Archie Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Impossible to judge what will be easy or hard games at this stage. I reckon we should just give 110% and take each game as it comes and we'll be just fine. l spotted 4 football clichés in that one sentence alone. Excellent work Wolfie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ketteringram Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Local library rulesShhhhhh.Yes. Shocking error by me. I was posting from phone, where I should not even have been using it. No excuses though. I'll get you a pie at the first home game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 For each pair of back-to-back away games, there has to be an equal number of pairs of back-to-back home games with one exception - if you start and end the season with both at home or both away then there will be one more pair or one less pair respectively.If back-to-back away games are tougher, then by the same definition back-to-back home games are easier.Swings and roundabouts in my book.I don't think it works like that Eddie.Last season we never won more than three games on the spin, and I feel a large part of this was because our fourth game came off the back of another away game - such as the Watford - Leeds.In that run, if we had Home - Watford (A) - Home - Leeds (A) we'd be far fresher for the Leeds away game than what we were last season where we'd come off the back of an energy-sapping away game at Watford.Last season we did have six back-to.back home games, but it always made the fourth part of that run harder and as I mentioned earlier, we were one of the only teams to have a ridiculous run of four away games in six - especially at such a crucial stage of the season.I know all the fixtures are the same, but it's easier to recover from away losses or dropped points in a draw with an ensuing home game. Having to play another away again straight after makes it far tougher.Regardless of when the home games are played, all championship teams will be aiming for wins so whether you play just the one match or two, three in succession you'd be going for wins.Last season we started with Rotherham (H), Sheff Wed (A), Charlton (A), Fulham (H), Ipswich (H), Forest (A) and took nine points. If we had gone Rotherham (H), Wed (A), Fulham (H), Charlton (A), Ipswich (H), Forest (A) I reckon we would have been far fresher and more confident heading in to that Charlton (A).Not only did we have back-to-back away games, but often in the space of three or four days. That IMO is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Bristol for the seaside????its a good city, but I doubt the locals would be recommending a paddle around on the Avon mudflats.Mind, I'm pee'd off Brizzle is on a Tuesday as it might be a stretch too far to get from London and then back to South Hants. Haven't been to Ashton Gate since the '90's.....Obviously not Brizzle itself. Clevedon? Weston?Boro is a good seaside one as it's got Whitby et al on it's doorstep.

We will shack up at Watford for the Charlton game, then on the Sunday nip along the M4 to Keynsham (where my son is moving to from Hotwells next month), then we'll spend a couple of days chez the lad, take in the match and head home on the Wednesday.

DerbyGoals Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Can imagine this being an unpopular opinion, but I would love to play Forest on at home on a Tuesday/Friday night.The game where Barker got injured/Buxton last minute winner,atmosphere was immense for what was a poor game until Bucko scored.

Weston?Boro is a good seaside one as it's got Whitby et al on it's doorstep.Portishead might be the local place. Dunno really - I rarely make it further than the Whiteladies Road.Very few genuine seaside trips now that we've lost Bournemouth and Blackpool. Brighton about it.

Animal is a Ram Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 just for information I've hidden the post with the full fixture list. Websites need a license to show fixtures in full (even forums). That would be my fault. Apologies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
