bigfella Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Just now, Kid Icarus said: Have a feeling he'll start Dubravka and/or Burn over Pope and Botman for a bit of continuity/fairness/easing players in. I don't. If it was part of the way through the season, after the January window, then yes, I'd agree, but this is new beginnings, a new start. Burn has done little wrong, but Botman looks immense. We wouldn't have pursued him for so long if we didn't think he'd be an immediate upgrade. I don't see the point in buying Pope to have him sit on the bench and it's not as if keepers get rotated, so I see him starting too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd much rather play them in November but that's the way it's worked so fuck it. Should beat them but they'll be far easier to beat after the WC after the momentum has disappeared. Worst time to play them tbh. Aye, you never want to play a newly promoted team in the opening 10 games. However, it's a huge advantage that it's not away.

As others have said, Longstaff could get the nod over Willock, but I hope not. Hopefully Almiron maintains his beast mode and Wood gets nowhere near the pitch. First start of the season I've been excited for for a decade! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBottle Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Like everyone else, I’m genuinely looking forward to the season for the first time in yonks Forest home first is an odd one, mind. Could easily see this being 4-0 or 0-1. Wouldn’t be shocked by either outcome. Whatever happens, it’s nice to be able to approach a season without dread, and without the anxiety that an Ashley-owned Newcastle always brought Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Got a shitarse scabby (apt) 0-1 written all over it given how excited we all are for the season to start. You’d hope with so many new players they’ll be a bit loose but Cooper is as good a coach as he is vile on the eye. Would love a 3-0 (ASM, Miggy, Wood) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 When was the last time the levels of optimism were this high going into day 1 of the season? Allardyce in 07? Probably not on the same level, but I feel like that was the last time there was excitement without any caveats. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Season after 5th there was excitement even though most knew we’d fucked it Id say. Likewise under Rafa just due to his presence more than anything concrete.

Nobody Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Love that we've had a cracking pre season without even having seen our best XI in any of the games. Would say that most starters are nailed on, with the only exceptions being CB and third CM. Pope might not have 100% claimed the starting spot in goal yet neither, but would be very surprised if he doesn't start against Forest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazzy Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Confident of a win. However, always cautious of newly promoted team, especially one that has made 11 or so new signings. They could be a total mess or might surprise everyone. Its not going to be a walk over by any means. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffee_Johnny Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Review of Colback: ”Worked well with O’Brien alongside him. The two of them seemed to form a decent understanding, even if the attacking platform wasn’t necessarily there”. O’Brien a new signing, not sure of position but guessing CM?
