Our first 12 games
Thu Jul 17, 2025 4:01 pm
Most of us judge how our season is going to go after the first 12 games. Lets take a closer look at these 12 games.
Sat Aug 2 - Peterborough United (H) - 12.30pm, live on Sky
A big burly side who had a disappointing last season finishing 18th. They won the EFL cup against Birmingham which is scant concilation. They will be a difficult start for us but not impossible to beat.
Thurs Aug 7 - Port Vale (A) - 8pm, live on Sky
Came up from league 2 through an auto place. This without doubt will be a difficult game.
Sat Aug 16 - Rotherham United (H)
Since dropping out of the Championship they seem to have settled into a league 2 outfit. This will be a test to see of we are up to a promotion push.
Tue Aug 19 - AFC Wimbledon (A)
Cane up through the play offs. Another big burly side from the Vinny Jones era. I just feel they could be too much for our young side.
Sat Aug 23 - Luton Town (A) - 12.30pm, live on Sky
We know about these and I'm expecting nothing from this game.
Sat Aug 30 - Plymouth Argyle (H) - 12.30pm, live on Sky
Perhaps the favourites to go up. Another nil punt for us.
Sat Sep 6 - Burton Albion (H)
The easiest of our opening games. 3 points and nothing less else we are going to struggle.
Sat Sep 13 - Stockport County (A)
This will be a very tricky game. They surprising got to the play offs, nearly got an auto. If they are not having withdrawal symptoms from failing then we will do well to come away with a result.
Sat Sep 20 - Bradford City (H)
Came up from league 2 with an auto. They are going to be very difficult to beat.
Sat Sep 27 - Wigan Athletic (A)
This club have been messed about over the last few seasons. I see them struggling this season ajd we should take full advantage of it.
Sat Oct 4 - Leyton Orient (H)
They must be disappointed failing in the play off. Lets hope they are having withdrawal symptoms. We should beat them.
Sat Oct 11 - Barnsley (A)
Mid table last season and expecting the same this season. We should come away with a point at least.
Concluding. I reckon top mid table after these games.
Thoughts.

Luton, Plymouth and Stockport will be the big early tests.
If we lose at Vale and Wimbledon then it's time to panic.

Ill wait to see how we get to grips with League 1 pace, toughness. I think that will be the key on how we handle it.
