A tight season in store ?

Post by Clarets4me » Mon Aug 15, 2022 7:57 am

Amazing that after just 3 games in the Football League, and 2 in the Premier League ( bar 1 game ) and the National Conference, only Liverpool, Manchester City, Arsenal, Blackburn Rovers and Leyton Orient have a 100% record !!

Out of 116 Clubs, I suspect this some kind of record ...

Hopefully as it will make it more interesting. Can take liverpool off the list though because they drew against Fulham.

Can’t see past City in the Prem. Too strong. Liverpool still starting Henderson and without the injury prone Thiago, unless they sign a new world class centre mid, they won’t match City.

Championship I think will be tight, there just does not appear any standouts. I think the results so far show this.

City will walk the Prem again, but crash out of the CL again.

Champ is always tight, even Fulham suffered 10 defeats last season when they stormed to the title.

Rovers have started strongly, but I can't see them maintaining this form if injuries hit them.

The good news for us is nobody looks like romping away in the Champ, so worst case scenario is we'll be in the PO hunt anyway.

Hmmmm... You know Mowbray's gone don't you?

Certainly the new manager looks like he knows what he's about....and like Dyche he clearly knows you start by sorting out your defence. They looked a decent outside bet for automatic promotion at the outset... I don't think you'll see those odds again.

I suspect we'll finish the season in different halves of the table.
