We have Manchester Utd gracing our Meadow for the first competitive game at the new stadium.
Manchester are in the doldrums at the moment, having lost three, drawn one and won two games in the last six. They have 14 first team standard players injured including Wayne Rooney. The vultures are circling and rumours of Mourinho sitting in the shadows put more pressure on LVG. Reading the manure forums it seems that even some of their fans are wanting us to vein so that there is a change in management. The bookies are changing the odds in favour if a Town win too, which is always an ominous thing.
Town are relatively fit, Grimmer is available after injury. We have some cup tied players, but thankfully Mangan and Co are all available. I'm guessing we will go for an attacking variant of our 532 formation, with plenty of pace and tough defensive players on the bench.
I think everyone in town colours (and several other Prem clubs) are looking forward to a good game where hopefully town put up a good show and at least get a draw, if not win.
