Where are you going on your holiday Jonty, it is on BT Sport, do you have a subscription?
Are there any limits on crowd numbers now?

Devon for a week, will be on a beach for match time I have BT though Virgin Media so sure there must be a way to watch although last time I did that it was v Wigan 3 years ago when our season derailed, so dont want to jinx us!
Glad you had a great summer J.
We cannot pin our hopes on continuing the form we ended last season, as so many more factors are at play this time. Away games have fans, teams have strengthened and we have not added in key positions.
Second season syndrome is where Championship players who over performed are targeted by Premiership level tactics and mindsets.
So will Dallas be nullified? Cooper be exposed? Will Klich with his aging body show up? Will Aylings low concentration hinder him?
A lot of questions that need answering honestly.
Not sure where this idea of 'second-season syndrome' regularly affecting promoted teams has come from. The facts don't really back it up.
Of the thirty-three teams promoted over the last eleven years, only 4 have been relegated in their second season.
But 13 have been relegated in their first season in the PL.
Yet, somehow, 'second-season' syndrome is presented as fact and almost everyone buys into it.
It's a little more complex than that:

I would take same spot again to be honest and be nice to have a cup run.
We will have the crowd back which will help
We were a different team once Llorente got fit. If we can get more from Rodrigo we could be a handful
Team has had injuries and maybe lacks a quality 10 to dictate. Someone in the mould of Erikson - obviously not meaning him
