A very tough first 6 games Time to see if Pearson can mound some battlers and winners during pre-season. James is a good signing, get King, Douglas and the lad from Oxford in as well as a new striker and we will be ok.
FIRST 10 ARE HARD that's when we will see where we are at ……. potentially 4 different runs of hard [ on paper ] games, involves 21 match's …… take 21 pts from these and 42 from the remainder and season total is 63 a good start? or a poor start? I would like to see 70 pts on the board.
I hope it's a season of building confidence in a new look squad and playing attractive football, but the first 10 games are all tough and for different reasons. Blackpool often upset the odds down here against us. I remember in the late 80's early 90's us playing them at home very early in the season, maybe even the opening game, them having 2 players sent off and us still losing 0-1 !
We always seem to play Blackpool first game (when we are in the same league of course) - I remember attending a 'smash and grab' at Bloomfield Road in the pouring rain, when Brooker scored against the run of play - and we should have had our keeper sent off (Gerken??) for making a 'save' outside the box - he only got a yellow!! All the city fans were along one side of the pitch getting totally soaked. I think it was 2008.
So would I, but can’t see it myself realistically.[/QUOTE] For punishment, he will explain where the 70 points come from
With the Carabao Cup and League games, we have 5 games in 13 days right from the off this season. That is tough before you even consider the opposition.
