The bookies generally know what they’re doing. I don’t want to oversimplify, but I believe the following is a fair argument for calming down. For each game you can see the decimal odds Ladbrokes gave for each outcome (thanks to Football Data for the info.)
Oh look, we’re exactly where they expected us to be.
Sure there are problems, but did anyone honestly expect there not to be? That’s football. If you’re going to lose games (and we are) then you’ll make mistakes, be less than perfect.
I’ll do a full post in the near future looking at some of the perceived issues, but in my opinion we’re almost doing alright. Could be better, of course, but there’s a long way to go.
