Commencing countdown, engines on (5, 4, 3 ...) - Leeds Utd (h) 06/08/17
Less than 72hrs until the new season kicks off in front of the Sky cameras. Over 20,000 expected at Fortress Macron. Our heros of last season are primed ready to explode on to the scene. And we have a host of new galacticos adore. What could possibly go wrong?

What could possibly go wrong? Someone could start a match thread in a forum not called "match thread". That's what.

Big game. Nice to be involved in big games again. Very nice.
Impossible to predict. Leeds, new manager, new players. We have a number of new players but I guess of those only Darby is likely to start.
What I do know is, that I'd take a draw now. Be good to get off 0 points. I think this season will be about scrapping for every point we can. Which is no bad thing. Having said that I suspect Leeds will be thinking a point isn't a bad result first off too. So lets smash 'em.

Can someone merge the two match threads?
Replay of opening game last season. Backs against the wall stuff at times but a spectacular effort nicks it for us. 1-0

I'm not one to whinge, and I've liked pretty much all the changes on TW under new management, but do we have to switch forums for the match threads?

Ah, I see. I only ever come to the forum page, so didn't realise there was another match thread. Sorry.Harry Genshaw wrote: ↑Fri Aug 04, 2017 9:54 amSeparate topic on the main page.

I will be in attendance. The fever is returning. Nurse. NURSE!!
Going for a 1-0. They seem a bit weaker than last season for this game, both of their imposing centre halves from last year will be missing. Jansson is suspended, ex Bolton youth teamer Kyle Bartley is back at Swansea. Wheater to nick one from a corner.
Oh and +1 to keeping match threads in the main "Trotters" forum...

No Sammy on Sunday, injured in training according to BN:
"Wanderers will have to do without Sammy Ameobi at the Macron after the winger picked up a knee injury in training. New Everton loan signing Antonee Robinson will be included in the squad."
Anyone care to guess the team?
I'll go for the one that started against Stoke last Saturday.

I'm expecting Buckley to start but I cant see where! Pissed off about Ameobi as well, was looking forward to seeing him again. How long is he out for?
Alnwick or Howard in nets? I would go Alnwick but I think Parky might go Howard.
Looking forwardto it.

We've dropped down 8 places. Parky only knows one way to play. No plan B. Thought I'd get in, early.

Sorry to pierce the positivity balloon, not that there's been one yet on here, but I'm predicting us going down to 10 men within 35 minutes and a 1-3 loss.
I'll be watching on Sky and listening to most on't wireless this season as £30 a ticket is just taking the pish. That'll no doubt get a predictable response from Bruce ( ), but for me, everything has a value as well as a price. £30 isn't anywhere near value for money for 90 minutes of Championship footie.
It's gonna be a loooooooong, hard season.
