good we don't have a horror run last handful of games for a change. Plenty of chances for points.

Not a bad first 6 either to get some points on the board.

Doesn't make a lot of difference but looks ok

Watford away a bit of a naff game though , point be excellent

Is it coincidence that we often have to play Palace at home on a week night, but the away fixture is always a Saturday?

I believe so. Both currently Saturdays, for once.

Our most winnable games are being played while our new manager is finding his feet

OR

Our most winnable games are being played before the other teams suss out how we play under our new manager.

This is certainly a glass half full/empty one.

Glass overflowing here.

So much of football is about confidence in players, manager, club and crowd - skewing the best point gathering matches earlier is definitely a good thing. Does put added emphasis on a good pre-season and readiness but that is OK.

Arsenal away could be the Thursday night pick on December 5th and Wolves on the Sunday thanks to Europa League the weeks before and after

our first 7 at home you'd be targeting winning them all ( with the exception of spurs ).

Good chance to sort this Home record out again

Which of the "top six" do you include in the 14?

I reckon CHELSEA are gong to be rubbish this year and we'll turn them over at The Amex quite easily...

(or I made a mistake with my numbers... )

According to the meaningless table Smug Eddie doesn't have a game against the 6 'weakest teams' from mid Feb onwards.


Which is nice.

Whoever did the fixtures clearly expects us to be in a relegation scrap looking at our last 3 games in May.

Not sure you remember how that "easy" run of home fixtures we had in the second half of last season actually worked out for us.

I'm actually sad about this, as I've two young sons who between them support Watford and the Albion, and once again we'll have to miss this match because it's when we're on holiday.

It's a lazy first fixture, just copying last season. Reminds me of the 3 visits to Crewe on opening days back in the League 1 days.

I think we've got some incredibly tough periods, two really hard sets of games in November and April but the reality is that this league is very tough. Good teams all over the show, and there will be re-arrangements along the way. We need to make the most of games against the dirge, just like last season, and we need to get our home form right from the start. We have a nicer run in this season, for a change - we're certainly going to need those games to get us safe.

Pathetic treatment of people.

You might get a real last-minute bargain though if you are open to your destination.

Not much of a mid-season "break" is it? Half the matches one weekend, the other half on the next, giving every team one weekend off.
And it's not really mid-season.
