Saturday the 18th - Ipswich (a)
Wednesday the 22nd - Hull (h)
Saturday the 25th - Leicester (h)
Saturday the 1st - Leeds (a)
Saturday the 15th - Bristol (a)
Tuesday the 18th - Barnsley (h)
Friday the 21st - Boro (h)
Saturday the 29th - Charlton (a)
We have three games in the first week including two home games!! Potential carnage! 8 games in the month with a two week break factored in as well.
All the names look beatable and with the squad from two years ago I doubt any of them get close to us, but with the current squad and manager I can easily seeing us losing some of these both home and away. I cannot remember many good performances away at Ipswich, nor at Bristol or Charlton.
Looking forward to the Leeds game, as they always create a good atmosphere and make some noise and we have had some entertaining away days there in the past.
Looking forward to Barnsley at home on a Tuesday. Not!
Dreading the atmosphere! And attendances! And Performances! And bola bola afterwards explaining why we struggled. Best get prepared for seeing Kean's slimy face all over the media again.
How long before the protests and Kean Out chants start? I predict about 15 minutes before kick-off at the Ipswich game.
8 games in a month!

Maybe I’m on my own with this but I personally think that we will be ok, at least at the start of the season. I’m not saying Kean is going to guide us to automatic promotion or anything but when you look back at last season; it’s not like we lost every game; we won 8 games against premier league opposition and took some big scalps notably United and Arsenal.
So we’ve lost players and may lose even more before the season starts but is anyone surprised? Hoilett was always going to leave, Yak was always going to have his head turned by the offer of money abroad. Are we bringing in the calibre of players that fans would like to see? Of course not but we weren’t even doing that in the premier league (Orr, Modeste,Goodwillie..???) so I’m not surprised that we’re doing it in the championship.
I don’t think we will get promoted this season but I can’t see us in a relegation scrap either. There are just too many teams worse than us. (…..dreaded last words..!)

B&WH I wrote to you on brfcs to ask about your away travel movements this year. Please bear me and my son in mind if you have space free or need a lift especially for games within 100 miles of Ewood.

Ah right, apologies, haven't been on there in ages. Yeah no problem, will have a proper look after work. We're all on a home gate boycott so will hopefully be going to plenty.

There is a right load of old rubbish in this division compared to what we are used to. Kean will use sporadic wins as justification for his existance, the team will plod on all year with no-one happy and ultimately I imagine fade into mid-table obscurity.

Cool. Am happy to share driving, fuel prices, etc. I won't always go with my lad, but normally there would be two of us travelling.

Depends on which uni I get in to. If all goes well I'll try to get to the Leicester game, and would've tried to get to the Forest game but it's too early

Got to admire the tenacity of you lot if you can manage to wait 15 minutes.
If that paper hat was the gaffer of my team I'd be hanging those banners out now!

At any other club this had been long sorted!We will just have to suffer longer and grin and bear it.

Nothing has worked to get rid of him. We can but hope this season. there is a huge amount of anger and animosity for this manager. It will not take long to surface and there are a few in the firing line this time round.

Yeah but without the grinning part!
