Are you on crack? The BCD games will be building up match fitness and sharpness. They won't be sharp straight away but will be ahead of us in that department.

The thing is though, they have a lot of crammed in games (the majority of which are meaningful)/. they then have to stop for a break and start up again, so will be facing just as much as an unusual pre-season as us. I guess mo-one yet knows who will benefit from the different season ends we/they have had. In terms of match experience, it will be the other teams, but in terms of potential injuries, niggles , i would have thought we might benefit overall?

We’ll definitely be at a disadvantage at the start of the season but we could start to see a bonus around Christmas when you’d think we’d have fewer injury issues.

On the flipside though, I think we're going to be more susceptible in pre-season to pick up niggles and potentially one or two more serious injuries.

From next week we will be training which will include matches full and small sided, we don’t know for sure when the new season starts either mid September seems favourite two months away, as someone said championship teams will need a break of a couple of weeks or so, we will training and playing throughout

Interestingly, I've trawled back through several pages of the Small Heath Alliance (Blues) forum, back into the end of June and there is not a single post about O'Hare. Not saying it won't happen, but surprised their fans forum isn't running away with that story when so many other minor stories are being covered (new manager excepted).

But training amongst yourselves is not the same as competitive league experience

The worry is that the current championship teams are getting their fitness through matches as well - our team will be starved of different approaches practice in real conditions - I have to say that the League 1 playoff ties were poor except for Oxfords Penalties - Championship is a big jump !

They’ll still have a break and a pre-season.

Championship due to finish on 22nd July (not inc playoffs).

It’ll be very doubtful that season will start back up in August. More likely September or last weekend in Aug-So that’s a 4-5 week break.

Plus more chances of major injuries to their players who are still playing competitive games.

So maybe a little disadvantage but not as bad as you think.

Plus most Championship teams won’t have their new transfers in and working until after season finished.

We’ve bagged 2 and they already due to be training way before Championship finishes.

You can find Pluses and minuses either way.

The other plus could come much later on, when most of the other teams will be coming to the end of an unusually long season.

He's from Dorridge, its about 50-50 Blues and Villa round there to be fair, lots of ex blues and Vile players live round there.... As does Brandon Mason, surely they could car share, save petrol money, u know how poor these footballers are!

Nope, but with only 4 games left and the number of teams below them (plus Wigan) it's nigh on impossible for them to be relegated.

They are well in the mire. With Wigan I assume they lose 12 points unless it doesn’t relegate them and the 12 points are taken off next season

With the points off for Wigan, Blues are effectively 7 points clear of the drop zone with 4 games to play.

Wigan lose the 12 points this season if they finish outside the bottom three.

I think it's Wigan lose 12 points this season if they finish outside the bottom 3 and taking twelve points off relegates them. Finish in the bottom 3 or finish 13 points above and it comes next season.

No, it only comes off next season if they finish in the bottom 3 without any deduction. In every other scenario it comes off this season.

Wigan Athletic confirm points deduction decision

Subject to appeal and this isn’t like any previous situation, one being admin was applied for after the official end of the season. This will get very interesting believe me.

I don’t see O’Hare getting ahead of Dan Crowley in that No.10 position at blues if he ended up there.

Hopefully here, but my gut is starting to say it won't happen. Fingers crossed it does.
