With this weather it surely has to be shoot on sight? Let's just hope their keeper is worse than ours* and/or our attacking players are better at shooting. *I'm hoping ours isn't Burge, as much as he did begin to improve I don't have absolute confidence in him.

I currently have shorts on, however it's just started to hammer it down which may change things.

Could still be shorts weather yet!

Also, I rarely remember my dreams, but I have a vivid memory of last nights; McNulty scoring a pen at the end in front of the away fans.... A sign perhaps/hopefully?!

I know before the first game of the season the season the heart rules the head, however this season I am genuienly and justifiably optimistic. Barring Wembley, I haven't felt this excited about a game since the TM run a few seasons ago, and never before the first game. High pressure and...

If he can play left or right wing then it's a good signing, at least from a positional perspective, otherwise we only really have Jones as a LW option (I'm not counting Reid) which doesn't fill me with much hope. At the very least he provides competition.

Seems a sensible decision on paper. I'm sure when it all goes wrong and he leaves for nothing it'll be seen as a stupid one by most, but if he gets injured and we terminate his contract without a fee and free up wages, the initial pragmatism and sense won't be recognised. As for Pearson...

Especially if the morning announcement is Pearson, so the second signing really will be a surprise and we can spend even longer speculating!

I predict around 8k for the first game; we've had a decent pre season, made some good signings (on paper), MR is trusted amongst fans and it's the first game of the season. As everyone has said, if results go wrong early on, attendance will drop dramatically. Away fans will support that a...

Meet at the Greyhound for whatever the guest ales are, walk to the ground, listen to shouts of 'get it forward' followed by a comment about losing possession, check scores to see my bets are all losing and comment on here at HT, walk back to the car depressed at 5. One of the highlights of H1...

2-0, McNulty and Stokes (why not). Doyle to be over excited and get booked within 10 minutes and Willis to be injured by HT (although I hope not).

We will gain promotion, however Robins is key to achieving that. He got a poor side, the same side that got us relegated, playing well and winning games. This summer he has been able to bring his players in and had a whole pre season to gel the team and impress upon them his tactics and vision...

Genuinely even more excited for this season now. Every season I think we all experience that element of hope and positivity, but this year it is actually based on something. Bring on August.

Sounds positive - I hope it continues!

Especially those who still claim to be Coventry fans, but won't get a ST while SISU are in charge - they moved a club away from its community after all. Happy to get a Wasps one though.

Vikings is a fantastic show. It may not be fantastic in terms of historical accuracy, but it's engrossing and does give some insight into Viking culture!

He has shown signs of being a good player, but he's inconsistent and not the strongest defensively. Despite that, he did improve under MR, so let's hope it continues and he fulfills that potential. Following Camwell signing I wasn't expecting this to happen, unless it's indication that Stokes...

How close to the club is your source? I don't like asking, but I have asked one of mine and they aren't aware of this. Not saying you're source is definitely wrong, but based on the nonsense of this thread, your "justification" for not releasing the name and that mine hasn't heard of it, not...

Cue outrage that such a tiny club like Lincoln has beaten such a massive club like us to a player, based on a report in a paper that's been absolutely nowhere in terms of our signings so far.

None of the names are exactly exciting, but please God no Noble. One of the worst, most infuriating players I've ever seen, with an attitude which only adds to those positive attributes.
