I reckon he's going to start Elmo instead of Cash or Guilbert. Not sure why, just a feeling. We need to keep it tight at the back as they really should have scored against Wolves last week. I'll go for a decent 3-1 start.

We need to keep it tight at the back as they really should have scored against Wolves last week. I'll go for a decent 3-1 start. You could be right. Took him a while to trust Targett after a big money move last season, and he might take a cautious approach for the first match.
I can't see that they've got much up front to worry us. Sharp is well past it and hasn't scored since Adam was a lad. Mousset is injured, and McBurnie doesn't get many. Norwood is a good player, but stick SJM on him and tell him to kick him if he gets too big for his boots and we'll be good. 3-0, fuck off Sheffield United, and fuck off Hawkeye.

Wasn't it £12m rising to £16m with add-ons? Either way I wouldn't expect Cash to play tonight especially having been handed his arse against Man Utd in the friendly. I hope we ease him in and not throw him in the deep end if he's not ready. As far too many of our players found out last season, it's a huge step up.
When you read the pre-match thread and realise after all the excitement and optimism we are likely to start with Hourihane in midfield again. Not that I don't like him, but the with the general squad improvement going on one would have hoped he may have been relegated to a non-starter.
