Thought I would 'classify' and colour code Sunderland's fixtures (Aug & Sep) according to finishing position last year of the opposition: treating the top eight (including two relegated sides) as RED (least likely to beat), next eight as AMBER, and remaining seven (including promoted sides) as GREEN. Opposition sides moves up or down a category depending if home or away, i.e. if playing a RED team at home it becomes an AMBER fixture; and a GREEN team away becomes an AMBER fixture.

 

Whilst a bit random, it should give, based on last year's form/squads, a sense of how well they should be doing at the end if Sept given the relative difficulty of the start. So:

Derby H points predicted: 1 Got: 1

Norwich A predicted: 1 Got: 4

Sheffield Wed A predicted: 1 Got: 5

Leeds Hpredicted: 2 Got: 5

BarnsleyA predicted: 2 Got: 5

Sheffield Utd H predicted: 5 Got: 5

Nottingham Forest H predicted:8 Got: 5

Hull A predicted:9 Got: 6

Cardiff H predicted: 12 Got: 6

Ipswich A predicted: 12 Got: 6

Preston A predicted: 12 Got: 7

Presuming on average the points total for an average Championship side would see three points for Green games, 1 point for Amber and 0 for Red. 12 points by end of Sept would signal mid-table mediocrity. Less = trouble ahead. More = on course for top half.

There are 5 out of 16 Red games, 3 of 15 Amber, and 3 of 15 Green games. So relatively speaking more difficult first 11 eleven games.

This takeover nonsense is really going to f*** them over. Could take another month at least to finalize a takeover and there won't be a manager appointment before most likely. That said, if its Pardew that is gold for him... built in excuses. 

 

"We was hampered by the moveable feast that the takeover was. I'm hoping for patience as it will take time, an 8 game losing streak happens in football."

He'll win a few games in a row and appear in a local mackem pub wearing his fake glasses, standing with a couple of big breasted mackem women before he loses it all.
