I have to agree Yosser. We play those promoted teams with full uninjured squads and with full optimism of their fans.
Our run at christmas when fixtures come thick and fast is appalling considering the teams who get through this period best, are the ones with bigger squads to rotate a’ la the big clubs.
However i do believe if unlike last year if we can hit the ground running with a more settled team than last year we can get off to a good start and set the tone for the season.
It is very unusual to get al promoted teams for your first 3 games though. Just wonder what Martinez and Whelan think. Might be good for publicity and gate receipts early on.
Man Utd on boxing day isn’t the worst to have.
End to season could have been worse though. Good for last game to be at home.
