Annoyingly for me, my closest game (Exeter away) is a Tuesday night again. Annoyingly for others, Blackpool away is also a Tuesday night in October. Six of our first 10 games will be at home, with away games against Burton & Carlisle also in there. There’s a few tough games but it looks like a really good opportunity to hit the ground running and establish ourselves from the start. really think we can start the first 10 with 7+ wins and from there hopefully ride the momentum as we get better and better jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foreveram Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Exeter away Tuesday night in February and Fleetwood away in January is disappointing. Hotel booked for weekend in Carlisle. Burton away will just be a continuation of our preseason, visiting small local grounds😉 angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously that might change based on our signings, other teams’ signings, form etc. For example, right now looking at Wigan, the fact they were in the Championship last season means very little. They’re in trouble again, points deduction and players leaving. Right now I look at them at home and think that anything less than 3 points is a bad result. Under their new ownership they may recruit well and all of a sudden, who knows? In our first 10 games, Oxford and Portsmouth look the toughest at home but we have to win games like that if we want to finish in the top 2. Fleetwood beat us at home last season, so on paper we win that but in reality it’s different. JakeDCFC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah exactly, as of now with what we assume wigan will be like it should be a game where we expect to leave with 3 points. So many things still up in the air of course as u mentioned, but I seriously expect us to be the team to beat and I hope I'm right. Obviously slip ups happen in a season, we won't go 46-0-0, wouldn't that be nice 🤔 haha, but I'm hoping we can get wins with against the tougher opponents early on to set the tone and hopefully develop some space between us and some of the other promotion rivals.

So often we seem to be playing catchup and we need a burst of title winning form to get back in the mix. jimtastic56 and JakeDCFC 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angieram Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 I'd only got three new grounds to go to next season, and one of them is on the day of a wedding that I have to attend. 🤦♀️ Whereas Bristol bloody Rovers is on my birthday weekend! Think I'll book a mini-break in Europe. Disappointed that Exeter, Blackpool are midweek fixtures, too. So, good news for everyone else - there will be extra away tickets for some of those games this year. Ilkestonian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angieram Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 On the other hand, it's a cracking start to the season. I think that Warne will have us fit and in top gear from week one. Blondest Goat, RoyMac5 and CBX1985 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Git Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Blackpool away is the only midweek game I can get to (all season) and see a full 90 minutes without having to drive. 🍺 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This remains the most tedious game that I've ever witnessed. We were already champions and they were already relegated. It was a hot day and all 22 players had downed tools for the season. Absolutely nothing happed for 90 minutes. angieram, Mucker1884, JJs dms and 1 other 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyBritishMidland Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Decent start, particularly with so many home games in the first 10. Away ones are a bit tricky. Burton finished well and are always up for the game against us. Peterborough and Bolton won’t be easy but it’ll be interesting to see if Bolton can repeat last season.

I am fully aware of the match stats, and even recall the adult comments around me at the time, pretty much reflecting those reiterated above! ...But I was 12 and a quarter. It was my first ever game, and I was utterly excited. In truth, the main reason I continued to attend was because for some inexplicable reason, I thought we'd be eternally referred to as the best team in the land, and that we'd end every game with a lap of honour and a nice big shiny trophy! 🤣 #whatatwonk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than it revolving around Collins that's for sure. I find this very strange, if you get a good striker into the club and then refuse to play to his strengths, why would you do that?
