Its a nice morning in Coxhoe, good dog walking weather and Osca and I enjoyed our morning walk today.
Will be good to put this never ending summer break behind us and get back to football, it seems to have been forever since we had a meaningful game to enjoy and the excitement of the transfer window is well behind us, there are only so many permutations you can discuss on the N’Zogbia saga, I hope he is a hit wherever he ends up after all the drama, or should that be soapopera, involved in this never ending transfer.
We have Kilmarnock, I expect to be starting to form our starting 11, Hartlepool a game I am far from sure on what to expect then Hibs, the game I am gracing with my presence and one I would expect us to start with near enough our first 11.
2 weeks ago I think we all knew that O’Shea and Brown would start against Liverpool, injuries throw that into doubt, I’m sure I have heard that before.
We knew it would be N’Zog on the left, well who knows on that one.
At least we all knew about the strikeforce with Gyan and our new signing, badly needed with Wickham being young and that Ji fella, well we all knew he had no chance, a definite one for the future, then he goes and produces MOTM performances.
One thing is for sure, our summer slumber is about to be shattered, we could not have planned it for a more explosive start, Liverpool away with their new team and Jordan waiting.
Then that always exciting first home game of the season, usually a good crowd with everyone looking forward to getting back to football and seeing the new players. A decent atmosphere that slowly builds as we all get back into the swing of things. We hope for a win but hey, its the first game so a good performance is the main priority, well maybe not this time.
We could leave that first game on a cloud, a good point or even a win against Liverpool followed by a resounding win in our first home game, 4 or even 6 points and top 6 in table.
OR
We could be sick and ready to read the Bruce out threads, beaten by Liverpool then humiliated by Newcastle, 0 points and rock bottom of the table.
My wish is an absolute minimum of a good performance against Liverpool and a win at all cost in our first home game, 3 points and mid table will do for me.
I can feel those summer cobwebs starting to clear.
