Argyle Promotion Odds

The odds will surely change over the summer as teams make new signings but it's still surprising to see the Pilgrims' ranked so low.

Rotherham are the favourites to win League Two followed by big-spending league newcomers Fleetwood.

There are much better odds available. 25-1 with Betfred for instance. A quarter of the odds eachway for a top 3 finish.

Obviously when use up all of our "competetive budget" on players who play stylish football, these odds will tumble

I don't understand why Rotherham are such short odds. I know they have a new manager and stadium but the 7-2 best price is ridiculous. Anyone backing Argyle should do them each-way, which might not be a bad bet with another 3 or 4 close season signings.

I think Bristol Rovers will do well, and at 14-1 look worth a bet, but Cheltenham at 25-1, the same price as us, is a standout on this seasons form.

I fancy Bristol Rovers strongly and I think McGhee has inherited a good squad that under performed for Paul Buckle. Rotherham will be up there as well a new stadium, decent budget and a manager who for all his personal faults has a good record at our level.

I think even at just over 6/1 for a top 3 finish, that isn't great value.

Realistically at this point, with the squad we have, a top ten finish would be an achievement.

Not sure what signings Rotherham have made or are planning, but they were around 6/1 to win the league in mid-May, so a few people must have backed them quite heavily to come in to 7/2.

16/1 looks like a good bet to me. Especially when you compare to the odds being offered for England to win Euro 2012 (also 16/1).

I can't understand the Optimism? We have a decent defence, but our attacking options (currently) are woeful. I see on a Vital poll 50% think we will get in the playoffs

Cole seems to have fitness/ injury issues - is Chenoweth a suitable replacement?

I would think that Nick Chadwick's fitness/injuries would be of a greater concern than Jake Cole.

No, we need a new keeper on loan. If Cole get's injured for longer than a game, Chenoweth will not be good enough to fill in.
