My Peterborough supporting mate says the same, although he says that every year and they always seems to be up there.NabySarr said:
Peterborough have also lost a few key players, they usually recruit well to replace but I’d imagine they won’t be as strong this year eitherDyerConsequences said:If the season started today we'd have to have a terrible season to finish below Barnsley, Wrexham and Reading.
The rest given how far above us they finished last season, or the fact they were in a higher division, and the transfer windows they've had I can understand why they'd be shorter odds than us.
Barnsley have lost a lot of players, new manager, and only signed 1 player and 1 player/coach who isn't going to play week in week out.
Wrexham have lost a couple of players and only added 2, Dobson and Brunt. They didn't even win the league last season, and were closer to finishing below Mansfield than they were to finishing above Stockport, who have had a much better window so far.
Reading have lost a few players, have signed no one, are under an embargo where they can't even sign players on a free or a loan, and are only ever 1 missed payment away from another points deduction.
Obviously all that being said there is plenty of time for the above to change, but right now there is no way we should be finishing below those 3.2 -
I'd be absolutely stunned if they managed to keep hold of Azeez too. Far far too good for League 1sam3110 said:Reading being better backed than us without signing a single player and having a few leave is absolutely crazy and just shows how the betting doesn't always follow reality0 -
Might be worth signing up to WrexhamLife and continuing your ongoing conversation with yourself about how much better Dobson is than Coventry, they might even like to hear it over there!Showmetheway2gohome said:Well apparently Dobson shit now and Coventry is levels above him according to some on here now. 🤪4 -
We have a very tough start to the season fixtures wise.TheFXguy said:Time to waste yet more money hopelessly backing Charlton get in now while it is still worth it!
i think we’ll be 8/1 for promotion come October!0 -
they triggered a 1 year option on Azeez otherwise he would have gonePelling1993 said:

I still think someone will buy him, they're still strapped for cash right?Reading Addick said:

he said he just wants to play football. My son was chatting with him the other day as he was training at a local sports centre near me

The motto of George Dobson FC.Showmetheway2gohome said:It’s called being honest and not bullshitting yourself
I loved the bloke when he played for us and didn't want him to go but he's moved on and so should you and focus on supporting the side where we look to have two players in that mould in Coventry & Taylor who whilst not the same as George, might even offer something he lacked (which according to some posters is nothing 🤪)3 -
Just received this from my Reading mate. We were arranging to meet up for the away match:sam3110 said:Reading being better backed than us without signing a single player and having a few leave is absolutely crazy and just shows how the betting doesn't always follow reality
‘That’s IF we have a club. Still under all kinds of embargoes and the sale is still not sorted. Women’s team now defunct through the owner not funding it.’0 - Sponsored links:

The opening betting market is set by the bookies as you know I’m sure. Betting then has an effect on the opening odds. It’s possible that hardly any one has bet on Reading, so their odds might drift. A couple more good signings and the 5/1 on us might look like decent value.TheFXguy said:Surprising to see Reading backed above us given their troubles…..0 -
Marcus Browne a free agent weve been linked with in the past - and we know that NJ likes a winger !0

We are 9th favourites at 5/1 on Paddy Power.thenewbie said:
You have the three relegated teams who will be heavy favourites for promotion, the likes of Rotherham and (hopefully) ourselves who have backed successful coaches heavily in the summer and then there's the odd "surprise package" team who come out of nowhere.CAFCDAZ said:i actually think this year's League one is going to be the most competitive yet, so for us a solid start and consistency from the off is an absolute must. It's hard to call the top 10 let alone top 6 imo this year
It's going to be very tight at both ends this year I think. We've done well so far with recruitment but there can't be any resting on laurels, anyone else we bring in will need to be of equal quality to what we've done so far.Last week we were at 6/1, so there has been money bet on us.Above us are:
Birmingham 5/6
Huddersfield 13/5
Bolton 13/5
Rotherham 7/2
Wrexham 7/2
Peterborough 4/1
Reading 9/2
Barnsley 9/20 -
Now we know Teddy Bishop is in Slovenia (means we are probably giving him a proper trial) I did some snooping around on Lincolns forums

I'll post two of the highlighted comments below, but it sounds like he wasn't available all too often and has serious injury issues.
Despite what I said about the good Dr earlier, with having a few players dealing with injuries and fitness atm, I don't think we can afford to sign players who can't play a full 90.

One would imagine given the talk of Dr.Will and Jones having a small but available squad, our days of taking risks of long term recurring injuries are behind. Perhaps that's why he's a trialist and not been immediately offered a deal? Can get a full understanding of his medical issues and whether we think we can help/balance it

Thought this was interesting on that site that they think Charlton have been spending money like confetti.

We’ve been more active than most teams other than maybe Burton. Probably up there for money spent as well but then we’ve also received a decent chunk for MayYann897 said:Thought this was interesting on that site that they think Charlton have been spending money like confetti.0 -
@Yann897
All for yourself to see on the link of course, but apparently a lot of those appearances are as a sub and he gets subbed off a lot. Had similar issues at Ipswich as well.
When we got Mitchell, their fans seemed gutted, and said we have acquired a right player. It's obvious Jensen leaving them will receive the same comments. Not many seem really bothered by Bishop leaving from what I can see, and that concerns me. Lincoln are a modest bunch, and would know what a decent player looks like being fairly competitive in this league.
I don't feel optimistic at all about Bishop. He sounds like an average league 1 player and we really are gonna need top players to compete next season.
Added a spoiler to the images..

Bishop played 33 times last season, 21 were starts and he averaged 58 minutes per appearance.
22/23: 24 apps, 19 starts, 61 mins per app
21/22: 36 apps, 28 starts, 67 mins per app
20/21: 36 apps, 28 starts, 65 mins per app
He’d be fine as a squad player behind Berry, Docherty, Coventry who I fully expect to be the first choice three.
I reckon he’s an upgrade on Bakinson, Fraser, Louie Watson who all made 20-30 appearances for us last season.15 -
I don’t think he’s what we are missing from that midfield group though. I think the final midfielder needs to be more of a physical presence. That Pratley type that you sometimes need in certain types of games and to see out wins.Callumcafc said:Bishop played 33 times last season, 21 were starts and he averaged 58 minutes per appearance.

If they think Bishop is an injury waiting to happen with that record, they should try Chuks for a season or two...🤦♂️5

Think we can trust NJ and the current medical team to make the right call. Who knows, they may be looking for a midfielder who can excel for 15-20 games with rotation. No idea but they seem to know better than us and probably a Lincoln message board.6

Is that Matt Doherty? Ken Doherty or Pete Doherty?WrightCharlie said:
I think in his intro video, Doherty says something about being forward thinking and having goals and assists in his game?Valley11 said:I don’t know much about Bishop or Taylor for that matter but neither strikes me as attacking (perhaps I’m wrong).
Add Doc, Coventry and Anderson into the holding midfielder category and it’s really only Berry who seems like the 10.
The transfer business has been great so far but as well as an experienced no1 like Walton I think we need a back up CAM.
Be a good partner for Docherty maybe?0 -
Is he meant to be a "missing piece" though? Or is he envisioned as somebody to bring off the bench to rest one of the main guys? If so his fitness is less of a risk if we don't actually want/need him to play from the start every time.NabySarr said:

Just playing devil's advocate.1
