Come on Wednesday!!!! You're right. We know " there are no easy games" (!), but that's as good a start as we could have hoped for and now we've got Bury at home in the L Cup. 5 games in 17 days that, even to a pessimist like me, all look winnable. 10 points (or dare I say it, 12) and through to the next round would be a brilliant start for a change and really build some confidence. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every game is equally as winnable as losable, we were only stoppage time equalisers away from wins at Norwich and West Brom last season, but needed a late equaliser against a throw Rotherham side and barely scraped past Bolton at Hillsborough.

I hadn't looked that far ahead in season, Luton isn't bad, only a couple of hours drive. We set off at 3 o'clock for cup replay last season and were there in plenty of time even with peak time traffic that can cause delays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is, I'd rather have these fixtures than, say, Fulham, Leeds, Cardiff, WBA and Middlesboro away in the Cup. They can come later when we've built momentum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, I'm just a bit concerned and baffled how some people think we can go through August unbeaten, the point being it's a new season, clubs have new players so last seasons performances are irrelevant.

21/4/91 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Lots of "there - or thereabouts" (Bruce's favourite line) teams: Forest, Stoke, Cardiff, QPR, Derby, Swansea, Huddersfield, Fulham, West Brom, Boro etc etc etc. None of them are that powerful though are they? Have any of that lot done a Wolves? (ie: bought some real quality). (And we know how fragile Leeds are, don't we? Always have been, in my lifetime). Like owltilidie, I too am confident, for no reason - whatsoever. Rhodes and Winnall to strike up intuitive understanding, get forty goals between them, Wednesday to storm this league. Or maybe 8th. There - or thereabouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarnsleyOwl96 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Reading away not the best away day but suppose you play everyone away once! Hopefully get a 4k allocation instead of the 2.2k , is it too early to find out the boozers near reading ground lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PEARSON Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I think Barnsley will surprise a few people this season. Like others have said, you never know in this league so we won’t know what games are tough ones until we’re well into the season. That being said on paper you’ve got to be happy with the start. I’d love us to get a good start under our belts, seems like we never do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like going to Preston, call at the Three Stags Heads at Wardlow Mires on the way back. Great pub, like stepping back in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon that above all the commentary on the build up, scoring and replays of Reach's goal was the best ever...classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue and white Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Couldn't give a monkey's throw about the fixture list, we know which teams are in our league, we know we have to play them twice, let's just get it on and let Captain Steve Bruce guide HMSPTL on the short trip to the promised land.
