Not sure whether to be nervous or confident about tonight 17:48 - Aug 8 with 680 views | Dubtractor | We've got a really strong team (whoever plays tonight), an amazing manager, and our outlook is frankly insane compared to where were were just 3 years ago. So I should be confident, even allowing for the challenge that Birmingham obviously pose. But there is just that nagging doubt that we'll have a hangover from last season, which seemed to get worse as it went along (if we're honest about it). Absolutely nothing is decide tonight, but it will be a huge confidence boost (for me if nothing else!) if we do start with a win. COYB! |  |

Still not the fixture any of us would have chosen to start the season and I would still take a point now but feels like we're a bit closer to being ready. Still need at least two big signings and to sort the Omari situation out as soon as possible. |  |

Not sure whether to be nervous or confident about tonight on 17:57 - Aug 8 with 556 views | Ftnfwest | Since the start of last season I seem to be ridiculously relaxed about games. Then it was because we didn’t have anything to lose, now, well I just haven’t moved on yet. I’m sure I’ll be into it all later what it’s a bit ‘what will be will be’ atm. |  | |  |
Not sure whether to be nervous or confident about tonight on 17:57 - Aug 8 with 554 views | Bent_double | Nervous here, to be honest. No idea how good or bad Brum are, and how they will approach the game. Don't really want to say I'd be happy with a draw, but....... Will pop out to the pub and watch tonight me thinks, still seems way too early to start the footy season though! |  |

Not sure whether to be nervous or confident about tonight on 17:58 - Aug 8 with 537 views | Bobbychase | Start is key. They'll be hyped up beyond belief and it's one of the best atmospheres in England when they get going. Need to have a steady opening without giving them too many chances, and impose ourselves. Got more than enough to win the game. |  |

Not sure whether to be nervous or confident about tonight on 18:00 - Aug 8 with 517 views | bluefunk | I’m thinking back to Sunderland away 2 seasons ago, similar ‘we could do without this first’ vibe, they dominated us for at least the first 35 minutes, and I expect them to try to do the same tonight. I’m optimistic that we’ll have the better players and maybe quieten the crowd and make that tell as the game goes on. |  | |  |

I'm strangely nervous about tonight, it feels like a big game even though it isn't really. We do need the Omari situation sorted quickly for everyone involved. |  |

Either Town admin playing mind games or there’s no JP or Cajuste. Changing room vid shows shirts hung up in order, Hirst, Chaplin, Taylor, Young. |  | |  |
Not sure whether to be nervous or confident about tonight on 18:14 - Aug 8 with 387 views | Pique | Honestly, I think we're going to lose narrowly tonight. Like in 1995, they've got the momentum and we've got the hangover. In fact, although that 1995/96 season we ended up doing OK and laying the foundations for a successful few years, we were pretty slow starters. Have a feeling we might be again. Hope I'm wrong. |  | |  |

I know they're only pre-season games but I didn't see any hangover in our players in the games in Austria, Aberdeen, France etc. But you're right about their momentum. |  |

No, you're right, we've looked bang on it in preseason for the most part. Perhaps hangover is the wrong word. But it will be an adjustment for us, and there's no denying that starting in a new division above is a lot more energising than starting in a new division below. For what it's worth I think we'll be fine this season and I think we'll go up. But I also have a feeling we might need to prepare ourselves for a slow August start. |  | |  |

I am mentally prepared for some flouncing if we are not 18 points clear at the top after two games. |  |

Well that's McKenna out then. No way will we be in the semi final of either cup competition in October. |  |
