So everyone has had time to think about it and now is the time to state your case.

OK so many on here not giving our own team much encouragement. I find that staggering after the very good transfers we have had, MR's ability, confidence in the side and spirit. We were beging to run away with the league last season and we have strengthened really well. So perhaps then it's...

'On Paper' I would expect a win! Please don't big up these average sides. We may win, lose or draw the first few fixtures. What is important to see is how we win,lose or draw that will be the key indicator. I think our squad is strong in depth and a few surprises will come from within. We play...

You are not serious surely?

I felt disappointed after throwing in a tenner to watch this micky mouse season opener. Some players still need minutes like Shipley. He was not effectivein his role today. Pity as he has much to offer. Kelly getting more minutes is good. Hamer looks quality as do the usual suspects like O'Hare...

We are looking quite poor in this game. Clearly not the team or formation we plan to go with. You sense we have another gear to go up and Don's are too comfortable at the moment. Lewington given far too much time on the ball. We just need a spark to ignite something. Also think players not...

They had targeted this guy and got their man eventually. Must rate him and intent on him partnering with Hamer in CDM role. Kelly's place as a starter under considerable threat now. By all accounts a very good signing. I'm not expecting to be a struggling side in the championship, and will...

Has he gone?

Be interesting to see how we compete against so called higher grade opposition. Can't see us being as bad as Swansea, who's defending was awful making an easy day for Southampton. Ings, Adams, Ward-Prowes and co I hope will feature.

Going to have to gen up on who's who! 2 wins in back to back friendlies and always in control. We look like a squad that will be more than capable.

Thought Hilsner was more DM but clearly not. Looks a good player.

Who is 17?

Can't identify some of the players, on the pitch who is 42?

...and that is why Jones can't be left out the first team squad on match days.

Kelly just not getting any grip on the game. Jones clearly challenging for a place. Baka is well Baka....not really suited to our style of play but took his goal well. Does not do enough off the ball. Would like to see Max given an opportunity here. Eccles decent. Not much to shout...

Don't get me wrong but Shippers is not a DM player by a long shot. He bareley intervened, no tackles, wonders too much, where as Hamer for example or Kelly for that matter, instinctively knows where to pick up the ball. There is a role for Shippers but he will bench a lot and be the 60th minute...

Once Allen went off we had a little less possession on the ball going forwards. Crucial player for us and will fight for his place with Jones lurking. Not sure Jones can fill that role though. Hilsner of course will need to show us more what he is about in the coming weeks.

If we play two up top then we need physicality in DM....Shippers is not it. Sadly don't think Kelly would be but loved to be proved wrong. I like Shippers more forward.

Need Rose and Dabo back. Not keen on Drysdale. Hamer absolute quality, will be better than Walsh. Can't do it on his own and fear Kelly not physical enough. Shippers not comfortable in his role here. Godden class, O'Hare class. With the amount of possesion we should be 4 up!
