I'm most excited for Roberts next season

We are favourites to go down, like we are every year. Keep all our players and we will finish mid table comfortably.
Bookies don't know everything.

Sheff United and Norwich weren't tipped to go up last season at all, and the 2 teams that were didnt even get in the playoffs. Before that, bookies didn't predict, Hudds, Cardiff, Fulham, Brighton, Bournemouth. We have a bottle job mentality, 23 teams that raise there game against us and anti Leeds officials, we shouldn't be favourites and the price is far too small for us imo.

Hoping Shackleton gets much more playing time.
One of the mistakes by Bielsa not playing him enough.
Also more youth I hope and less Berardi etc

As for being favourites it’s nonsense with no money

I never take a blind bit of notice of odds in relation to us. Same as pre match predictions.

Be very much surprised if Edmondson plays much next season, I expect he will go out on loan somewhere but if he's playing it will be a sign that something has gone wrong, big step up and fourth (or even fifth) in the pecking order - Roofe, Bamford, Roberts (Wilks). Will only play if we lose others to transfer and/or injury. Still very young, one for the future.

Clarke will have to be back to his Derby level, second half of the season, Clarke wasn't good enough. Really hope that was a blip.

Shacks, Bogusz, Gotts, McCalmont, Davis and Nicell look bright talents for the future. Expect all six to feature at some point.

Think Wilkes could be an exciting prospect for next season. Apparently Grot is going to feature in pre season, hopefully he conjures up a miracle and makes the grade.

Thinking Grot and Wilks may be battling it out for the same place in the squad.

and Edmondson Lubo?

Stability on the coaching front is a big plus. Who will be in the squad is more of a concern. If we lose the wrong players and recruit as poorly as we have in recent seasons then being favourites will not mean much

Wilks and Grot have been playing wing a lot this season. Think they'd be playing there.

Both can play both up front and on the wing, if Grot has improved but we are still looking for wingers, as reported, it confuses things a lot.

I think both would be used out wide. Playing on the right is where Wilks has been so effective for Donny this season.

Like the look of Wilks and hope he gets a chance

I too like the look of Wilks and to be fair don't really think Grot got a fair chance the season before last.
You can almost see what Radz was going on about when he said we would be concentrating on the loan market and the talent already at the club.

I watched Donny in the play-offs and thought Wilks was pretty good when he was on the ball. He provided the assist for the equaliser in the second game and looked a handful for the defence. He's nowhere near the finished product, but if Bielsa works his magic, I can see him becoming as important to us next season as Roberts is now.

It's a huge pre season for Wilkes.a real chance to muscle his way into Bielsa's plans. The lad clearly has some ability but we might see how much he wants it now.

I’d imagine we’d naturally have good odds, coupled with loads of people putting cash on us would be much more likely to be the reason

not sure the bookies offer much insight to be fair.. we're likely favorites because Leeds fans slap a load of money on us

bookies just play the numbers, they're model is maths, nothing more

...and they did have us in the running for relegation last season.

They actually had us to scrape into the top 6. I remember thinking the odds on skybet on us to miss out on the top 6 were worth taking based on our pre season performances and lack of change in the squad.

Spanish, bookies odds compilers need to be excellent otherwise they would go bankrupt.
Of course they get things wrong with their initial process and will get hammered.
Fortunately for them they have many mug punters.
Based on some of the comments on here it could be them, SKB is the exception.
