If Forest Green play like the start of last season I think we might lose. If like the end of last season then 2-2 or 3-2 to us.

Have listened to the Not the top 20 podcast (which I find to be pretty good) prediction show. They don't have us in the playoffs even. Think the favourites title is lazy on the back of Sarcevic and Doyle signings but they don't rate our squad after that at all. Also said Doyle couldn't score at Bradford with no service and they don't see where it'll come from for us.

I listened to that too, I'm also a fan of it as they're pretty balanced and knowledgeable. I'll listen to it throughout the season as a way to keep in touch with what's going on in L2 otherwise I'll just drift away from it especially while we cant go.

They, and one of the LOV people in their predictions, have cut through the hysteria of summer and laid it out bare: bar a handful of very good signings, other teams are far more settled and battle hardened than ours at this level and we might be in for a rude awakening. I'm still expecting play offs at least, and still targeting automatic but it'll be a huge struggle.

Speaking of struggle, sounds like 3-4 midfielders are injury doubts for Saturday.

I will go 2-2 for this one

One of those awful vegan pies.

Was very excited for this game 

getting nervous now

Hope we get off to a solid start in the league 

I go 2 - 1

I doubt us keeping a clean sheet, but I hope the Manager has got everyone wound up for this one.

 

When was the last time that we watched a Bolton game that actually mattered? As much as there were a couple at the start of last season which were nice to win, we were always a lost cause. Whether we are in the ground or not tomorrow, it will just be nice to actually care about the result because it means something for the first time in 18 months!! Football is back (partially)

Happy new season.

lets get this party started (hopefully)

Iirc we had a less than convincing start in the bottom league last time, go dicked at Scarborough early on and I'm sure we were rock bottom 92nd at one point of the season.

Can see us winning 3-1 today. Forest not been the same since the Clough years 

I thought last seasons start was bad . Yes it was BWFC against the world .

No players , not much hope . Yes Wycombe was all about pride and passion.

Today is just shit.

Season ticket to watch ifollow . Sat in a room on ya own.

Empty stadium , so no chance of getting behind the players.

The pubs are all shut because of some stupid muppets Bury Road.

And yeah i miss my bloody not right mates.

Our goal machine better get his arse in gear so i can enjoy my Saturday night curry.

 

I've actually got butterflies

Lockdown is fucking tudge.

 

I’ll go with 2-2. Our lack of creativity from wide positions and our lack of ability to defend will prevent us winning. Hope i’m wrong like and we spank ‘em 5-0.

Easy win.

3-1.

4-3

All there's shocking defending on our part 

 

All ours remeniscent of Brazil 1970

Clean sheet,     all the moaning about shocking defending goes out the window (for a week).

23/20 at the bookies today I’ve just seen. That will be having a few quid on it 

What's the deal with his ifollow shit for watching games. Is it all 10 quid a game or is there option for some kind of subscription?

Never used it before. Will they be showing all games this season ? 

Edit - Never mind I opened my eyes and looked

That 92nd spot crossed my mind .. 

I have prepared myself to hear of them dancing in the streets of Bury Wigan and Barrow tonight as we suffer a heavy defeat 

Having said that these men were hardly in good form since the turn of the year - just 2 wins in 12 , and had fallen right out the promotion race  

Would not like to call it  - Any points on the board today  - very happy  

 

After the 3-0 against Accy I would have said 3-0 against FGR but after those nightmare defending games I reckon a nervy 3-2 win today; saying it could be any score

Not got that Christmas morning feel that usually have on opening day. Really hoping for a positive start, but a point will at least get us going.

Win and over 2.5 goals

I've settled my self into mizmog mode and am expecting us to get beat again.

I've not seen anything other than blind hope that would make me think otherwise.
