the on paper rundown

[CLIVETHELEEDSFAN]

so 45 days to go before we batter and splatter carduff, but all giggles aside, how favourable has the rundown been to us?

based SOLELY on league position last season (so leicester would be 1st, southampton 3rd, plymouth 22nd, ipswich 23rd, and sheffield 24th, due to them coming down from the prem, or up from league 1 (we would be 2nd but don't play against ourselves)), how do the months look for us?

AUGUST - GOOD

cardiff 21st
birmingham 17th
west brom 9th
ipswich 23rd

SEPTEMBER - BAD

sheffield 24th
millwall 8th
hull 15th
watford 11th
southampton 3rd

OCTOBER - GOOD

qpr 20th
bristol 14th
norwich 13th
stoke 16th
huddersfield 18th

NOVEMBER - OK

leicester 1st
plymouth 22nd
rotherham 19th
swansea 10th

DECEMBER - BAD

middlesbrough 4th
blackburn 7th
sunderland 6th
coventry 5th
ipswich 23rd
preston 12th
west brom 9th

JANUARY - GOOD

birmingham 17th
cardiff 21st
preston 12th
norwich 13th

FEBRUARY - GOOD

bristol 14th
rotherham 19th
swansea 10th
plymouth 22nd
leicester 1st

MARCH - GOOD

huddersfield 18th
stoke 16th
sheffield 24th
millwall 8th
watford 11th

APRIL/MAY - BAD

hull 15th
coventry 5th
sunderland 6th
blackburn 7th
middlesbrough 4th
qpr 20th
southampton 3rd

Overall I think it could have been a bit kinder, ultimately we have to play em all at some stage, but december and april/may look pretty brutal, I think october could be our best month, i'd expect us to aim for an unbeaten month for october but again its only on paper, we don't know what any clubs squads will be like, what injuries or suspensions will be picked up etc

whats your thoughts on the fixture list?

A few unknowns yet Clive me lad.
Confirm ownership.
Confirm manager.
Confirm players out.
Confirm players bought.
Only thing for sure, most of us will still be yapping on here.

Yapping - do you mean stimulating, intellectual conversation by like minded (ok stretching it now) individuals.

Hmm, probably not what I meant

[WTF11]

Why on earth does this matter? We can't forecast what we we will do, or achieve, over the next month or so, the next 12 moths is just "out there" and we should just guess!
