So..... the season opener. Are we all going???
What do we expect? Cheltenham were defensively strong last season and included the Alex in their conquests. One big problem for us last season was finishing so will we improve on that this season? It all depends on how the team are organised. We created a fair amount of chances last season despite not being particularly set up for it. With two (very) wide men and a CF who spent a lot of time tracking back to gain possession, the team should have relied heavily on advancing midfielders. However, we didn't score too many from that area. On the other hand we did have (I think) 16 or 17 different scorers so we spread it around a bit.
I believe the opening game will be very tight and not much will be open to us scoring. So my forecast for the first game of the season is 1-1.
