We're about an hour away from proper football, sorry to disappoint Liverpool/Fleetwood fans but none of that other stuff counted.
Even though we've only been away 12 months theres still a sense that we don't know what to expect with this league. Leeds went close last time but with Garry Monk. Truth is I don't know much about them anymore.
Like this season think the game will be completely unpredictable and anything could happen but from recent memory first game of the season at Reebok/Macron have been tight affairs. Sheff U 1-0, Derby 0-0 was it the season before? Can see a 1-1 draw on Sunday too.
Guessing we will go
Alnwick
Dervite Wheater Beavers
Darby Taylor
Karcaran
Vela Buckley
Madine ALF
With the Wham duo (the other W'Ham duo) and Sammi on the bench. Morias probably left out completely. Other subs: Armstrong, Howard, Taylor and Wilberham.

Other subs: Armstrong, Howard, Taylor and Wilberham. Bit of of a glaring omission but i forgot to include captain Darren Pratley, Derick and of neighbours fame, Mark Little. So really even getting a place in our bench is tough. Personally neither of the three would get into the side but the bench would now be Howard, Derick, Burke, Pratley, Ameobi, Cullen, Armstrong. (Which is pretty strong and no room for Little, Robinson(new from Everton) or Wilberham? Plus Morias to return. In fact the Wilberham signing has baffled me more. With limited numbers if we are bringing anyone in don't we have to make sure they get in be match day squad at the very least. May need left back cover still and possibly another centre mid and striker so at 38 he seems like a waste of a squad number if not money. |

I'd personally play him instead of Madine when he's fit. Im sorry to knock Madine too early in the season but I have no say I think he'll be found very wanting again at this level. I just hope Parky doesn't persevere with him for too long at the team's expense. As for Pratley, as club and team captain I can't see how PP can possibly leave him out from the start so it will be really interesting to see how he sets up. Frankly, I really can't see what the team sheet will look like other than Wheater, Beevers and probably A Taylor, everybody else is questionable. I suppose it hinges on whether he goes 3 at the back or not but it will certainly be interesting to see how he plays it. One thing I do know is that it won't be anything like the team I'd pick but then it wasn't last year either and it didn't do too badly did it? Anyway, whatever team he puts out I hope they bring home the 3 points.

This new chap at Leeds!!
Although only managed in Greece, his record doesn't look that bad, but then this is the Championship and I'd say you need a little bit of Championship experience to succeed
What do I know??

Let’s get the season off to a positive start.
Leeds is a difficult fixture but definitely one we can win.
Have you seen the potential side for Leeds:-
- Wielwald
- Ayling
- Cooper
- Pennington
- Berardi
- Anita
- O’Kane
- Sacko
- Hernandez
- Alioski
- Wood
Apart from Chris Wood, nothing to really scare us, is there?
I accept that we will have trouble scoring this season and that central midfield need to win some form of dominance but I feel that a win is there for us.
I assume that we will play the majority of last season’s final game team, particularly with Ameobi being injured.
The last 2 seasons, I have said that I would be happy with a draw in the first game as we had difficult opponents and we got 0-0 and 1-0 so here’s hoping for another positive result.

I really want to say that we will win this but I don't think we have a strong enough team so I will go for a draw. We are not going to face as big a test as this at home so early on except may Middlesbrough I think we can get something from the rest. Tough game this score first who knows what might happen.

I must say I wasn't expecting this but maybe feared it still onwards and upwards as they say Rome wasn't built in a day COYWM.

Decent fight back in part but no middle play at all and poor long hoofing up all the time (that's not me joining the hoofball bandwagon) but everything aimed at ALF and Madine. Defensively for their second completely questionable but I'm guessing we'll not face a decemt side like Leeds every week.
Let's take some battling credibility onto the next game

So all in all not bad for a team that cost now't apart from wages up against a team that changes there manager every 3 or 4 months cause things are not going there way and they have spent money. Ok so we lost, first goal was sloppy defending with a deflection, second goal offside by a toe, we get one back then fall asleep and give them a third I thought the keeper could have claimed the cross but let's not nick pick. Then my internet went down so lost the stream so I don't know what happened second half other than we scored. We will not play a team so full of themselves again all season until we play them at there ground so as I said before onwards and upwards it's not all doom and gloom. COYWM |
