Avoid any promoted team in the first 6 games.

Would like an easy first 5-6 games. Get us out in front and staying there.
Convinced we piss this league.

A couple of easy to get to (for me) southern teams whilst the weather is good and not midweek and I’ll be happy. No doubt most of them away midweek in the depths of winter.

Play offs a minimum goal this season, though unless we change formation to get more out of Peers and Caton I still think we need more goals up top. |

About time, ridiculous that it takes so long.

No thanks, newly promoted teams tend to start well, as did Bishops Stortford when they beat us 2-0 last year. Also, I'll be in Cornwall. |

Just checked and we've started the last five seasons with an away fixture.

Feels like an age since we last played at home on the opening day, so I’d like us to start off at the Deva and get the place rocking. In reality, we’ll probably play Needham Market or Oxford City away.

I reckon Curzon Ashton or Chorley at home, and one of those away during the week after

It’d be nice to finally begin the season at home again. Ideally someone like Scarborough, I’m saying - a side against whom we’ve got a decent record and who are unlikely to spring many surprises, who should provide a good test but who we should be able to beat. Inevitably, though, it’ll end up being someone like Peterborough Sports away. Needham Market away will be on a Tuesday night in November.

That looks a real tough set of starting fixtures.
We'll need to be more ready than we have been the last two seasons. 4 to 7 of the first 8 games are against sides who are likely to be in or around the play off positions.

Very tough August fixtures, going to have to hit the ground running.

We need to have a good start, but those opening games are terrible on paper

Post by superhans on Jul 10, 2024 12:49:34 GMT
Yep rotten away trip up first isn't ideal but at least it'll be one rubbish one out of the way
Tough august that, but we know we need to improve on last season's start so nothing changes there.
All winnable games on paper as they were last year, think the august home games are tougher on paper this year, but we tend to do well against the better teams at home anyway

Really don't get this tough start nonsense. Every game in this league is tough home & away.
