NcnsBcfc Posted June 24, 2021 Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 Tough season all round i think. Peterborough, Hull and Blackpool will be competitive (Yates first game of the season). West Brom, Fulham, Sheff Utd still kept the nucleus of their squads together. Happy with lower mid table at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackpool at home has no real significance and Boro away is a bit of a pig to do. Luton away on Boxing Day? Well a home fixture would be better, but even if we were away, you know there are plenty of better away days. I know we have to play every team and my season tickets are ready to go. But if I said to you pick your first home/away game and Boxing Day game, these three are in your top 10? They'd definitely be in my top 23....

Happy with lower mid table at this point. I'm reluctant to use the word "happy" with lower mid table - but I agree that's fairly realistic. I'd hope that with a competent medical department, NP in charge, and the squad available to us (now including Dasilva, Williams, Weimann, + new signings) we shouldn't really be too involved in any kind of relegation battle. I think my "happiness" with the season will be largely dependent upon the foundations we set and our apparent future trajectory. Do we have a good work ethic? Do we play as a team with cohesion and a clear system? Do we do the basics well defensively and offensively? Do our younger players develop well? etc. If the answer to the above questions is yes, then I'll be fairly happy with mid table. However, if the answer is no and we finish lower mid table whilst showing exactly the same flaws as we have in the last 18 months, then I won't be happy at all - it'll feel much less like progress and much more like simply delaying the inevitable.

Happy with lower mid table at this point. Totally. Though I know this isn’t a popular view but do think the supporters of the promoted sides are in for a shock, seen one Blackpool fan saying we are “disappointing” first opponents. Usually 2 of the 3 go down again & I do think they will all struggle, but maybe not go down. Of the sides nearer the top, some odd stuff going on at Fulham with Parker expected to leave, West Brom taking for ever to appoint a manager (sound familiar?) & Bournemouth apparently where Parker is headed. It’s always tough, we were rubbish last season & despite the clearout have little room to manoeuvre under FFP, 14th looks great from here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Isewater Posted June 24, 2021 Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 1 hour ago, BCFCGav said: We start against newly promoted teams bizarrely often it feels like. It’s good though. Newly promoted teams can be a pain in the Arsenal to play against. They are full of confidence having been used to winning in the division below and often play out of their skins before tailing off when they’re burnt out . I would prefer to play them later on . Conversely I would take a relegated side which gives us a good chance of winning against a side with doubts and used to losing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted June 24, 2021 Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 Winnable game, although Blackpool will have some momentum. They've reformed a bit post Oyston's combined with promotion. Yates (if he stays) an obvious dangerman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads of people still moving to their seats. What a way to bring us back to reality. Seal scored some great goals during that Purple patch. I remember this being about 25 yards out, and arrowed onto the top left corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
