    I would be absolutely ecstatic with 7 points from the first 4 games. That would be amazing. Even a point on the opening day against West Ham I would say is a good result.

    There isn’t any easy games. Even a wolves at home isn’t a banker, all the established 17 have quality throughout and we know there’s a gap to Leeds off last season. Burnley is easiest team on paper but they finished 24 points ahead.

    If we are to stay up we’re going to have to pick up points against the likes of wolves, West Ham, Brentford etc. The fixtures have gave us as good chance as we could get to get some points on the board early. We’ll still be underdogs in all of these games but to stay up well have to take the chance we’ve been given leading up to November time.

    If we’d been given say 6 of our first 8 against top half sides we could be a cut a drift straight away. It’s on us now if we don’t make the most of that start, got to be ready to go from the off. Funny thing momentum if we can get it going.

    More that we have a handful of the games we’d be targeting points in early.

    It’s usually a week or so before the season starts

    I think it's quite lazy, but fair enough they don't get paid more for caring about the championship.

    Easier to judge when the transfer window shuts. Current squads I’d have us struggling for 20 points.

    We came 4th in the championship and not the top two, and have sold our best player, so I think it’s entirely reasonable for everyone to think we will finish bottom 3.

    I wouldn’t have it any other way.

    seeing we were the third best of the three promoted sides they may well have watched us in the championship and come to this conclusion.

    I can pretty safely say they didn't, but yeah appreciate that point that the league table might suggest that.

    Saw the same people struggling to name 3 of our players.
