Despite how terrible Burnley and Sheffield United have been so far this season, what’s keeping those two managers in their jobs? At least Luton have managed to adjust to the premier league and are now getting results after a poor start

    13 games in they’ve played 6 of the top 8, think that’s pretty par for the course, given that you have to play everyone within 19.

      The remaining teams we have to play are ranked 12.5/19.

      As you’ve suggested, it’s obviously starting to level out after 2/3 of the first half of the season, but that’s still going to be a kinder fixture list than most.

        Had a look, because that’s an interesting point. For the teams right down there, the average next 6 are:

        Everton - 9.33

        Sheff U - 10.83

        Luton - 9.16

        Bournemouth - 11.5

        So you’ve definitely got a little edge, and playing Sheff U and Everton will be massive too. I also don’t rule out us (Forest) or Fulham getting dragged into it properly either!
