So here we go again........my boys, Blackburn Rovers, kick off with a home game against QPR one of the teams I see as potential play off candidates. Rovers are an unknown quantity this season with a new coaching structure, new manager Jon Dahl Tomasson new to English football and three key players lost during the summer; Joe Rothwell to Bournemouth is understandable, Darragh Lenihan to 'Boro I sort of get that, Ryan Nyambe to Wigan - really Ryan you see this as progressing your career? Quite beyond me.
How will we do? I think top eight is realistic and hope we can push for the play-offs. Automatic promotion would be a very big ask. The teams we have to watch and will be competing for those spots are Huddersfield, Forest, 'Boro, West Brom, QPR, Burnley, Sheffield United and there's bound to be a surprise package or two.
Excited already.
I'm not looking forward to this winter break nonsense.
