I think there may be a few nerves out there today, on and off the pitch. I'm going for a 0-1 to us on the basis that team spirit and enthusiasm will see us through.
If you let your head rule I'd say best we can hope for is a backs to wall draw. Hope our weaknesses are shown up & the powers that be act upon it. We can't have another season like 2 years ago. We're just getting the fans to believe again, don't lose that. We're not expecting much, just not a season that is lost in the summer transfer window.
Think our "weaknesses" are well known but there is a business plan guiding the purse strings that ( bottom line ) is there to protect the business ( Millers PLC ) for future seasons - wherever / whatever league we are in.
Management is about doing to best with what you're given. KJ bottled it but Warne is ring fenced so he'll do his best and that's Good enough for the Chairman.
Championship is a money pit that could bigger clubs than us have fallen into and failed.
Just SO excited about the teams at NYS this year and playing those teams will be adrenaline boosts for our players to compete. Fingers crossed!
I think our fitness will keep us chasing that ball down against passing teams and we'll nick a winner - last 10. Need to love the ball when we have it because no team is fit enough to chase that much....need more midfield legs and a brain would be brill!
Come on Millers !
First game of a new season..... hoping for a good strong performance and maybe the result will go our way.
As ever away, I’ll take a 0-0 draw. That’ll keep us of the bottom of the league tonight!
A draw would be a superb result and confidence booster. It feels like a free hit to be honest because I don't think we are expected to come back with anything.

Bought a new defence because we need one. Milk can turn faster than Wood and this is big boy football NOT league one. Phew....that worries me. Fingers extra tightly crossed now !
wood and mattock struggled in league 1 absolutely criminal to have mattock at left back in the championship we are 5 players short of a team with any chance of staying up. To get promoted and not spend a penny on the squad is madness, that is not a business plan
barnsley did not copy it get your facts right they at least tried to buy some players. we are playing average league one defenders i the hardest championship in years. ronnie is 100% correct poor tactics not keeping the ball
