The only way is S6 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Don't forget, 3 international breaks before Christmas, in Sept, Oct & Nov. Could either favour us with recovering injuries, or hinder us if we're on a roll. Like the look of the 6 matches in August. Straight in at the deep end so sink or swim for the 'new look' team. UTO.

Sova Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 If our home game v Derby isn't moved, it'll be our first home leap year's day fixture in more than 50 years, since we beat Chelsea 3-2 in 1964. Our only leap year's day fixture since then was our 3-0 win at Chelsea in 1992. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plonk Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Don’t like the two promoted teams for our first home games. They tend to start strong so perhaps not as easy a start as we think. Weekend in Blackpool for pne in August is nice though and a nice London trip to Fulham early on is nice. Glad no pigs to play this year though I’d rather it was because they had gone down.

Pablo Bonvin Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Well, that's the fixtures sorted. Off to Morrison's now to get in the queue to watch the Caramac Cup draw. Now, where is my shopping list? Might as well get that done while I'm at it. Ffs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planning to come up for Barnsley, but dont want to book hotel etc if it's going to be moved.

ZicoSterland2 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Run in from last game in February to Boro in May very hard. Hardly a certain 3 pointer being optimistic anywhere. Best get off to a good start and break the sequence of being off the pace by end of September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This coming season the run in is decidely tough so we need to hit the ground running. If you dont agree fine. The season is over 46 games but you have to take the points from game 1 to challenge.

dorian gray Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 1 hour ago, Bluesteel said: Could be a season defining final month if we are up there. Like a month long set of play offs. Opportunity to get off to a decent start but I’d rather play the new boys later on. Dingles at home a banana skin in August. But looking at the fixtures there are no stand out dominant teams to fear. Going to be another open league I think. if we are to 'fill out' our squad with loans, then fot the game against t'dingles we might just be a bit light on star players.

But who knows what tough will be? Nobody would have predicted a top 2 of Norwich and Blunts (who lost their first two btw) last year. Past results have no bearing on future performance. If we're not in the frame come Xmas then I may start to worry, but even then look where Villa came from last season and Fulham the year before. Also look what happened at Swansea and Stoke, two teams that were expected to be tough. Lot's changes over the summer, assessing opposition now is like trying to predict the lottery numbers.

Assuming we're still in the mix, those teams we play in our last 3 might already be promoted, secure in playoffs or in meltdown. Either way, chances are they may not be 100% at it.
