I turned down a job worth £250 for the day so I could go and watch the City on Saturday, so they had better win or else!!! :slap:

And they could as easily be a Callum Ball as much as a Dominic Samuel.

Unless it's actually Dominic Samuel.

We'd no doubt pick up the Callum Ball upgraded version.

We surely have a better team than last season don't we? Barton? Jackson? Nouble? McQuoid?

That was our team first game of last season. The highlighted players especially getting a lot of stick for not being good enough.

Yeah, I am this season. Unusual for me...historically I've been one of the positive ones on here. Your point about the team being better than last season...we've got rid of dead wood, I'm happy with that. But there's nothing to say Ricketts won't be another Webster or Vincelot another JoB. I might be wrong but haven't we had more go out than come in/step up? I know we're not done yet but even if we bring a couple more in...a few suspensions/injuries and our squad looks weak.

TM has more experience than SP which will be massive. But we're very lightweight up top...I'm struggling to see where the goals are going to come from. Hopefully this lad from Newcastle will stick a few away.

I think years of disappointment have meant I've realigned my expectations, that's all. If we do well, there'll be more to cheer than commiserate.

Tell you what, you wear a black armband on Saturday and I will see if I can spot you.

Will you have your head bowed too?

We're going to spend our time stalking something unobtainable, before realising it was the villain in control all along?

Can't see us winning Saturday unless a couple more are brought in as we seem to lack goals.

People saying the squad isn't different to last year...perhaps not but we have a much better manager now. A better structure and a better organisation about us. I feel like the players will give their all for Mowbray. Having said that Wigan will be a tough game. 1-0 either way. I'd just like to see a good performance, something I haven't seen at the Ricoh since...um...yeah.

We were never going to get 8 plus quality players in on our budget. It was always going to be 4-5 signings and then about 3 loans. It is not just about the new faces it is about the existing ones improving. Throw in injuries, suspensions, dips in form and 10-12th will be good progress. Get the momentum going at the right time and we might have an outside chance of play offs.

Wigan? Every game can be won. It is the consistently winning that is the difficult one to achieve. Wigan have had 13 through the door, their pre season has been as inspiring as ours. I predict a patchy game, lots of huff and puff but 0-0.

Our (Wigan's) massive turn around in players (quality out, cheap in) will see us going through a transition period for quite a few months. I think Saturday will be a big wake up call for those Latics fans who think we will be dominant this season, we are no where near that. 1:0 to ccfc but most of you will miss the late winner having fallen asleep watching our insipid tippy tappy style of play. Don't try to count the number of defensive cock ups we make trying to pass the ball about, even Bolton fans don't have enough fingers for that

If you want defensive mistakes...that's the one area we will out perform you!

2-1 to us. Early goal for them and the forum in meltdown about certain relegation. Late winner from us, everyone starts talking about promotion.

Of course we can win, but it's a tough prediction to make. Wigan appear to have a better team and we can't score goals, our best hope seems to be Wigan trying desperately to gel and us to score a goal from Reda and hang on !

Anything can happen first day of the season. Relegated teams are still recovering from the shock, teams can be especially pumped up that day.

I'd be a lot happier if we had a bit more cutting edge. But I reckon a cheeky 2-1 isn't out of the question.
