Well here we go. The excitement builds for our first game. Can we build on 2 years of progress in this division and a good pre-season to state our claim for promotion.

First decision for Evatt will be whether to go with a number 10 behind 2 forwards - if he does CMG is the man.

But I think he’ll grow into the first 11 - he can make a difference next week coming from the bench. 

Just 3 positions up for grabs then for me. I think Morley will pip Thomason, Adebeyejo will go up top with Charles and Iredale wil go LCB (if fit, if not Forrester did very well today.

                      Baxter

       Jones.     Santos.   Iredale 

Dac.Cog.   Sheehan Morley.  Williams

                      Dempsey

            Charles.     Adebeyejo 

Feeling confident about this. 
 

3 - 0 

*not copying Cheese, promise x

3-0 for me.

 

I’ll be a bit differerent

I think it’ll be 3-0 😂

I fancy us to win by three and Baxter to keep a clean sheet.

1-1 go an early goal down and equalise in 90th minute

That was last season. My ticker won't stand it. This season we are going to play brilliantly from the off.

I hope.

Hopefully midfield chip in with a few more, Morley, Dempsey & Sheehan all capable from distance, Mendes Gomes can  hopefully chip in with a few as well.

Sometimes it was what we needed last year was someone to just have a dig (Sheehan at home to Shrewsbury springs to mind).

2-1

We’ve got to get out of the early goal down situation. It has cost us points in the past.

We’ll piss ‘em. 3️⃣ 0️⃣

5-0 

66/1

It came in twice last season 

If we're to kick on this season we need at least 3 5-0s this season otherwise we're not progressing 

I’m thinking Lincoln could be the surprise team this year. They had a really good squad last year and haven’t really lost anybody of note but have added a couple of strong players including Ethan Hamilton who I think is a top signing for them. Also their leading scorer from last year Ben House, expected to leave for the Championship has signed a new deal. They have pretty pacy attack and if you’re not careful can easily catch you out. We should still be better and win this but I think it’ll be close so I’ll go for 1-0 or 2-1 to the Whites and I’ll be relieved to get this one over the line.

I predict the match will pass the 100 minute mark. 

Roughly just '100' seats left in the whole East Stand 

Any win will do

They're a decent side and they'll do OK.  Oxford are my tip for surprise packages this season

Where do you lot find best for parking to avoid the 1hr30+ wait after games to get out? Not too worried about Saturdays but early shift after midweek games is awful, need a new spot

1hr 30!?! Where have you been parking??

1-0.

3 home games out of the first 4 and an away against relegation fodder.

Great opportunity to get a flying start.

Got to be at least 8 points.

Well up for this season, COYFWM, get these lot done 

I hope everyone going enjoys a craker COYWM

 

3 points must be the aim.

I,ll be at work in Devon  lol
