominate games and score goals galore....
They don't need to, they just keep winning.
I wasn't meaning that you don't know for a fact, I just meant that I'm not so sure, as I think it could be pretty close to that.
This isn't meant as an after the fact thing, I'd have posted it earlier if I wasn't rushing to get to the game. I don't understand why you'd back us at 4/9, it's just poor value.

Newcastle are the only side to screw up my Acca!
It is not fine margins isn't it? If Murray scores late and huds don't then it is 8 points. As it is we are 4 points ahead. How can we possibly be disappointed to be only 4 points ahead. By the law of averages we are due a good away match and hud due a defeat. Let's hope this happens. At least we didn't lose (they missed lots more chances)
Thanks to me tonight wasn't a complete disaster.
Had I not bet, Newcastle would have won.

Any of the play off teams are capable of top two
Had Toon got a late winner too tonight's dropped points would have been tempered to the tune of almost £500
Given that I think they will finish top 2 I'm gutted about our result and my misery bet - which is not the idea FFS

Silly old bat
They can change places with Newcastle.

Indeed. I think The Toon have three nasty away games in one week coming up. Or is that Huddersfield Town ?
Had the frustration of listening on the radio tonight as my back has gone crook. With all the medicines I'm pumped with I'm surprised I can remember who we are playing.
Still, looking forward to the trip to Guiseley on Saturday.
It's beginning to look that way. Generally, there is a ruthlesness being displayed on a more regular basis than I might have expected. Pretty frightening in some respects and might begin to question the "anyone can beat anyone" cliche.
I'm fairly confident 90 won't be enough, worrying!

The remaining fixtures for the top 4 are fairly even. On paper, Huddersfield's are the easiest. Their only remaining away games vs. top 10 opposition are Barnsley and Derby.
But it's these 6 pointers that will define the season - and there are 5 of them crammed into 15 days. Newcastle have 3 huge away games in a row - but then they have a relatively easy April (bar Sheff Wed away)
Tues 21st Feb - Huddersfield vs. Reading
Sat 25th Feb - Albion vs. Reading
Tues 28th Feb - Albion vs. Newcastle
Sat 4th Mar - Huddersfield vs. Newcastle
Tues 7th Mar - Reading vs. Newcastle
