Season 20/21

I think they might have had to mention that at the time if that's what they're going to do

Yeah, I don't think they can suddenly just use that for priority. People might've claimed refunds because they had to, rather than out of choice, would be a dick move.

The start and finish look fairly kind at this point.

Who are we expecting to be strong?

Norwich, Brentford, Watford, Bournemouth, Forest, Preston, Cardiff?

It doesn't look a very threatening division at the top or the bottom this season.

Quite fancy Millwall to be up there, top 6 form since Rowett took over and they brought Ryan Woods in. Sounds like Troy Parrot could potentially be a match winner in the Champ too if he settles in quickly.

[Sutekh]

Prediction for Reading?

I’m going to be positive and say an improvement on this season so 13th or higher. Certainly think the home form will be better but only by the law of averages rather than any real confidence.

Would be happy with anything with 13th or above to be honest, as long as our home form improves.

17th/18th with the squad how it is at the moment

[Snowflake Royal]

I'd set expectations about 8th to 14th.

Depending on ins and outs and how we start, obviously.

Do need an improvement in home form, but it's not truly urgent if we can keep up the away form, especially whilst the games are behind closed doors.

[NewCorkSeth]

9th is my bestimate.

[Notts Royal]

Delighted with that, Norwich away (only ground I need to do) is Inflatables day

Decent start by the looks of it

[SouthDownsRoyal]

Haven’t a clue until we know more about players coming in. If we get some good additions no reason why 10th up to 6th isn’t out the question, no additions or tosh and god knows, but I’d like to think worse case scenario to be 20th

They will have to introduce some sort of priority.... none of which will have been mentioned in the T&C’s.
Rewarding those who supported theclub by donating or crediting what they were owed seems entirely reasonable.
Anyone who took the refund because the were genuinely desperate for £80 is hardly likely to be in the market to fork out £300 a couple of months later....

2-0

Beautiful breakaway goal from Rino for the 2nd.

497 watching YouTube.


Guessing at the team but

Cabral
Yiadom
Moore
McIntyre
Richards
Laurent
Rinomhota
Swift
Olise
Meite
Joao


But not sure on Meite, Richards or Moore.

Edit Moore is definitely in but so is Morro, so Meite not? Confused on shape.

[Notts Royal]

Great bursting run & goal from Rino there. Great hold up play from Joao.

Big call leaving playing Olise in front of Puscas & Meite for that 2nd striker spot

[Royals and Racers]

Game is 3 X 30 mins sessions

[Zip]

Just caught the final couple of minutes of the first third. Looked good. Crisp passing and playing at pace.

[Snowflake Royal]

Araruna on at RB?

[Snowflake Royal]

I really like the cut of Laurent's jib.
