Prediction I think the 'Orns will be looking to recover from the shoddy performance against Ipswich but this will be matched by the hunger of the Blue's looking for their first league win of the season. 2-2
Its sounds like we have had two very different performances so far. I hope that we play well infront of the cameras. COYH !!
thanks for the thread D I hope we are the team that played against Crystal Palace..i'd hate to sit through another Ipswich game, knowing that everyone will be watching! Up until last season, we played well in front of the cameras, last season we were poop! Let's hope we're back to normal on Saturday. Not sure how to predict this one, so i'll say 3-1 with as much conviction as i can muster!
Currently at Sydney airport winging my way back for the match on Saturday. Been following from afar and can't wait to see my first game since Wealdstone. COYH
silky skills, penetrative accurate passing short and long but always to feet, greater than 50% in the possession stats and at least three goals to the good would make me a happy hornet...
I think the team will play a better game than against Ipswich and give the Blues a bloody nose. 2-1 for the Golden Boys.
Last Season we lost all our matches on tv, but we have a very decent record on TV in previous seasons, so i hope we will win! COYH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh i predict 3-2 to us.
We still have a lot of new players bedding in ,(with more to come ) we still have garner ,Yeates being picked ,New system that appears alien to some of last seasons players and understandably so. I` m hoping that with a bit of luck we can get a 1-1 and secure 4 pts from 1st 3 games which would be a very reasonable return .
Oh D, making match threads now I see. You've gone up in the world! I'll try and catch this one due to my watford and birmingham connections, I reckon that the blues are taking a lot longer to adapt under clark than you are under Zola and you'll edge this 1-0 or 2-1
They've just billed it as Zola v Clark on Sky, forgetting the fact that between 22 and 28 players will actually play the match.
Haha I noticed that too, probably just trying to build hype from namedropping Zola. In other news, Sordell is performing well even if his first Bolton goal was a bit scuffy
I have a good feeling about this, what TV voodoo! A big win for us loads of goals 4-2 to the Golden Boys
Quietly concerned after last weeks display, or lack of, shall be watching with interest, gotta say, we have to show more of this passing style in every game. According to Marks we had a few moments, I'm asking for a spell of dominance with passing. Will be interesting to see who plays too, not many of the ten new signings have actually appeared as of yet!
Nice thread D, well done. Very difficult to call this one, with 2 sets of players wanting to impress a new manager, I imagine it will be a bit scrappy and maybe a bit fiery at times - JE had better take care! I will go for a 2-1 victory to The Hornets and I hope MK gets an appropriate amount of abuse. Hopefully we can stream the game on some obscure web site!
Found out earlier that my lad is actually going with a couple of his mates just very surprised my ex is letting him go whilst I will be watching on the Internet as I am in Paris this weekend COYH
