Johnston won't start tomorrow. 

Going off Evatt's comments in the BN, he might not do for a while- at least in the league.

I got that impression too.  Thank god Jones is injured, otherwise it would be Toal on the left to accommodate Jones on the right.

At the risk of using facts to present an alternative point of view, they were 3-0 down after 10 mins at our place last season. 

And according to this link, they only scored 3 goals in the first 15 minutes of games in the whole of last season

Statistically, minutes 16-60 are where they’re ‘supercharged’. 
 

Actually think Wellens has done a decent job there. They’ve had a really ‘soft’ set of pre season fixtures though. Intrigued to see how quickly they can get up to speed tomorrow. I expect us to win.

Point away from home win at home promotion sorted

Close nervy first game, half our team are new and need to gel and it won't be overnight.  That's all this kiss-of-death is saying, let them build their confidence quicker without any negativity from the fans, we can do this season together.

I’ve completely done a 180 on my views for the season in the last few days - excitement is now high and I don’t give a shit how strong fucking Rotherham, Huddersfield or Wrexham are, we’re going up this time and it starts with a solid win today.

3-1 Collins, Toal, Vic

0-5

With the strikers we have goals shouldn’t be a problem my issue is can we keep more clean sheets than last season?

I think that’s guaranteed if Johnson stays fit he’s best out & out stopper at the club by a country mile.

[Rizlar]

He should be captain?

I think we’ll also really notice the balance of having a left footer in that position too. Hopefully he can get up to full fitness and starting ASAP. I know we’ve got options but a settled back 3 of Toal, Santos and Johnston, playing week in week out together should be a huge upgrade on last season

Good shout as Toal struggled being a right footer which wasn’t his fault.

COYFWM. Safe travels to those going and bring home the 3 points.

Have a good day, all.

2-0 win.

Not looking forward to the Sky Sports+ experience after trialling it last night.

Yes, I watched the Barnsley game and it kept freezing then packed up altogether with a technical fault minutes from the end. Utter crap, hope it was just a local issue?

[Wanderlust]

It would be wonderful if the team gel from the off and we manage to buck the trend and get our first league win away at Orient in 30 odd years today.

Can't imagine that we'll be up to full strength yet, but whoever plays, our appalling record against them at their place should be enough incentive to put in a massive performance.

Last January they passed it better than us, created more chances than us, scored more than us and were the better team thanks to a complacent performance from our boys.

As long as we see passion, urgency, concentration, effort and a bit of quality from the lads today I'll be happy.

I watched a bit of the Super League games and the cameras were a bit better but still occasional buffering. Pile of shite compared to the proper Sky channels. Hopefully it’s only tonight that I’ll need to watch it on there.

Nice to see a few of the residential doubters having a change of heart in the past week and now re-feeling the love.

Onwards and upwards fellas (and birds).
