    Based on Pre season it looks like we are going to be seeing Charles in the central defence role a fair bit this season.

    Can Imagine he will pick the below

    Bazunu
    Tino -Charles Bednarek Manning
    JWP - Smallbone
    Alcaraz
    Tella Stu
    Adams/AA

    Stephens ahead of Bednarek IMO - Bednarek has been injured most of pre-season.

    He isn't dropping Stephens. He'll be first name on the team sheet.

    We bought Charles as a DM. Despite still having 6 CBs, we are trying to sell 3 and 1 is MIA. With Bednarek injured, Charles has to cover CB. Shows what a mess our squad is in. When Lavia goes, we could really do with Charles in the middle though as he’s our only DM. I wonder if Lyanco might feature until we find a buyer.

    I’ll be there as long as ticket arrives. Ordered it last week, no show yet. Just want the team to show some flair and fight, qualities sadly missing for some time.

    Os, I fully understand your increasing level of excitement, but if you become excited because it's Match Week, you will remain excited for the entire season, allowing for International breaks, but even these may rouse your interest. You may not be able to relax until next May, by which time the Euros will be on the horizon.

    That means winning games then! Can we cope with that sort of performance?? I mean we'll see a win at the match or on the results for us, then we'll recheck to make sure we've read the score correctly!!!!

    What's the betting line like for five pens against in a single match? I could use a new house.

    One nil home win from a blatantly offside goal.

    Looking forward to the fresh start. I like Russel, and I like what I’ve seen style wise. Would love a good start, so the guys build confidence quickly.

    Renewed the season ticket but oddly starting the campaign by watching the competition. Being taken to watch Bristol City vs Preston. Wonder if they have anyone worth pinching.

    Had this match earmarked to go to but sadly a wedding has put pay to it. Really don't know what to expect. Will take us a while to get going with all the uncertainty. We haven't really addressed last year's problems which although a division lower, I feel could be an issue. Don't think Wednesday are overly confident either. Think we'll nick an unconvincing win

    By full time we could be top of the league, we could be second in the league, we could be bottom of the league. Anything could happen!*

    After 2 years of horrendous football, decline of Ralph, disastrous Jones experiment and sleepwalking to relegation with Selles I think we’re overdue a win. Lawro logic, Martin is going to work.

    We hit the ground running with a 0-3 win.
