Against the odds?

[wally4pm]

I see that Southend are 5-1 to beat Hull and 2,500-1 to win the FA Cup outright.

Whilst winning the FA Cup is not going to happen, I think the odds of beating Hull are good value bearing in mind our current form and the likelihood that they will rest or be without certain players and will no doubt be playing squad players rather than the first team.

So at 5-1 worth a flutter to pay for your celebratory drinks?

I like a bet and 5/1 in a 2 horse race is not bad.Hull will be strong favourites of course but with retaining premiership status their main aim and probably many team changes and with us in great form anything could happen.

Don't forget a draw before parting with your hard earned!

A draw will do us just fine .......... good point (get it, pun? Except it's a cup game :facepalm:...........)

Or they might play there 1st team, trying there only avenue into euro football, just a thought.

I don't see 5/1 to win as generous at all...Sevens or eights I reckon

They didnt in the last round so unlikely to do so this time.

Even if they did see it as a route into European football they would still have to beat one of the top 4 to do so, cant imagine them risking their Premiership status by chasing that.

I am not a betting man but will have a £5 on a Blues win.Feel we have a really good chance of getting through :-)

Good price Agent Lomas-although Leonard usually leaves his goals late-not a bad bet though at 16-1.

Very true, he's 6/1 to score anytime and 16/1 to score last. 25/1 to score 2 & 150/1 to score a hat-trick

 

[Ricey]

Eastwood 8/1 to score first! William Hill obviously have done their research on us.

 

[dannypav]

Hull are not far off being dragged into a relegation fight.
They will field a strong team but doubt it will be their first 11.
Huddlestone suspended

[old leigh shrimper]

[Ricey]

I've just got 175/1 with us to win 2-1 with Hurst as first goalscorer.
