Once again. Can we not have a culture where people are told they have to gamble to be taken seriously? I really don’t think it’s wise on a forum for a sport filled with addicts.

66/1 is hardly gambling if you think we’re in a relegation battle, it’s easy money. Lay it off near the end of the season and you’re not even risking anything.

Unless the bookies actually have it right and we’re in no danger of relegation of course.

We're 40/1 on SkyBet, where are you getting 66 from?

Im sorry. Maybe you have a problem and you haven’t admitted it. If we had several members on the forum who were admitted alcoholics I wouldn’t be telling them to just have a sip.

You can make your point without needing to gamble and if you can’t I suggest you seek help.

i dont think we are in a relegation battle - we are just in mid table mediocrity.

Wont get into the whole gambling thing, but odds are a good barometer.

We are still more likely to get promoted than relegated according to those!

If I thought you were genuinely saying this in good faith and not to point score on the internet I would agree. But I don’t.

You wouldn't tell them to have a sip? You know sudden withdrawal is as dangerous as large consumption don't you?

Where was I laughing? You are the one that came out with the insensitive analogy. Withdrawal from alcohol is exceptionally dangerous.

You can get 66/1 on us to go down. Surely worth a fiver if you actually think we’re in trouble? Or are people just fear-mongering for effect…

I would never bet against the club (just a personal thing), but if someone asked me objectively whether that is a good bet (presuming it is 66/1), I would have to say it is worth a punt.

I don't think we will be relegated but unless we bring some players in this window it won't be comfortable

I expect us to finish mid-table

So many pub options around Highfield Rd.
So few at the CBS, although the Casino & the "Jimmy Hill" ain't too bad.

11 points clear of the bottom 3.

Can we now officially officially agree, we are now not in a relegation battle?

Unfortunately I have to concede I was wrong on this one….although the Coventry fan in me still feels it could go wrong!

Let’s be fair, up until the Bristol City win talk and worry of a relegation battle was not unfounded whatsoever

I was certainly worried as we were conceding crap goals nearly every week but they’ve been cut out and we have found a winning formula

I do think though it’s a pretty damning reflection on the rest of the division that we have only looked a decent side for about two weeks and a win Wednesday would take us level on points with the Top 6 - It’s a poor Championship this season

I would do some research and look back in the last 5 seasons of the Championship and specifically the league table between game 22 and game 30 period. The league position changes are quite significant.

Even more so between game 30 and the end of the season.

Every single season, because of this movement people say “it’s a poor Championship this year”.
But the place fluctuation is the norm (other perhaps the top 2 or 3).

It doesn’t make it a poor league in my eyes, it’s what makes it the best league in the world.
