There aren’t many easy fixtures across the whole season to be honest but if we’re aiming for 6 points every 5 games then we have a shout.

QPR at home and Barnsley away are two quite kind fixtures to be starting off with, and might be good to play Brentford that early as they usually start slow.

Bournemouth away in April so should be a nice sunny awayday. And Millwall at home last game..... that might be interesting if anything is hinging on a win for either club.

just reading the list of teams, feel like were playing some huge sides, kinda intimidating..

Start of the season every team is finding its way before they are full steam. Best time is the first 10 games to accumulate as quickly as possible. Also quite a few clubs once relegated have a pretty rough start in the Champ. It’s all horses for courses.... we need to compete to stay up. Let’s not kid ourselves it’s going to be a very tough campaign.

Good call regarding Brentford as they may face a significant redevelopment of their squad as PL clubs are trying to pick off their best players

The run in we have from march onwards is quite favourable if there is a favourable run in to have in the championship, the exception of a couple of matches of course

February looks pretty grueling. All either relegated teams or teams or teams that finished in the top 6 last season bar Blackburn.

Looks like we've got some kind games in December when the fixtures really start to pile up.

A couple of my best mates are wycombe fans, they just see it as a free hit this season (they say that now anyway !). I reckon a fair few established champ clubs will have big financial problems if half/full gates don’t return quickly, already points deduction for Wednesday and possibly Derby on the way (I appreciate both of which are likely to stay up but who knows) so possibly the best chance they’ll ever have of staying up, same goes for us.

It's only natural to look up at the size of some of these clubs after paying forest Green, Gillingham, Burton, Wimbledon and Morecambe over the last 7 years and be somewhat intimidated

Rubbish, we're one of few teams in this league with genuine positive momentum., counts for lot.

We'll be fine, can't remember looking forward to a new season this much.

Jesus, we all knew who the other teams were going to be, we have to play them all over the course of the season, why all the sudden massive shock & pessimism? How is it possible to over analyse everything and turn it into a huge negativity session

Tough first ten fixtures for us.

Real marker on how we will do for the season.

3 wins and a couple of draws will do me.

We did get a 2-2 off them in 1977 so I’ve heard!

Having said that-isn’t it fucking brilliant that for the first time in ages we now playing real proper football teams!!

No Carlisle or Forrest Green FFS!

Seems a bit surreal to read that fixture list tbh.

Great to be back with the big boys!

December looks key with a load of fixtures against sides you’d expect to be in and around us.

is it just me or is it seriously annoying the way this has been set out? Why are the dates for each month in reverse?

'big boys'- I don't get it, its like we have been told we have to play Bayern, Real, Liverpool & Man City, these Championship sides are not names to strike fear into us? We belong here, we walked League One which had some teams as big/bigger than any of these, please don't say we've already adopted this kind of mentality. If we aren't looking forward to this with optimism then we may as well pack it in. Can't wait to get stuck into them.

Not really, its CCFC nature. Which I guess I understand.
