Next 4 games

Post by RVclaret » Sat Aug 13, 2022 7:25 am

While no team or game should be taken for granted, we definitely have - on paper - an easier run, with 3 home games against sides who finished bottom half last season (aside from Millwall) and an away game against a newly promoted team.

Jay Rod hopefully is back now which should give us a much needed boost up front.

Hull (H)
Blackpool (H)
Wigan (A)
Millwall (H)

How many points?

Should be looking at a minimum of 10.
Which is perfectly achievable.

Hull (H) 4-0
Blackpool (H) 3-2
Wigan (A) 2-2
Millwall (H) 2-0

That's 10 points, not 11.

Winnable games there.

Think we'll have three wins and a draw. Hull the most difficult I think but all four could be quite physical like Luton and we need to play effectively against that.

Who is going to score those 11 goals?
Can't really take these fantasy scores seriously myself.

Let’s adopt the Dyche mantra of one game at a time and concentrate on beating Hull first. Kompany indicated at the start of the season that we should be getting goals throughout the team. Let’s see if they can turn some of this pass pass possession football into creating a few good goals against Hull.
That would give them the confidence and belief going into the following three games.

Those 4 fixtures are all winnable, and we should definitely be looking at 10/12 pts.

My worry is where are the goals coming from to earn those points and wins.

Possession is one thing, but making it count is quite another.

They were absolutely awful against Preston last week and got away with a 0-0.

QPR were miserable against Rovers the other week, but beat Boro last week.
Its all on the day.

But we should be able to collect a good haul of points from those games.

6 unless we can start scoring. Less than a goal a game ain’t gonna get the job done

No idea on Hull - I don't know their manager and I don't know many of their players. On paper we should be confident, but that is rarely a good barometer in the Championship.

Blackpool under Appleton I think will come and sit in, and look to catch us on the break. They're not as physical as sides like Luton, so I'd be confident we can play well and take a result if we've worked on creating and finishing chances.

Wigan away will be a tough one. Leam Richardson has his side very organised, in a solid 4231 shape with lots of men behind the ball when the opposition are possession. They'll be tough to break down, but Norwich created plenty against them last week but couldn't finish. I'd expect a draw I think.

Millwall at home will be the toughest I think. Rowett is a wily, battle-hardened Championship manager who has a big and powerful side down there. They'll have a huge height and physical advantage over us.
