No opening day win in 10 years isn’t it?
We’re certainly due one.

Bursik Wilmot Batth Fox Smith Powell Allen Vrancic Doughty Fletcher Brown Subs: Davies, Chester, Souttar, Tymon, Thompson, Clucas, Surridge From pre-season line-ups, this looks the most likely, with Souttar and Surridge only just getting up to speed. Agree with this.

It’s just nice that Vokes will never be involved again

Souttar won’t start judging by O’Neill’s comments and the same applies to Doughty I didn't catch anything about Doughty. Not fit or not done enough in pre-season?

Anyone else spend 5 mins scrolling up and down for the match day thread because it feels so long since one was pinned at the top and you scrolled past it.

just been reading that reading havnt got a first team left back they have been using centre back there as they cant sign anyone Well we managed (or not...) for 2+ years, and I am still not sure if that problem is solved. Now we haven't got a (decent) RB... We've got a decent right back he's just a shit wing back mate.

I think Tymon will start instead of Doughty. I imagine the latter will be given a few more games from the bench first.

It will be interesting to see what team the manager picks. We know it will be 5-3-2 the main question for me is whether he will luxuriate in having 2 creative players Powell and Varancic in the same line up, which I really hope he does against a side low on confidence. Or will he shit himself and go for the solidity of 2 lesser creative players in Allen Clucas or Thompson. I can see sadly Varancic being used more often off the bench as a possible game changer .Come on MON let's start the season with a bang rather than a whimper!

My main worry is the softness in our midfield. I simply dont trust Allen to be disciplined enough. For me we need more physicality in there to provide a platform for Vranic and Powell. Od be tempted to play Clucas as he was really good there for Hull.

Narrow win for us I reckon. 2-1. Got a feeling it will be a similar season to last, but hopefully a higher league position. We shouldnt overreact with any result today.

London based Stokie here, not making it to the game, but will be listening in.
Hope the lads do us proud, and more importantly I hope everyone going (and those tuning in far and wide) have a fantastic day!
Up the MIGHTY POTTERS!!!!
