Christmas and New Year Fixtures

[S-Clarke]

Now this game is out of the way and we came away from it with a decent point, we can now focus on the rest of the Christmas period, and a quick look at who the teams around us play as well:

Boxing day games:

Birmingham v WHU

 

M'Boro v Hull

 

Watford v Cardiff

 

Us v Palace

 

 

New Years eve games:

Derby v WHU

 

M'boro v Peterborough

 

Forest v Cardiff

 

us v Bristol (we play the day before, so could open up a game going into Saturdays fixtures)

 

New Years games:

WHU v Coventry

 

Cardiff v Reading

 

Blackpool v M'boro

Brighton v us

 

WHU have got it tough in the next 2, no doubts about that. Boro haven't got the most straight forward games either, same can be said for Cardiff. If we play as we have been at home we'll be fine, and by the new year we could easily have a cushion at the top again.

What's the scoop on Brighton's suspensions? Who, if anyone, will they be missing for our game?

[S-Clarke]

They will be without Barnes and Vincelot for sure.

 

Not 100% sure on their other situations, but they are also missing players through injury - notably Will Hoskins, Vincente.....it will be a tough game, but I think we can give them a game there.

[Saint Charlie]

Brighton have Greer, Dunk, Bridcutt and Noone who are a booking away from a one match ban.

How come we play Bristol City on the 30th? It's not on TV is it?

Nope, a police request afaik.

[Toomer]

I would be happy with 7 points out of the next three games but we have to go for 9.

Brighton have Greer, Dunk, Bridcutt and Noone who are a booking away from a one match ban.

The Football League site also has Painter, LuaLua and Taricco on 4 bookings as well.
