THE FIXTURE LIST - dodgy spells.

[accadacca 0]

DECEMBER is an absolute bar steward - even WBA away is a tough one as that is one they will target for a win. Birmingham away is a tough one as well and a depressing ground to go to at the best of times - but in the bleak mid winter - oh dear !! And forget about points v Liverpool, Man City and Spuds.

 

AUGUST is a tough month as well. Would not be surprised to see 2 or less obtained from those 3 games.

 

SEPTEMBER and OCTOBER have got to be where points are gleaned - Blackpool h, Stoke h, Mackems h, Wigan h but forget about the away trips to Everton, City and WHU.

 

NOVEMBER looks ok but BSA will be determined to get at least a point esp with the stick he'll get. Fulham are a tough unit to crack away from home too even tho they didnt win many last season.

 

JANUARY and FEBRUARY look quite tough but WHU and BOLTON at home have GOT to yield points.

 

MARCH/APRIL is a tw&t as well with away trips to STOKE, VILLA, BLACKPOOL and LIVERPOOL and home games against EVERTON and MAN UTD Even the Wolves home game is no guarantee of a win.

 

IF in the mire come May, at least there will be 2 home bankers v Birmingham {who will have nowt to play for} and WBA who will already be relegated.

So how many points do you think we'll get?

The entire season is going to be dodgy. Not one game, never mind one month that I'll be taking a win for granted in.

 

I reckon we'll stay up up with that said but I don't think we'll reach a somewhat comfortable position in the table till near (if not at) the end of the season.

 

There will be no easy spells for us - even the worst teams we'll give us a good game, I imagine. We're lower-mid table quality at best and I doubt we'll bring in anyone between now and the end of the window to improve things much.

 

Home form will be absolutely essential. I've always felt we're a bit... constrained, on the road under Hughton.

 

Good thing about our squad is that just all of them have a lot to prove. S Taylor and Harper included. Even a formerly established Prem fixture like Nolan know that his performances when he came to the club during our relegation season were nowhere near good enough. I'm hoping a couple of them stand out too - particularly Enrique and Gutierrez who were pretty hit and miss last time around, especially Jonas who never lived up to his early promise in this league.
