Anyone know if the new Man City lad and/or Cranie can play?
Not seen whether Cranie has even signed so I suspect not.

Bolton may be in trouble but they have some solid Championship players - I don't think it will be as easy as some people make out and I would take a 1-0.

That said if we started with Morrison, Rodriguez and Rondon you could see goals.

I would imagine the lineup will be

Johnstone

Nyom Bartley Hegazi Gibbs

Phillips Livermore Brunt Barnes

Mozza

J-Rod

Not saying I agree but that is what I expect.

Think we'll win by at least 2 clear goals. Miles better than them on paper, they're in all sorts of trouble.

On paper, it's the perfect opener. Home match, opposition team is trouble. But we are Albion. We seem to let things like this cause us problems.

But anyway, new slate and all that. I really hope we get a good win. Not just a win, but a convincing win. That's important to give us confidence for the games ahead.

going to be adventurous and go for a 3-0 win.

With talks now back on between the club and Newcastle regarding rondon and Gayle I wouldn't expect to even see Rondon in the squad.

Does anyone think the likes of Rondon, Dawson, Gibbs and JRod may be rested due to their respective transfer speculation and possibility that we’re selling? Seems a lot of pre season we started without them (bar JRod) in the lineup

The feelgood factor round the club considering we are coming off the back of a relegation is just crazy. There is a queue that runs through the Astle gates for the new change kit and we will have our highest opening day attendance in over 15 years and probably our highest attendance of any description since before Pulis took charge.

I am genuinely looking forward to the game and the season as a whole. I just hope we get off to a flying start.

Think Dawson may be having a lesson in humility on the bench or in the stands, but I don't think there is anything remotely close to happening for the rest so would expect them to be involved. For that matter I don't think anyone is in for Dawson either just that he won't be involved following his earlier tantrums.

Is Jake Livermore captain today?
It is not the taking part, but the winning that counts.

I doubt it, Brunt will be Captain I would have thought, shoe horned in for set- pieces.

You watch him have a worldly in the centre of the pitch like Bryan Robson back in the day   8)

Well he will have done according to Jacko anyhow  :D

According to the image on the OS yes he is.

I imagine it’ll be brunty captain today, which will be released when the team sheet is out at around 2pm. Really looking forward to the game, feels like an age since I’ve watched us play, and will be nice seeing us play like favourites again!

Why not?
Have their heads been turned?
Pathetic,I thought these players are so called professionals?
Obviously in word only,where's the backbone,if they havnt got it flog em to the highest bidder.
They're not wanted in these parts.
