August - Three wins
September - Two wins
October - Three wins
November - Two wins
December - Two wins
January - Two wins
February - One win
March - Three wins
April - Three wins
May - One win

That's 23 wins = 69 points, plus a few draws. I reckon we'll be finishing in the top four

What odds that the Blackpool game gets moved? I can't see them doing a Saturday 3pm game on a bank holiday weekend.

Bournemouth away was inevitable, but both Leeds games being Tuesday night??

I've analysed the fixtures and it seems we play each of the other teams in the championship twice, once at home and once away

Fixture list release is the most underwhelming football-related day of the year. It's just a list of 46 games against dreary opposition over the course of several months.

Literally don't care.

I only really look to see the Xmas/New Year fixtures and start planning hangover management. Having said that, Ipswich (H) was the last opening fixture I wanted but only cos my Town supporting m8 always meats me for a few beers after the game and I'm still away on my holibobs.

Still, whatever grumbles we might have (Leeds on a Tuesday) pale in comparison to the Norwich run-in

You need to wait until the new-style jester hats hit the club shop. That will get the juices flowing.

But wouldn't an influx of reading fans bring the average likelihood of trouble down?

Agree with this to a degree, yesterday on SSN it was a big joke with them "selling" six opening fixtures as being in celebration of the FA's 150th, I mean who gives a toss about when Derby play Blackburn let alone when Hartlepool United go to Newport County.

Likewise, I'm on a stag do that weekend (albeit in Maiders and Wokkers), but will not be able to meet up with my Ipswich mate as a result.

And :shock: at Norwich's last 4...

Close. Liverpool, Man Utd, Chelsea then Arsenal as their last four.

At least with August being a tough month we can see who we need to buy before the window "slams shut"

Disgusted that the Bank Holiday fixtures are so uninspiring. Whatever happened to local derbies over Christmas and Easter? Once again, the football supporter gets dicked by the people who run the game.

September looks tough too. If we start October in a decent mid table spot we'll be looking good.
