    I disagree. We've got to play them at some stage, and it's one of the top few guaranteed difficult games of the season, so why not tackle them first. Fresh start, new manager, new squad, bumper crowd, it's the perfect time to play them.

    Should be a really good attendance that first game. Folk on holiday to consider mind but you'd still think 17-18k???

    We will probably sell out Barrow and Hartlepool away too. What are their allocations?

    Saturday April 15 v ROCHDALE (A)

    Tuesday April 18 v SWINDON TOWN (A)

    Saturday April 22 v GILLINGHAM (H)

    Saturday April 29 v NORTHAMPTON TOWN (A)

    Saturday May 6 v LEYTON ORIENT (H)

    That is an extremely tough run in.

    Fixtures haven’t been kind to us at all.

    Fairly certain Sky said they'll broadcast L1&2 games during the world cup. Surely with Hughes we will get a game on tele during that window? Northampton at home probably the juiciest tie during that period.

    Based on playing 2 teams away that will be there or there about.

    Rochdale is a tough place to go. Gillingham have just come down and I expect them to be in the promotion mix and Leyton Orient are now mugs now.

    It’s a tough run in.

    Too much supposition going on !

    Knowing our history, I d prefer to be playing teams at the top rather than the arse end of any division. Been there, seen it and got the 16 mm film over the years!

    No supposition. These are teams that finished above us!

    So where do you think we will finish this season? Top? Think you need to come back down to earth.

    Not saying we can't beat these sides but on paper that is a tough run in.

    It's a bad fixture.

    Starting with Donny. Tough game that.

    Not suggesting where we will finish, am I optimistic that we will do well …yes.

    “ Those are teams that finished above us” assumes they will do it again..so like I suggested originally….you are taking a wild guess .

    We finished 14th mate. I think we will improve but our squad isn't good enough yet for the top 7.

    Of course you can.

    If you have played the game you will understand the manager will go down the fixtures and be noting his thoughts on the teams we should be beating, might struggle against and likely outcomes. No way Hughes and co are looking at that fixture list and thinking its kind.

    Yes, the belief will be there that we can beat anyone but on paper that is a tough fixture list currently and we are not good enough to be thinking its easy.
