    With Burnley needing a new manager, we don’t know what the future holds. Lets keep extending the GA chapter and get a result today lads! Irrespective of what happens after today, we deserve a top 6 finish for our consistency over the course of the season. Would be so demoralizing if we didn’t hold on.

    yep both Stevenage and Luton have to win before our result becomes an issue

    Surely not to that extent? The bookies wouldn't consider league one to be lower level especially when they're compiling odds on the Honduran 3rd division. Millions of punters will be backing efl games. It's a weird one granted but I'd expect the main bookies to be pretty clued up on league one.

    Standard with bookies, they price everyone up on the assumption they are starting and then if they aren't in the squad the best just gets refunded, if they are on the bench then any 1st scorer bets are refunded if the player hasn't come on at the point of the 1st goal. For Man Utd vs Liverpool tomorrow bet365 have Will Wright as 2nd favourite to score for Liverpool, he's yet to play a minute for the 1st team and only made his first appearance on the bench last week.

    Anyone know why I can’t find an option to pay for live stream on club website? Is the live option only available for home games?

    I am watching Ipswich v QPR. My younger brother has been an Ipswich fan since the age of 10 and he is at the match today. He is taking the afternoon off his usual sports show on community radio in Essex. So far so good.

    Yes, if we can start like Ipswich did, that would be ideal.

    I'm not sure that is as true as you would like to believe. It's not for a lack of knowledge now but the use of computerized systems, probably adapting AI.
    Head office at William Hill used to be full of traders but now, oh no. Computers, following the exchanges. As an example Greyhound betting as simply exchange prices , with a greater % margin factored. No human intervention, computers.
    To price every game up beyond the PL and relevant top leagues across the world is beyond the manpower available. So I could for example, lay Bradford to win 4-0 at say 16/1 on the exchanges and if I put enough down, it will effect inevitably odds in the betting shops and online.

    A big boost with Sarcevic starting.

    Great news that Sarcevic is back. I would expect we will go back to the 3421 rather than the 4231 we went to last week.

    Surprised that Evans has dropped out of the squad unless it is an injury, even though Lapslie has done well when he's dropped back into CM in the last 2 games I would prefer to have a natural CM option on the bench.

    No idea Storck but it looks like I can watch it here on Apple TV, and also seems to be on Paramount tv streaming. Will find out in about an hour.
