Lovely touch to include this JH. Not to nosh him off too much, but always appreciative of the details and time put into these threads, great to see it carry on into another season.

Can't be up at Boro today as off to Exeter vs Blackpool with a Grecian friend of mine, but will be following intently on here.

Wouldn't it be great if we celebrated a win by getting the girl to her goal? Only £150 needed!

 

[Martyn - Derwydd]

2 new CB's and 2 new MF's in front of them. If this was any other team I would be expecting a loss.

Optimistic, but, just like I did with Sousa the team is getting a free pass for the 1st 8 games

Boro 1-2 Swansea

 

[Captain_Sham]

I didnt realise every game was live on Sky today. Tidy.

I don't know whether Southampton look bad or Wrexham look good here. Saints seem to be playing martin ball

 

[Captain_Sham]

Wrexham certainly dont look out of place so far, but its only the first game and both teams are playing in a different division with new players so I am not reading too much into it.

 

[Nice to Michu]

Ben starts

 

[Neath_Jack]

Fulton in the side, commence your meltdowns

Widell on the bench. More meltdowns.

 

[Swanjaxs]

Fulton in the side, commence your meltdowns

 

[Ringwood]

Ayling in their back three as a CB.. got to take advantage of that
