Soccer Saturday pundits - Tony Cottee, Iain Dowie, Steve Cotterill and Neil Mellor - predicting Boro as top 2. Also saying Wolves just outside the playoffs.
Some other points Soccer Saturday made (about our game): + Bruce has gone for experience. + Villa rely too much on Kodjia. + Terry will provide real leadership and sort out the egos within their locker room. + Terry's age could be a worry but he'll find a way to adapt. + They worry about us getting near the top 6 because of the number of players lost. + Manager is a "gamble" (Cottee). + Owners have sold the team from under Slutsky who is a very good manager (Dowie). + Mellor thinks losing the players will help (as will the fans). Feast on those...
Curzon Ashton 2-0 North Ferriby. They're getting done over. That isn't good whichever way you look at it.
Have Ferriby underinvested again at this lower level this off season or is his early season wobbles. Genuine question as I'm overseas.
They've signed some decent players, but they haven't really strengthened the defence. They'll be top 10 this season.
Didn't get international clearance in time. They're down to 10 men as well, Mark gray has just been sent off for a two footed lunge.
