First ten games

Mon Aug 07, 2023 7:55 am

After earning a point yesterday, what's your thoughts on points in the bag after ten games?
I think 21 points would be decent.

Sat 12 Aug H Queens Park Rangers Championship 3pm
Sat 19 Aug A Leicester City Championship 3pm
Sat 26 Aug H Sheffield Wednesday Championship 3pm
Sat 2 Sep A Ipswich Town Championship 3pm

21 would be what a promotion chasing side would expect. We won’t be anywhere near, I reckon more like 11 or 12.

21 would be exceptional If we get 14/15 points i would be very happy

16 to 17 would be playoff level, I added up to 18 from my picks.

Anything north of 15 would be ok and we are more than capable of winning all the home games!

Yes 14 or 15 points a decent return from some tough games

Total guess but I would say 12 points after those.

Not being negative but I'm trying to look at the upcoming games with my head and not my heart

We'll be very lucky to get 5 points out of Leeds, QPR and Leicester

5 points out of Sheffield Wed, Ipswich and Swansea

Coventry - 0pts
Sunderland - 1pt
Rotherham - 3pts
Middlesbrough - 0pts

That's me being slightly pessimistic in a way but then look at it this way. We have a new manager, new players, new attitude from owners, new ideas etc
It will take time to implement all these changes so don't be surprised to see it start slowly. Leeds result was fantastic so who knows

21 points as said above would be great. Anything can happen and I'm happy to be proven wrong :bluescarf:

A lot depends on who we bring in.

Bulut said yesterday he expects two new signings before Wednesday.

We have three league games until the transfer window closes, and four until the first international break.

QPR and Sheffield Wednesday are games we should have high hopes of winning.

Leicester and Ipswich will be more difficult.

If we can go into the international break with eight points it would be a solid start.

In our 2 Premier league promotion years, 2013 after 10 games we had 22 points G/D 8 and were top, 2018 we had 23 points G/D 8 and were also top. All different teams of course, but very similar statistics. I think after 10 games if we have 15 points and a positive goal difference, we should be well happy. :bluescarf:

We are losing games we haven`t even played. 2 points a game or over is automatic so that is the real target.

Re: First ten games

Mon Aug 07, 2023 2:36 pm

I wanted 30 points but now that last gasp goal mean I am down to 28 points.

Re: First ten games

Mon Aug 07, 2023 2:58 pm

I think we’ll get 13/14 out of those games

Re: First ten games

Im going for 15 points as per the following:

Weve got 1 in the bag
I think we will win against QPR - to take us to 4
The next 3 (Leicester A, SheffWed H, Ipswich A) I think we might struggle to get 2 - so 6 in total
I think we owe the Jacks one so can see us winning that - so 9 up to this point.
I think we will also beat Rotherham at home in late September - so that's 12

Then I think our final 3 points will be picked up from the following games

Tue 19 Sep H Coventry City Championship 7.45pm
Sat 23 Sep A Sunderland Championship 3pm
Tue 3 Oct A Middlesbrough Championship 7.45pm

15 ill be happy at - but I do see room for us getting more than 15

Re: First ten games

Mon Aug 07, 2023 7:12 pm

12 points I'm guessing :bluescarf:

21 is very optimistic...more realistic for me 15 points....any more I'm happy

Re: First ten games

14 against this level of opposition would be good.

When you look at it that is a hard batch of ten, 14 points, then it must be 20 plus from the next batch!
