Tough two months.

Just looking at our fixtures on paper for first two months. Fleetwood and Forest Green aside, we have this run...

Barnsley
Peterborough
Bolton
Derby
Shef Weds
Oxford
Pompey
Ipswich
Wycombe

9 out of 11 we play who’d be in virtually everyone’s playoff contenders list I’d have thought.

If we are anywhere near the top 6 by 1st October, we’d have done pretty well I’d say.

On the other hand we will be more likely to have a fullish and fit squad in these early days and if we are up there with them come November then we should have an easier run up to Xmas. This is a tough league nowadays full stop.

There's no easy games in this league, we lost to the smaller teams we should have beat last season. any team can beat another.

Still 3 points in the bag from the first match. At least we got a practice match against Posh 3 days before the real thing.
