So here we go again Have to say I’m probably less excited this year than I’ve ever been Apart from finding other things to do on Saturdays it doesn’t look very likely there’s going to be a great deal to shout about at the Bet365 Certainly not much expectation of being involved in the promotion race but can’t see us being in the relegation scrap either A mind numbing mid table season in prospect
But still in the very back of your mind there’s always that little bit that says “ this is our year” 😊
I’d imagine most of you terriers are probably thinking the same?
Anyway best of luck for the season

Despite my unbounded enthusiasm, there's a little bit bit of me that says, "this is not our year"!

I think you're underestimating your team Chadders. Except for the 4 at the top this is looking like a pretty weak year in the Championship. I've got you down for nudging the playoffs in 7th. Best of luck for the season except for those two games of course.

I would snap your hand off for a mind numbing mid table season. I think this will be the year where our cutting, slashing and selling finally catch up with us. We are rightly one of the favourites to go down. As for Stoke, I reckon 5th - 10th. You have owners who will invest big, but I think are let down somewhat by recruitment. Perhaps a phone call to Brentford or Norwich for some of their recruitment team coupled with your owners I would put decent money on a return to the Premier league.

Chadders, I think most on here would love a, A mind numbing mid table season in prospect[/B]
Think we'll be in another nail biter of a season. But not for good reasons, again.
I very much hope I'm wrong.

Pessimistic buggers Derby must be nailed on to go down, Luton won’t do as well this year, Brum are shite , Peterborough aren’t good enough and Sheff We’d have just taken Lee Gregory off us so they won’t be scoring many
Can’t see you struggling

Didn’t think I’d missed footie that much. Until the late winner went in 😊😊 Better than expected and our first opening day win for ten years
A draw at Derby is a good start, I know they’re supposed to be crap but an away point is never to be sniffed at
Still both got points on the board Happy days

I can understand that somewhat. Derby are supposed to be in dire straights and it was looking like a very winnable game. But teams being written off by the media can use that as an incentive. I wouldn’t be that disappointed. Especially as you came from behind.

4-5 players out either through injury or Covid that - if fit - would have been in the starting XI. That might be a feature of this season so I'm glad we've got better backup this season than last.
I'm not slashing my wrists just yet - the transfer window is still open & I expect some more movement in & out before the start of September. Based on the current squad though, I'm still seeing a couple of glaring weaknesses that need to be addressed if we're going to be confident of avoiding the drop. If somebody's offering a mind-numbing mid table finish I'll take it in a heartbeat.
Good luck for the season Chadders (2 obvious exceptions to that, natch).

Oh dear…… They’re a good side but that’s not a great result by any stretch
We were back to last years dreary shit today
Only two games in and not one side as managed two wins That just about sums up this League

Happy Days It might be a top of the table clash in a few weeks 😊 Fantastic winner for you after conceding so late
We’re looking much better than expected and playing some nice football. However non of the teams we’ve played so far have looked up to much. Forest were awful
WBA and Fulham already looking a likely top two

Well I didn’t expect you to be above us in the League after today. Cracking performance from your boys while we were put back in our place by a side that looks like it’s going straight back up
So it’s a top six clash after the break should be a good game
Really looking forward to it, it’s my 70th birthday and my 8 year old grandson is coming down for his first game Hoping for three points 😊

Hope you have a great day when you play us. May need to play two left backs - you’ll know why after the game!

Hi Chadders. No idea you were such a veteran like me. You must remember that famous FA Cup clash in the early seventies. 3-3 at your place followed by 2 replays. It's a shame they didn't have penalty shootouts back then, because we always win them.
I'll take another 3-3 the week after next 👍
