Can't believe how weak the side is for our opening game. Don't wish to be negative and never in a million years thought I'd feel this way at the end of last season, but it does seem we are facing FGR at the Mem substantially weaker than when we drew a blank with them just a few games ago. Obviously the window is still open and I'm sure we will strengthen before it closes but - as it stands today - we look a far weaker outfit than the last time we played them. As a result, I regrettably see a FGR win: Gas 1 - 2 FGR Our goal from debutant Marquis. They are also weaker though. I think a steady draw to start us off. 1-1.

Anyone know what a full house will actually be today with the restrictions in place (although I assume FGR have not sold out)?

First game in nearly 3 years. Can’t wait!! Promotion, local ‘derby’, massive atmosphere, gotta go for a 0-2 to FGR 😂

I can only see a win today. I think it would be great for our strikers to get off the mark.
I'm sure JB will be saying first game at home for years and not to cock it up like we usual do

Nothing is won or lost on the first day of the season. A strong start would be brilliant and I would love us to win today, but there will be no overreaction from me. We were pretty dreadful until Christmas last year and we know how that finished.

A little insight into the FGR Camp here. Sounds like they may be quite short up top in terms of options, and not feeling too optimistic about today's fixture.
So of course, it will be a 0-3 loss for us.

FWIW - FGR's one-time manager, Frank Gregan, thinks their new manager is the wrong man for the club. Hope he is right.

Well done dude. Feeling optimistic, I get the worries about us not having a settled defence and all that but FGR are also weaker I think, compared to last season. And they finished poorly so I’m going for the win and a battling performance all about our character. We’ll put out a decent 11, changes may be more of a problem perhaps.
UTG!

Their manager obviously left and a few of their players. UTG!

I'll stick with my 1-1 prediction, but with the lack of signings and rumoured injuries I'm not confident.

Bit worried about changes forced by illness/injuries - I'll go for a 2-1 win, although not really feeling it in my water!
