Cant think of a worse possible start to the season. I know we've lost on our last 5 visits to Sheff Utd. Cant really see us getting our first opening day win since 2008!
Good start for me as I missed the Sheffield Utd game last year. Time to get a win there. Just sorted my rail tickets. Need to get a match ticket now. Also got Notts Co in August as well. Looking forward to it already!
FFS you can always give a good indication how your season will go if you win/lose your first game, and we never ever beat Sheff Utd..
Last win at Bramall Lane was 3-0 on 16 November 1957! The only other win was in 1910 when we won 4-0.
Norwich got hammered 7-1 on their opening day of the season in league 1 against Colchester. The 1st game of the season is the least important Anyway I thought our start was alright. Sheffield utd a (hardest game of the season so its great to get it out of the way first thing!) Colchester ( should be 3 points) Leyton Orient (telling you now they won't be the same team next season. They'll struggle and will be bottom half!) Rochdale ( see how they get on in their first 3 games, could be riding high on confidence or struggling in a new league) Notts C ( I mean come on.... shouldn't say it but this will be one our easiest games of the season ffs!) Have some positivity for **** sake! We're in for a good season! COYR
If we did beat them it would give us a real kick to the start of the season and it can't possibly be as bad a match as the games last season against them - can it ? Maybe its because our last five seasons have started in such a ghastly fashion that we half expect to be bottom by October - well fear not, dear red friends !
Sheffield United vs Bristol City will be live on sky at 12:15. We will kick the football season off..... Great our first loss of the season will be televised
Not the fixture any of us wanted, but it will probably be the toughest away game of the season, so getting it out of the way on day 1 is good in some respects. Just hope it's not a hammering on national TV !! The last time we got anything there (I reckon) was when we drew 1-1 in the Playoffs (Carl Shutt header) after beating them 1-0 at the Gate (Alan Walsh scored) and that relegated them from the Championship whereas we went on to lose to Walsall or Brentford in the L1 final I believe. They were odd playoffs !
If anyone wants the fixtures on a word document, send me your email by private message and I will send it over too you.
