Tall King Blox Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Given the fixtures we have been landed with for August what do you guys n gals think Is a realistic target for the opening month of the new campaign, and don't give me the old "depends who we recruit in the summer" blarney, just an honest realistic figure of what you think we could or should reach.......I reckon 6 !!!.... One win three draws one loss..... Tin hat on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Can't really call it this early with players still to come in, with current squad 2 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be brave super, shout a three ! IMHO as the squad stands I would say bugger all but it's a funny old game, so I stick with my reckless six point dream...

EnderMB Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 I'm inclined to agree. With the squad as it is, and assuming we'll get one new face in before we get started, I reckon 2 points, maybe 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 You'd have to say we should be aiming to beat all the promoted teams and given the strength of the relegated teams potentially not take anything therefore 6 points after 5 games would not be the worst scenario to find ourselves in only having to play the relegated teams once more.

Tall King Blox Posted June 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 So here we are already fighting for survival after the first month, granted a very tough one...3 points from a possible 15 ain't a good return, glad we're at least being realistic !

Tall King Blox Posted June 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Relegated teams are there for the taking, poor moral with a loosing mentality might be a blessing for us, could be a good thing having them early on until they settle into championship football, on the other hand promoted teams have the winning mentality....Tis a quandary to be sure so six points.....Erk !

JBFC II Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 At the moment 4 is realistic beat Wigan and draw v burton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Add that Swede, Matthews, Tomlin, Canos, Grabban, Fletcher then I will stretch to 6.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle spending £22m this week it looks like, Villa already spending a decent amount and Norwich potentially beating us to Canos and experienced at yo-yo ing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidNoble Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Newly promoted sides are always tricky at the start of the season. And I expect all 3 relegated sides to be strong. Can't call it at the moment as we don't have our final squad but remaining unbeaten would be a terrific start to the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeAman08 Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 I'll say 5. Beat Wigan but draw to Burton. Then a draw and two close losses against the relegated 3. Tough part about playing the relegated teams early is that there may still be some real talented players that have yet to move. It'll be a fun August Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesBCFC Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Depends who we recruit in the summer... I think 7 points, a win against Wigan, and Burton, getting hammered at Norwich, before drawing against Newcastle and losing to Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tall King Blox Posted June 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 So judging on the replies thus far we have an average of around 6 points for August...not bad considering a poor squad so far and the calibre of the opposition for that month........wake me up when September ends........

Wanderingred Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 Wigan (H) W 2-0 Burton (A) W 2-1 Norwich (A) L 0-4 Newcastle (H) D 1-1 Aston Villa (H) W 1-0 10 points! You heard it here first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 I'll answer the question when I have the full squad at my disposal. I feel I am being asked the question with my hands tied behind my back. Otherwise I would be making a completely uneducated guess ................... Uncle TFR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
