Nearly halfway

Wed Aug 20, 2025 8:00 pm

I know a lot of fans always say that a manager should be judged after ten games. I think that's fair, it's the right timeframe in my opinion.

We've had a good start with ten points from a possible twelve and even though I'm a big supporter of BBM, I am conscious of the fact that at the moment it's just that - a good start.

But we will be halfway to those ten league games after Saturday.

What points total do you think would be a successful first ten games? Or what league position if you'd rather judge it on that?

Obviously we have ten points from the first four and the next six are:


Luton (a)
Plymouth (h)
Burton (h) - could be postponed for international call ups
Stockport (a)
Bradford (h)
Wigan (a)

Looks a much tougher set of fixtures than the 4 we have had so far, I think we will know a lot more about our team after those 6

Obviously 18 points is the dream lol but realistically 10 would be a decent return imo

That would give us 20 points from 10 games which averages 2 points per game which over the season would probably see us finish top 2

He's done well, especially seeing as he was only left with the youth team and a few add-ons.

Promotion form is four points every two games, win at home, draw away of the other way around, so two points a game, twenty after ten, and so on. We have to remember it's only league one and little old Wrexham got promoted last year with a few pub team players and a few ex-professional footballer pensioners.

How many players do we have to have called up for Burton to be postponed?

Just seen it's 3 players, including all of full international, U21, U20, U19. so that'll definitely be called off by the looks
