SNSUN Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Tougher fixtures to start with please while we finalise the squad by the end of the window, then easier fixtures at the end of the season when we may need points on the board. Brentford at home is my prediction for first fixture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

east-stand-nic Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 We need an east start to get points on the board early. Else we will end up adrift and playing catch up and that never ends well. I would like to see us get teams like Brentford, Forest, Ipswich, Everton perhaps though they are a bit of a bogey team for us. It would be nice if we could have at least 1.5 points per game in the bag after say 5 or 6 games. Then we should have a bit of breathing room on the bottom three nice and early.

FarehamSaintJames Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 First game of the season: Villa away Forest home game of the season: Forest at home Boxing Day: away to Palace New Years Day: away to Fulham Final game of the season: Arsenal at home (The DT disclosure - this is a prediction, not a fact you weasel). 👍🏻 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusic Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Pretty well balanced set of fixtures with no absolute horror runs (on paper). Statistically the 3rd kindest start so need to be picking up points across those first 6 games. Of a quick check of likely bottom third teams wouldnt say anyone has a really bad run in except maybe Bournemouth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts too, couldnt have asked for a much better balanced set of fixtures to be honest, there are no horrendous 6/7 game runs where you think "oh ffs" !!
