boro-unger 3,870 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Not an ideal first game. The promoted teams always seem to play a blinder in their first game, where the relegated teams seem to struggle. Hey ho, we're still going to smash the league! Link to post Share on other sites

I think Boro-unger was saying he would rather have played one of the relegated teams from PL as opposed to one of the promoted teams from League 1 as a first game. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

But the promoted teams rarely win the opening games. They are slightly better than the relegated teams though over the last 5 seasons. Relegated teams have won 3 opening games in the last 5 seasons while promoted teams have 4 wins. I'd say an opening day game against either a promoted or relegated team is a good chance for a win. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
BillyWoofs_shinpad 1,884 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 A win or a draw and we’ll be in the promotion spots, lose and we’ll be bottom of the table and those Woodgate critics will be having a field day. ? 2 Link to post Share on other sites

First 6: Luton, Brentford, Rovers, Wigan, Millwall & Bristol. Looking at the last 6. Obviously you don't know how teams will fare but from that. 3 look tricky and 3 look ok so could be worse. Last 6: qpr, millwall, bristol, reading, cardiff & sheff wed You would think so and I agree but one thing last season taught me a real lesson and that is to expect the unexpected. Who seriously would have imagined us losing 6 on the spin and playing Brentford and Wigan (solitary point in a seven game run) so early doors amplifies my first comment. At this time seeing as none of us know really what to expect from a "Woody" team so all we can hope for is that we try to make a fist of it. However as it is going to be interesting to see how things pan out I for one am looking forward to the new season 1 Link to post Share on other sites
