Corsham Ed Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 The day had finally arrived. Oh how I missed you football Saturday's. Buckle in one and all it's going to be a rollercoaster of a season, hopefully more up than downs. COYR's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 Yup, nothing like the first game of a fresh new season to give you that nervous feeling of hope and expectation. It's been a long time but like you said the day is here at last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Goch Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 I've missed this feeling. The morning train from Cardiff, the hopeful optimism pre match... hopefully the usual disappointment won't make an appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Exile Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 To echo others, and despite the usual reservations about our prospects, this is indeed one of the more exciting days of any year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 @downendcityyou are of course right, but I live in hope that at least for the first few moments of the match today I am correct! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cider_boy Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 What a day! A visit to Thatchers cider shop to restock at 9 this morning, all the excitement of the build up to kick off, then...hopefully celebrations this afternoon/evening. Hoping desperately not to get the all too familiar Saturday afternoon frustration of last season and calls of Johnson out from about 3.20. Today, and this season, WILL BE better.

Don't we all. Meant to add that fingers crossed that hope last for more than just the first few moments of today's match, but I guess we have all become realists because of the last 2 seasons.

Marina's Rolls Royce Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 Barnsley are without injured summer signings, winger Lloyd Isgrove (foot), centre-back Liam Lindsay (groin) and left-back Zeki Fryers (hamstring). Stevie Mallan, Jason McCarthy, Cameron McGeehan, Ethan Pinnock, Ike Ugbo and Joe Williams could make their debuts. Match facts Bristol City boss Lee Johnson has won two of his four previous opening-day matches as a manager, losing once (D1). The Robins have either scored exactly two goals or none in each of their last eight season openers (four of each). The Tykes have lost their last four season openers, shipping three or more goals in three of those games. This is their longest-ever run of opening-day defeats. The Robins are unbeaten in 15 home games in all competitions against the Tykes (W10 D5), last losing in October 1993. 47 of the 62 Championship goals (excluding own goals) scored by Barnsley players last season were netted by players now not at the club (76%). What can possibly go wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
