steelboy Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 Our first game of the season is unfortunately on a complete monstrosity of a pitch. We showed a lot of potential in the cup games but this fixture will be more of a battle and will be our first genuine defensive test and probably a shock for new signings. Despite that I think we can get the win as Livi have lost their most important players at the back in Gallagher and Halkett as well as Liam Kelly in goals and Ryan Hardie up front. They will possibly have Nicky Devlin and Jack McMillan as fullbacks so you have to hope our new wingers can make an impact against two players we released. Gillespie Tait Gallagher Dunne Carroll Ilic Sloth Donnelly Campbell Hylton Scott I'd like to see the wingers switching sides and playing close to Scott. This will definitely be a "win the right to play game" so hopefully the team will be ready for a scrap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 If everyone is fit (apart from Cole), that would be my team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 If Livi continue the form they showed in the second half of last season we have a good chance of winning this one. They racked up a number of points early with their unconventional style but slipped back down the table as teams worked them out. If they persist with the same approach, we should be ready to match it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohwulliewullie Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 Think you may be right with the team, except I think Polworth will be in rather than Sloth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzyB Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 2-0 to us, Gallagher and Hylton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkyred Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 Going with confidence even though the pitch is rank. I think the starting line up above will be pretty close with just Polworth instead of Sloth. 2-1 to the mighty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzyB Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 Is the game gonna be streamed on MFC TV? The answer to that question will influence the amount of money I spunk on us at 17/10...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stv Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 Shiter of a pitch said i wouldnt go back there after the bus driver got lost at the cup game last year and the pitch was terrible . Wont be there for first game of season, bummer , especially fearful for our fast wingers so no injuries please. Should beat them tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daver Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 I think they've also had a lot of changes over the summer so difficult to say. I'm hoping we can edge this but the pitch won't help our wide men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livi are one of the away grounds that don't let us stream video for whatever reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given how little experience we have in the front half of the team then I'd definitely start him if he's fit enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiderpig Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 Livi lost the backbone of the team over the summer with Kelly, Gallagher and Halkett leaving and they don't seem to have replaced them, I think they will struggle this year. So going for an opening day win for the well, 2-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't it the same though across the board - haven't bought tickets from MFC direct, do they not charge? Certainly Ticketmaster are masters of that - booking fees for Liverpool v Napoli on Sunday were about £4+ if I remember correctly. Rip-off, as is the PATG price, but sadly it is what it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmcalpin Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 So, irrespective of the crowd, we're being restricted to Section L, gates 11 and 12. Couldn't they allocate a little bit more seating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
