Just out of curiosity I had a look at the December fixtures and although we have a fairly tough month in December, Burnley and Leicester have some equally difficult games as listed below: Leicester Burnley 3rd - Sheffield Wed (A) Watford (A) 7th - Brighton (H) Barnsley (H) 14th - Burnley (H) Leicester (A) 21st - QPR (A) Blackpool (H) 26th - Reading (H) Middlesboro (A) 29th - Bolton (H) Wigan (A) Not that many easy games for either side and they would probably be happy to take 12 points from those 6 games.... Thoughts?
Tough fixtures all round eh? We will have a great idea as to how likely we are to win this league by 6pm New Year's Day!
I must say, with the hard games we have coming up in December, seeing that list for our nearest rivals makes me feel a bit easier. Thanks Tramore
With Leicester playing Burnley then us consecutive Saturdays it could be that some space opens up between the teams. I fancy us to win next 3 but it's going to be tough after that.
I'd be happy with 3 wins, 2 draws and one defeat in December and 11 points. It would be important though that the defeat isn't against Leicester. We always struggle away against Forest and expect us to this time too. Imo the Leicester game carries as much significance as the Cardiff game at LR in our promotion season, that result might define the season for both sides just like it did for us and Cardiff.
it was a joke col, look at the way tramore has it written. it looks like it says h and a, never mind..
All the other's that we are playing will be thinking they have tough fixtures too. I am hoping December is the month we show the rest of the division how good we are.
I thinkits a good month for us. We just keep doing what we are doing & come out the other side with 4 x 1-nil wins.... Wonder if Flyer will be complaining then ?!!
