TheGunnShow 7,079 Posted June 22, 2023 Could be anything. I'm led to believe Wagner really wants to put fitness work into the lads and with a pre-season that can go two ways. Bomb out of the blocks with a team that's much sharper and fitter (think Bielsa's Leeds) than others, or start slowly (like Farke's teams) as they're still recovering a little/not fully grooved in. I think if we get 4 points from the first two, we could power off to a really good start. But it's a pretty big if. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Shuck 275 Posted June 22, 2023 I've looked at those first five and thought "11 points there". I'll never learn.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,777 Posted June 22, 2023 Who knows but 9 pts from Hull, Huddersfield and Rotheram should be realistic. October looks fairly tasty, could be 0 points out of that lot. Wagner needs a good start and that fixture list looks pretty kind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yellowrider120 885 Posted June 22, 2023 I heard last night that the latest German God has six weeks from the season start to 'make an impression' otherwise yet another managerial change! One might suggest that our appalling run in last season and ZERO goals scored in last FIVE home matches was enough of an 'impression' for him to have been released already! The August fixtures do look reasonably kind for him, though, so the axe may get deferred until October.

GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 2,026 Posted June 22, 2023 Southampton aside, doesnt look a bad opening half dozen fixtures but then maybe I'm overplaying our status given we just finished in the bottom half of the weakest championship in recent memory Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

......and Smith must score. 1,516 Posted June 22, 2023 In theory we ought to be looking for 10 or 11 but as we always have a rubbish start I’ll go low with 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GenerationA47 822 Posted June 22, 2023 (edited) Gonna stick my neck out this season & narrow it down to 0-15*  Will actually go further, and uncharacteristically (for me)  forecast season total : 0-138 pts*  *depending on success of recruitment, coaching and squad morale.

Google Bot 3,706 Posted June 22, 2023 Don't even know the teams or how we'll be playing yet! lol But I'd say Hull will be a draw, cause it's opening day. (+1) Saints - who knows how either of us will look, so play it safe with 1pt there too. (+1) I think out of the opening 5 games, Millwall and Rotherham are the most likely to be 3 pointers. (+6) Huddersfield, again who knows at their place. You'd expect a win though (+3) . So, 11 points. Probably about what you'd expect too(?). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWC 287 Posted June 22, 2023 I suppose the one benefit of us playing so badly last season is that many of our games are unlikely to be picked for Sky, so not subject to last minute amendments! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
