Picture of Léo Bonatini doing the rounds of him on what looks like a London Midland train.

Dicko was scoring fine before his cruciate snapped. Over the pre Season he has shown enough to suggest we could be getting that back. We need 2 extra strikers but Dicko will be a massive asset with Costa, Cav, Neves, Jota & Graham supplying him.

Exactly

Except he's injured again just like Marshall, Costa and Hause and we don't know anything about what or how long

agree, we dont get a lot of info from the club just Tim I and II guessing and trying to beat the other..a bit frustrating, dont think it will be long term injuries though..was a bit afraid when Nuno had a training session every day even on a matchday..guess we will be strong late in the games though

 

[Nando]

Abel Hernandez is a good player at this level. Scored 22 for Hull.

 

[Peter_Knowles_Ghost]

That's a strong side

Agreed. It will be a stern test for our new-look Wolves in the first match of the season.

Could well be the sides that eventually finish 1st and 2nd meeting on the opening day. While Sky show lower mid-table Sunderland...

 

[Freddeno]

Sunderland will be in big trouble this year

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Yep, I'd have Sunderland a way lower than mid-table at the moment. They just seem completely broken. It's us in 2012 without signing Sako.

 

[AndyWolves]

I put £2 on Sunderland to get relegated

 

[AndyWolves]

Boro have a decent looking side, and have been playing together longer. It'll be a tough game and will give us a very good indication as to where we are.

In my head I'm trying to work out if they're better or worse than Leicester. I think they'll be better than Leicester were on Saturday

 

[Parkins left foot]

Not sure that Leicester were trying that hard on Saturday (apart from Schmeical who seemed to have a meltdown when we scored)

Boro will be a tough game, but not a bad one to start with as will give indications of where we are - can see a score draw on this one

 

[Tony Towner]

I don't think you can say that losing to Shrewsbury didn't matter as it was a training exercise and then lord it over Leicester for beating them at the identical time in their pre season. I do think both home sides can take confidence from it though

 

[Penk Wolf]

I think the Boro game has probably come at the wrong time, but will be interesting either way.

 

[AndyWolves]

I'm of the view that boro's squad now is probably better than when they were in the prem

 

[Alan]

Braithwaite is absurdly good for this level. He'll give Barry a proper test.

 

[Deleted Cyber]

Newcastle lost their first two games last season iirc and were still champions. Boro could lose to us and still finish above us. I think that if we finish above Boro we will go up. This could be a cagey 1 1 draw.

 

[Alan]

I'd put my money on a 2-2, personally.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I'm of the view that boro's squad now is probably better than when they were in the prem

By a mile

Saying that though, we are a lot better than we have been for many seasons. Could be a match between the eventual top two.

 

[Freddeno]

It will be a tough test, would be delighted with 3 pts and almost satisfied with a draw
