Thing is, will we definitely beat those teams? (Burnley, Hull, etc) Even with our strongest team? I’m not so sure. I doubt it.
And is the odd 3 points every 5 or 6 games going to save us? No. You need an average over the season of just over a point a game, or 1.2 points a game, or something like that, to reach the 40+ mark.
The odd win and point here and there will not suffice.
As Alan Hansen said last night “It’s going to be a long, hard, season” (For Wigan)
