The only possibility will be home fans , wouldn’t surprise me if away fans were banned from all games this season I think so too. Several teams have asked fans of their social bubble details so they can arrange seating of fans when allowed. I don’t think away fans will be allowed in as no doubt clubs will be using all the space available to seat home fans. Unless things substantially change I don’t think it will be possible to travel away, sadly. Yes Fixture Day is usually great. I’m either at Glastonbury or just arriving there and frantically looking at my phone and then booking time off work to go away. This year it just feels meh.

BCFCGav Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 Are we doing Robins TV for this coming season? I still can't see anything about it and we have a game in 15 days (albeit cup). Surely Season Ticket holders have to be given some means of watching?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A nice run in for us though (except for the last game). edit - it’s not an ideal start for DH. Cov have momentum, Stoke and weds are much improved. Forest is never easy. Barnsley away will be attritional. Could see us start with 5 straight losses Barnsley arguably matched if not bettered us twice last season in a lot of respects) result aside). Nottingham Forest were the more attritional side, but Barnsley are reasonably attacking and can keep some decent possession under Struber. That said we took 4 points off Barnsley but only one from Nottingham Forest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBC site says our November weekend fixtures are: 7th, 21st and 28th. Also which missing Stoke fixture? Not looked through the whole list yet though. According to BBC, we're away to Stoke 19th September 2020 and at home on 2nd April 2021. Obviously this all subject to change for the usual reasons but at this stage we have the basics.

Mr Popodopolous Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 4 hours ago, Silvio Dante said: This is where the need for a bigger squad is highlighted (and why I don’t think any of the 5 CMs will go). October we have 5 games in 14 days December there are 9 games in 28 days (assume we’re not still in league cup) Feb seven games in 28 days (8 if we’re in the FA Cup) This season is survival of the fittest. It'll be both a sprint and yet a slog at the same time! Depth could be key. Wouldn't hurt us too much if we exited the Cups fairly early. I suppose also the risk/reward element. Winning is a habit- hit a good run with games coming so thick and fast, that can really carry a squad forward. Of course the flipside this could be pretty dire if you lose a couple playing badly during such a busy spell as say December but some other months too!

maxjak Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 Great fixtures..............Walsh to score the winner, in the first home game, Stoke first away game, who are my dark horses for top 6, and the Championship title decider for our last game of the season.

A mate of mine is a Swindon fan and he said although it was a friendly, Coventry did not look like a Championship side and pretty toothless up front. Swindon won 2-1. A lot can change though.

Interesting, I like E361 but I've never really thought that this difficulty matrix is his best work - mainly because it feeds off the bookies' stuff, and that he's at his strongest when dismantling their predictions. I think we've all been fans of this division long enough to know it's unlikely that the three clubs coming down from the Prem will be 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, Brentford should still be strong but I'd be surprised if they took the title. The teams from 5th - 20th could honestly be in any order and it would look possible. Plus we've got some potential points deductions mixing things up, as well as the spectre of possible delays due to teams having to isolate at the drop of a hat (just look at how the Scottish leagues have started off).

Yeah Sheffield Wed throw a spanner in all that as they're definitely not the 3rd weakest team so that distorts it. Also we have a few of the unfavoured teams in our run in who if goes as speculated here will have things to play for come April and then potentially be harder than mid table teams etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But below is the one for 2018/19. Bookies got the bottom 3 correct but not in the right order. The top half is pretty different. Norwich and Sheff Utd took the autos of course, bookies had both solidly mid-table. Leeds did get a play-off spot but the others that the bookies went for had to settle for a top-half finish. We managed to luck out and over-perform the bookies' prediction by 5 places. Stoke were predicted to romp to the title and of course finished way down in 16th.

Still Coventry won’t have Walsh ! Will he play do you reckon? Will he even be on the bench?
