If we keep the score respectable that would be enough for me. Can't see us winning this at all.

Agreed. Curious to see what sort of handicap the bookies give us this weekend!

I can't believe the lads won't react to how disappointed JK has been with the overall attitude. I'm not expecting them to win but they need to have a proper dig and not get bent over imo.

Given the bookies seem to quite fancy Bradford this season I can only see them giving you about 10 start although I think about 18 would be more realistic. I would take Fev with anything up to about -14, Bradford with anything more than 20 and leave anything inbetween. The bookies tend to be a long way out on some games early in the season so its worth keeping an eye on.

A handicap of only ten points and I'll bite their hand off! I'll be amazed if we can keep within ten of them.

To be fair we did OK last season and I'd say we've a stronger squad than last year.

Having said that Fev are much stronger this year as well and it's so difficult to beat them at their place.

I agree with Pumpety. I think we'll see a response after the lacklustre pre-season but we'll lose out to a stronger side. Fev by 14 for me.

Same. I expect a comfortable Fev win.
