Would be happy with a draw. Ecstatic if we could win.
First time in the tent next to the West Stand for me.

Whilst our bench is light, I think the first 11 above can compete with anyone in the league. I'm going for an optimistic 2-0

Remember it’s 12:30 kick off folks! Sun cream up and bring water, it’s gonna be a scorcher!
I think it will be a score draw.

I think we have enough in attack, subject to Coutts and Finley's fitness we will shade midfield and so it will boil down to whether the young defence can control their ageing forwards. Unlike others I think if played Kilgour will do a job on Taylor and mark him out of the game. Big concern at present with the mounting injuries is we don't lose any key players to stupid suspensions. Finley vs Port Vale and Coutts twice last season cost us many points, and probably points this season against FGR.
2-0 home win Marquis and Lofty of the bench.

Tough tough game today and a good test to see where we are against one of the teams expected to be there or thereabouts… I’m predicting a 1-1 draw… Lucky mascot daughter in attendance today to and although she witnessed her first every defeat against Forest Green last time at home, she’s saying it doesn’t count as we always lose the opening game of the season and it’s tradition 😂
My predicted team is:
Belly
Hoole Connolly Gippo Gordon
Coutts Finley
Anderson Evans Collins
Marquis
Bench: Jaakola, Kilgour, Loft, Rossiter, Jones, Lawrence, Greenslade
UTG!

Really tough game, we can shade it if we’re firing but would take a draw now. Certainly, the team that plays in the shady parts of the pitch will have an advantage.

Will be a tough game, would absolutely take a point. Heard a whisper another starter is out injured today but will find out for sure at 2pm. We must have heard the same thing. JB needs to find that leak Bloody hope not!! I know all teams suffer with injuries but our luck seems to be out and we can’t afford to lose key players with our squad as it is. I’ll have to downgrade my prediction to a 4-1 win if anyone is missing UTG

My cider is in the fridge, all ready for 12.30, this game is too tight to call but if we can play to our strengths then we may just shase it by the odd goal. 1-0 or possibly 2-1

I’ll have to downgrade my prediction to a 4-1 win if anyone is missing UTG It may be Coutts. Im sure JB mentioned he had picked up a knock in training but was back on the grass that day. Evans and collins are the ones we really need fit and healthy. Without them we look a bit goal shy.

Would snap your hand off for a draw now. Having said that, our form is the best in the country over the last 6 or 7 months.

Marquis scored in pre season, so hopefully he hasn't completely forgotten where the onion bag is!
