Stottie Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Fairly confident and pleased its a home game to start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 (edited) I don't think he'll risk Kelly or Willock. Sounds like we've been very careful with them so far and I expect that'll continue for the foreseeable unless other injuries take hold - neither has really played that much football during the preseason. Feels like the big calls are Tripps/Tino and Barnes/Gordon. Hope it's Tino and both Barnes/Gordon. Edited August 12 by Gallowgate Toon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Gordon will definitely play IMO, no doubt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon won't allow the fact he was back later than the rest as an excuse to not start him. He may be subbed off fairly early though.

Only uncertainty is whether Trippier starts instead of Tino. I think Trippier would start if he was fully fit, but he's returned late from international duty and holidays, so would expect Tino to get the nod based on that.

Conjo Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 3 hours ago, AyeDubbleYoo said: I don’t understand this fear TBH, Hall has been one of our best players since he got his main chance. I can't explain it either. Probably a bit broken after "that" Burn spell last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geogaddi Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 These leak goals for fun as well , can see it being one of them games where we are 2 or 3 up by halftime. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Great first game for us. Really good chance to have an exciting start to the season. Promoted clubs can be tricky but out of all of them I think Southampton are the ones you'd want to play first. I don't think our first 5 games are as easy as alot of are making out so this one is massive to get some confidence going into an away game at Bournemouth where we don't tend to do that well. Plus then two really tough games in Spurs and Wolves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Dancer Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Loved that game in 22/23. 0-1 down at HT and never really believed we would lose the game. Comfortable 2-0 in this game I reckon. Similar to Forest at home 2 years ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Can't ask for an easier first game of season IMO. Newly promoted side, one that takes silly risks and plays open, with the lack of quality to match. One we should be rampant from word go. 4-0 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
