First 6 Fixtures - Points?

Fri Jul 20, 2018 2:40 pm

With the new season only 3 weeks away home do you see the first 6 games going?

Bournemouth A Draw
Newcastle H Draw
Huddersfield A Draw
Arsenal H Draw
Chelsea A Lose
Man City H Lose

4 points out of a possible 18.

Anywhere from 3 to 6 points

Probs sounds optimistic but I recon 10 out of 18 the better the start the better we will hopefully beat the first 3 and snatch a draw from the tops teams.

I think between 2 and 4 points.

Re: First 6 Fixtures - Points?

At least 7 for me

I'm sat here and I want be positive but I'm struggling to be honest, when it comes down to it I just don't think our Squad is anywhere close to good enough and apart from Josh Murphy the signings we have made completely underwhelm me.

This is a whole different ball game now, going to hold off answering this until our squad is finalised, 2-3 more quality signings could sway my opinion.

5 points 1 win 2 draws

I can see a win there somewhere. I’m going for 4 points total. If we get more that’ll be a good start even though we maybe in the bottom 3.

Is the same as last season too much to expect?

4 points from the first 6 games won't be a good start mate, its relegation form and means we will be playing catch up after 6.

We need 6/7 point's minimum, whether we get them or not is another matter.

10. Easy 10 :lol:

Re: First 6 Fixtures - Points?

7 from the first 3 followed by 3 losses

I didn’t say 4 points would be good, I said more than that would be lol but no seriously I’m just trying to be realistic and can see 4 points but hope for more. We have got some tough teams there so may pick up some points after we’ve played them.

Re: First 6 Fixtures - Points?

Fri Jul 20, 2018 6:31 pm

Bournemouth A Lose
Newcastle H Draw
Huddersfield A Draw
Arsenal H Lose
Chelsea A Lose
Man City H Lose

Hopefully, we can get wins against Newcastle and Huddersfield.

You are of course correct, my bad, I miss-read your post :thumbup:

It’s funny how your ignore quite a few other fans who have the same number of points. It’s not a case of being negative it’s a case of being realistic as we play 3 of the top sides in those 6 fixtures. Everyone is entitled to an opinion without being criticised. You clearly haven’t got a clue about football & I suppose in your eyes we will finish in the top 4 this season.

I reckon 6 or 7 Man city and Chelsea probably 2 defeats Bournemouth are decent but hopefully we'll nick a point. Got be targeting Newcastle at home as a game we win, tough to say what Huddersfield will be like this season, but struggled for goals last year maybe a 1-0 win. Arsenal were awful away last year but could be completely different under Emery

Totally agree anything less than 19pts and Warnock should go :old: :old:

I stand by my view we’re going to surprise a lot of teams with the raw pace and aggressive direct style. Teams like the toon don’t like it up them.

So it’s 18 points no problem. Including 2 hat tricks from Etheridge.

Great to see some positivity here :old: :ayatollah: unlike our 'one foot in the grave' old geezer from Bridgend. An Abertawe Town fan in disguise perhaps?? :?

Re: First 6 Fixtures - Points?

Sat Jul 21, 2018 6:57 am

More than happy with 6 Pts from those games..and I fully expect us to scrap and battle to 40 pts over the season

I am absolutely confident we will stay up (just)

Every one man and his dog expects us to be relegated which will work in our favour because the pressure if off from day one

I have nothing to back it up but I always feel the clubs who go up generally have a good start being the unknown to others teams.

Same for teams who go down, seem to generally struggle in the first game.
