trev Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 As has been said the first 10 games are vital now more than ever. We can't afford a slow start otherwise it becomes insurmountable in the players heads and then we are done for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you would play him in a game that doesn't really matter? If he misses a couple of games but then goes on to be our best defender it's still a bad signing?

He's not playing due to not risking him, he is not fit yet, not in full training so unlikely to be in a position to start when the league kicks off. You said his fitness shouldn't be an issue as it doesn't take long to recover from a broken leg, which he broke 7 months ago. Also, not sure a televised League Cup game against a 4th division side doesn't really matter. Wouldn't be great for confidence if we got beat.

I reckon they've got a Blade on their panel or something. They predicted us to finish 10th last season (we finished 16th) https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/predicted-fourfourtwos-201920-championship-table They predicted us to finish 3rd in 2017/18 (we finished 15th) https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/predicted-how-championship-table-will-finish-201718 They predicted us to finish 4th in 2016/17 This is their predicted table: 1 Newcastle United 2 Derby County -------------- 3 Norwich City 4 Sheffield Wednesday 5 Brighton & Hove Albion 6 Birmingham City --------------- We finished 4th Edited September 4, 2020 by Grandad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking on the bright side, judging by this our season often turns out to be worse than 4-4-2 predict for us, at least that can't happen this time!

Lime Tree Heros Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Given everything going on at the moment with coronavirus, no fans in stadiums, extended transfer window, clubs' finances badly affected etc, etc, I think it's nigh on impossible to predict what will happen in the championship.

OK, just disregard the cup and with the lack of pre-season games this season lets go into the first league game without giving our new players any chance to play together, its not as if we have a greater need than ever to hit the ground running is it........

It probably is more difficult to predict this season but it doesn't stop people, fans, magazines, websites, bookies etc having a stab at it. It isn't hard to see why a team starting the season on minus 12 points, having lost their 3 top goal scorers from the previous season, in which they finished the campaign with 4 wins from 23 games, have been widely predicted to struggle.
