With Mills getting injured it raises all sorts of questions about our defence again and perhaps more importantly whether Dougie will now feel he has to change the system to compensate - hopefully he won't abandon the Juke/Mason thing. Still I feel I may have to revise my estimate:
Blackburn - With Luke Varney just signed he could torture our FBs so this could go any way. Hopeful for a win, but who knows? There will surely be at least 3 goals in this game if not more unless Dougie parks the bus.
Leeds - have signed Jack Butland and Connor Wickham so may be a different proposition. Draw would be a decent result
Derby - Strong team. Anything from this game would be a result for us.
Brighton - expecting a win but their new striker Rodriguez from Celta Vigo is due to come good at some stage - hopefully not against us! Tentative win.
Yeovil - determined not to go down without a fight, they've just signed 2 fairly strong players in Palazuelos and the youngster Holmes. Still we should get at least a draw and I'd expect more if by this stage we have bagged a few points and confidence is on the rise.
Blackpool - I think they're in big trouble and expect us to beat them
Wigan - they're strong and have just signed Ryan Tunnicliffe from Fulham. Draw would be good.
I'm now thinking 8 or 9 points worst case scenario, but it could be so much better if things start to go our way and we solve the defensive problem.
