9 points from 12 a reasonable achievement - should beat Ipswich (not taking for granted though), Blackpool could be in turmoil if Appleton goes to Blackburn, Leeds always tough but might have an eye on the cup as could Huddersfield although they are falling away a bit in the league. 3 aways but all long trips. Not a great season for travel to away games without Reading, Pompey, Coventry, Southampton, QPR etc. Could be a few more trips to London next season though and to some big grounds up north where we haven't been for many years.
Dare I say it but I really believe 12 points is achievable, Ipswich have been a bit of the bogey side in recent years but I think we have to much for them at home. Leeds, another tough game so perhaps a point there. Huddersfield and Blackpool should see a return of 6 points although Blackpool appear to draw a lot of games since Appleton has taken charge. Okay talking myself out of the achievable 12 points, more likely a return of 8 points.... Ipswich 3 points Blackpool 1 point Leeds 1 point Huddersfield 3 points
