Barnsley to crumple after their good start would be good. I hope PNE get out of it TBH but fear their lack of goals will cost them this season. An ageing Beckford, Doyle who`s hit and miss at best and no Garner now. It depends how much they can spend (not much IMO) or who they can get on loan from local prem clubs between now and Wednesday I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samo II Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 With Rotherham getting smashed this weekend, and us having pulled an excellent result out against a promotion favourite, it will certainty be an interesting game once the international break is over. For me, the next five games will really tell us a lot more about the way the season will pan out; we'll have the players we will have until at least January, as well as just under a couple of weeks settling any new arrivals and getting those out fit. I'd take 7 from the next five; win against Rothetham, lose to Weds, and lose one draw one against Derby and Fulham, then beat Leeds - would give us a more than healthy 16 from ten. Would be good to perhaps get a cup win against Fulham too, but think that might be a bridge too far at this point. Anything more would be ace.

mozo Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Rotherham represents a massive opportunity. They're leaking goals and we've won 5 out of 7 in all comps. Beat them after the break and we find ourselves building some serious momentum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyInWeston Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Estatic that we are currently 6th. I would be happy if we finish at least 12th place TBH, sure good start, but it maintains to be seen if we can hold on to this form, losing only 1-0 to both ex prem teams is fantastic as we could have been stuffed 4/5 nil... I didnt go to the newcastle game, but seeing them be all over brighton on sky sports must mean we have something here, but as it is in the championship, anyone can beat anyone. It makes it very exciting and I'm very much looking forwards to how the season plays out regardless of our position, although like I said, be happy with 12th or higher.

reddevon Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Remember the blocks of 10..... In the play-off season we collected 17 points in each of the first three blocks, then 16 in the next block. Know its early doors but with the great start, the first 17 is well achievable.

Won't say Cardiff will get relegated, but they look poor at the mo and could get drawn into a protracted relegation dogfight. There's lovely.

Yes I heard he did impress, well done to him. To be brutally honest though, are they already preparing for league 1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too sure about their debt levels and if anything is put towards that, but they've made over £20m with the sales of Rhodes, Hanley and Duffy, yet don't seem to be spending much at all.

The Venkys a reminder of what a bad owner can do to your club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wigan looked unlikely relegation candidates from the performance versus us, but that series of late goals conceded rings alarm bells, that I saw from us last season. Burton's home firm, whilst an advantage will get sussed out in time, but I think they'll have enough...just. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
