Knob End Match Fred 12:41 - Aug 6 with 41160 viewsBeckenhamhoop

Getting in very early on this one. I only started one match thread last season and we won 4-0 so here’s hoping my luck continues especially as it’s such a huge fixture. Not just because it’s the first game of the season or because it’s the first game for JS, not just because the pressure is on us to beat a team, at home, that many have tipped to be relegated but because this team needs to win for its fragile confidence. To get its supporters to forget about gardening leave and divided opinions. My anxiety levels are way higher than normal for this game and with the injuries we’ve accumulated so early in the season I don’t think they’re going to drop, especially if Dunne and Cook are unavailable.

You wait for months for the season to start and this is what you get; a knot in the pit of your stomach.

I’m going for a rollercoaster 3-2 win. Chair with the first.

C’mon you soooopahhooooopsah.

Feeling nervous about this one to be honest. New manager, lots of injuries, thin squad, PNE look a poor team but coming here with low expectations might mean less pressure on them. Think we’ll go with something like:

Walsh
Adamson
Morrison
Mbengue
Larkeche
Vale
Field
Poku
Chair
Dembele
Celar

Which does not, in the kindest way possible, feel like a team that’s likely to steamroller a canny, physical side like Preston. I’m saying 1-1 with Burrell to score for us off the bench, but even that feels a tad optimistic. Hope I’m wrong.

In the words of the average white band, lets go around again . Another sunk to the nuts 46 game season marathon. My expectations are lower than karen carpenter doing the limbo but who knows?.

I'd stir fry my nans colostomy bag in black bean sauce for a top 6 finish but reckon it's a bottom 6 job for this paper thin squad. Cant see any goals in the team.



Maybe we'll turn back the hands of time to 2011 and 2014. I'd be up for that.

Great seeing all the R’s fans and shirts around again.
Including Alfie Lloyd sitting alone in Nando’s Westfield in full QPR gear . Someone say he got injured in his first training session at Orient ?

New kits look great (on some people )

It's certainly interesting. And unexpected.
No RB, Esquerdinha at LB, Celar fit and starts.

That's what I was thinking as well. Tbh don't hate this team too much, just terrified of Morgan and Madsen in the middle going missing. Pre season optimism is fading...

Morgan and madsen as defensive midfield against Preston is scaring the bejesus out of me if I’m honest

Yeah a CM bloodbath not ideal for a young player and a player with documented confidence issues...

Am I the only one thinking Celar might have a monster season for us? Glad to see him start.

It’s been ranked by contract duration - just don’t tell anyone.

The negativity is depressing on here. Cheer up you miserable far.ts. It's the first game of the season!

2-1 QPR, Madsen to score first.

Morgan RB. Trusts Adamson then!

Esquadinha LB.

Well it's nothing if not brave. I think today's game could be a bit nuts. My 2-0 prediction looks wildly conservative now. 🤣

Poll: How is Nourry cooking so far ? 🤣

Be great if they position themselves in a straight line team sheet order at kick off and then suddenly break out into their playing positions. It’ll scare the shit out of PNE and we’ll likely score a couple before they get their heads around it.
