Any reason Stevenage without Evans are at 10-1 and we are 14-1

Tougher division than this season. Teams dropping and coming up all shorter odds, Crawley aside perhaps. We will need to recruit well...

When I look at the list of teams in league 1 next season, most of them are starting from a higher position than us on this season's places, or have more spending power ( bigger budgets) than us, and I think the odds are about right.
If you turn the betting in its head, the bookies expect us to finish 6th from bottom.
With 4 dropping, it means a relegation battle, if those odds are right.

Untrue. 10 teams finished higher than us in the pyramid. 13 did not.

No surprise for me. Odds of around 12-14/1 sounds about right. Let's hope that Wellens can prove them wrong.come the end of the season.

But 4 of those 13 were relegated, so only 9 that are still in league 1 finished below us

And since 3 of the 10 teams were promoted, there are only 7 still in League One who finished above us. So still not 'more'.

Ok fair enough

However im a bit concerned about next season, as we finished pretty badly, with very few wins from just before Easter, and Ive not much confidence in the clubs ability to bring in players that are an upgrade

I don't entirely share your pessimism about our potential recruitment but I agree next season's line up of teams does already look more challenging, on paper at least.

8 ex prem without points deductions with 20-30k stadiums, plus Wrexham and Bitofacon Crawley - tricky to match that budget

We have been underestimated before and we will be so again.

Crawley will be no big threat. They had to get rid of the big earning Striker (From Newport now at Barrow). Crypto basket case. Their manager has done very well, lot of non league players from outside NL

I wonder what odds Oxford were to get promoted at the start of last season?

I'll bet you a tenner that the bookies odds for League One ten weeks before the start of the season are no useful guide to anything.
