    First 3 games

    Tough start to the season.

    Bristol City Away

    WBA Home

    Reading Home.

    Will be happy with 4 points.
    A draw at Brizzle will be a good result.
    Another draw against promotion second favourites WBA will be an excellent result
    But I foresee a defeat in 1 of these games. Hopefully we do get into the win column against Reading.
    Ollie Burke might even score against us. Hope fans treat him well.

    Good assessment. It will take us a month to get them gelling.
    Karanka has made it clear, that attacking football is the method this year.
    I'm hearing another striker being lined up. Probably means Brereton out on loan.
    Bryam should be done this week. Very rapid full back.
    2 players for every position is the plan.

    Still on target for the 4 points from 3. But even 2 from 3 won't be a disaster. It's a long season and we'll get better.

    WBA have not had a good start losing at home to Bolton! Hopefully we can exploit their weaknesses. I’ll be there Tuesday with my lad, can’t wait 😁

    You do realise with such a moniker, suggesting you're going with your lad, has a double meaning!

    They're 99.9999% safe I reckon.

    I thought we played very well until we scored. Then for some reason, couldn't decide what we wanted to do thereafter. Score a 2nd or defend a lead. Instead it was neither here nor there and WBA pounced and could have nearly won it.
    Still a good result nonetheless. More cutting edge needed up front, need to take chances when it presents itself and also a need to make a better finish, Lolley and Grabban had balls where they had time and space to take a 2nd touch in order to position themselves for a better shot rather than hit 1st time.

    And of course a need to calm down and manage a lead. But WBA are a good side at this level. Our passing was pleasant but unless you make it count with shots on target and goals, it's a wasted effort. Hope they make it count on Saturday. Played 2 difficult teams without losing, it's a must to put Reading away. They'll definitely take a leaf from WBA's book and hope to stifle by packing the defense.

    Karanka has only won 3 of his last 16 games but seems to be a draw specialist. At the moment his win ratio is worse than Nolan's which is only about 30% or less.
