Today is the day we get our premier league fixtures, and the fact that we actually won a playoff final really sinks in.
I am told that apparently Sky Sports are coming to my daughter's school to do something around the fixtures being released, and any child wearing a Forest shirt may be on sky sports?
Anyway, no preference for first fixture from me.
I would prefer a tougher start and an easier end. We won't have the full squad together until September, so it's probably best to play more of the big teams early and get games we probably won't win anyway out of the way so whatever full squad we end up with can tackle more of the winnable ones. The big teams are a bit more beatable early doors too, anything happens in the first couple of games.
Need a reasonable end; I remember Norwich going down once because they had a nightmare run in the last 5 that you couldn't see any wins from- and they didn't.
