Re: League Fixtures Released TODAY!
Wrexham vs Manchester United
At least we're home right? Going to be a very tough tie against Manchester United, but one that we can hopefully get something from. Our team hasn't changed too much, I've invested in training more than new players so hopefully that will pay off! A 26 and 25r up front isnt bad for us, think from Nocky's power thing we have the 14th and 31st best strikers in the game so that's not a bad combo. Both will play as well!
Lincoln City vs Derby County
League One is a complete unknown and this could go any which way! Good luck to everyone in the league though except when you face us!

Re: League Fixtures Released TODAY!
Swansea City vs Norwich
We kick off with a long trip to South Wales to take on a side that we didn't have much joy against last season. Having beaten them 2-0 in the Europa League group stage at their place, we returned just two games later to be on the wrong end of a reversal of that score line in round nine of the league - a defeat that dropped us to 8th! We then had the horrible experience of them beating us 2-1 at Wembley in the League Cup Final when we were favourites to lift the trophy before our final meeting finished all square in a 1-1 draw at Carrow Road in round 22 of the league.
So not an easy start but there are no easy games in the Premier League! We have a mixed bag of results from opening fixtures but hopefully we can take something to get us up and running in this one. We will have a fairly new squad with maybe 60% new signings so will be good to get going and see how they are going to gel! We have to have a better league campaign than last year!

Re: League Fixtures Released TODAY!
Middlesbrough vs Coventry City
The first game of my return to League one sees us at home to face Will's Coventry side! We know it is always going to be a tough one facing Mr Schoolar and we don't expect this to be any different! As it stands, they have the best FW in the division and we expect them to score a lot of goals but Will's defensive structures should see them strong at the back as well!
We're fairly happy with the squad after a lot of ins and outs but I don't think we'll be favourites to win promotion this season. The team may take some time to bed in and making the top four and qualifying for the playoffs would be an acheivement!
Having said that, the last time I managed at this level - with Swansea back in season 13 - I won the title so I have track record! It'll be good fun to give it another go!
