If we're 'lowly' how do they describe the 13 team below us?

To take another view of it, as I've said previously in this forum, we don't need the respect of anyone else and all the time they think of us as 'lowly' or 'a team we should be beating' it's likely that they'll be complacent and come unstuck.

Another thing which annoys me is in the NLP which gives either relegation or promotion odds for the teams in the match reports. We are now out to 4-1 by the way!

How come Oxford (for example -though there are a few more) keep being given Promotion odds when they're quite a few points behind us?

Think it's a case of 'lowly' Alty will always be like that in some people's eyes.

They're going to be pretty sick if we keep this form going until Christmas! (at least)  ;)
