Hull (A) W Boro (H) W Sheffield United (A) W Derby (A) W Swansea (H) W Bristol City (A) W What will happen is 3 points from the lot
I’m pretty sure that Still is targeting a win in every game. Surely that’s true of most managers? The reality of course, along with our own predictions, is very different. So the expectation of the manager and club is 18 points hopefully. I can’t remember any manager after a game saying “happy with that, I didn’t expect to win it anyway”
Yeah, in reality we should be looking to win them all but it rarely works like that. I would reasonably expect to win the home games and try and get a win or two or maybe some draws in the away games although Bristol City looks tough and Sheff Utd will want to stop the rot with a new manager. What I predict based on what i've seen from us this season is Hull (A) D Boro (H) D Sheffield United (A) L Derby (A) W Swansea (H) W Bristol City (A) L 8 points I desperately hope i'm wrong and we can see a mode of football that is progressive and good to watch but also effective although that may take time. Already one point down on what was a pessimistic forecast and if we play like that again against Boro then it's not looking good.
Bit hard to distinguish between prediction and expectation really. Win some, lose some I reckon. What do I expect from those games? No idea, sorry. I'm kind of optimistic, except when I'm not. Draw at Hull, beat Boro I expect. Then go from there.

We might be ok as Boro play football. We are just going to get bullied by every team that plays direct.
