"What line-up should Ian Burchnall opt for"

It's the second round and, alongside the proper leagues, even the Vanarama National Conference is getting in on the action. I've just been over at the neighbours' drinking home-made liquor that seems to consist only of alcohol, but I'm sure these fixtures will be OK. So have fun, get your predictions in by 3pm on Saturday and don't forget your jokers! Sheffield United v Millwall Stoke City v Blackpool Charlton Athletic v Derby County Portsmouth v Lincoln City Barrow v Bradford City Crewe Alexandra v Harrogate Town Torquay United v Oldham Athletic York City v Woking

Maidenhead at home is the ideal opportunity to start the season with 3 points and I think we will. A long season starts here and hopefully we have many many highs and very few lows.

Not a bad start for me then. COYP

I was there. I said to my friend before the corner leading to the goal that England were going to score. Germany weren't marking properly. They were tired. England deserved to win it.

Considering I know very little about Luke Williams, and having only watched a couple of pre-seasons games I've not got too much to go on. But from the little I’ve seen I can’t help but feel positive. I like the general approach that will see us press teams from the front more this season, and signing mobile forward attacking players like Langstaff, Scott and Austin will aid this. Woots worked hard, but him and Ruben weren’t exactly a quick pairing. I think with the high-pressing, high tempo game-plan there’s more chance of us putting a good run of wins together, something that is going to be key to getting promoted but my slight worry would be that come the end of the season the players might just be completely knackered. And those are the potentially season defining games. I’ll say 4th, but I’m hopeful of more. It would be nice to challenge for the title this season.

4 points after being on 13 at half time. Prediction league is back baby
