Without wanting to find a scapegoat and point the finger too early, you do have to wonder about the players conditioning and pre-season regime.

It's a nightmare.

Cannot believe skybet are still offering Wigan at -8 points.

Well to be honest unless we are privy to medical records and the details of said conditioning and pre-season regime and then the knowledge, skill and expertise to analyse such, I'd assume its bad luck and trust the management team in their decisions.

Exactly, people within the club i've spoke to have all had positive things to say about John Noonan and his team, maybe the truth is they're crap and the coaches and players are lying and some fans know better through presumptions and guess work !!

We've been lucky for a couple of years now with injuries....obviously at the moment that seems to have caught up on us !!

There's a lorry parked up on Leeds road just before the stadium. Lovely big poster board on the back caught my eye. ...... Apparently there's a wedding fair on at the stadium on 24th June......

looking forward to the game, no pressure to get the win as i think most expect us to get beat! be good to see the youngster though and us make a good fight of it, we need to get behind the lads

Couldn't agree more. First game I'll get to this season and I can't wait!

2 top class signings I'll get to see for the first time.
A few youngsters being blooded for a glimpse of the future.
No pressure in a game that should allow us to see what standards we need to reach.
Getting behind the team no matter what.

What's not to look forward to?
