We're back!

There was certainly a few weeks there where I seriously thought we might not make it to the start of this season. Derek Adams is back, and we officially have enough players to field a starting XI!

We open the season away to Walsall. Just a reminder, the rules/scoring remain the same as previous seasons.

2 points for correct result (win/draw/lose) then if you predicted the result correctly, 1 point for each teams’ correctly predicted score, plus 1 bonus point if you predicted both teams’ scores correctly.

Incorrect result, zero points, even if you get one of the teams’ score correct.
Any cup/trophy game that plays extra time/penalties rather than a replay, the score at the end of normal time counts.

For myself, I'm going to stick with my trusty 1-2 win to us to open the season.

3-1 loss I'm afraid. Defence still needs some work for me.

First game of the season I’m going for a 1-1 draw

Stick my neck out here, 2.1 win

Apparently Walsall haven't been great in pre season

Walsall 1 Morecambe 1

Att 5200 including 350 from Morecambe

1-1 and hopefully a decent season.

2-1 to the shrimps but in true Derek fashion we'll be clinging on for our lives in the last 10,15,20,25 ... 45 mins.

2-2 for me please.

This is bound to be a 1-2 away win for King Derek's men

COYS

Feels exactly the same as last season this, whole new team, no idea how good they are and we're playing Walsall opening day.

On paper we certainly look weaker than last season and Walsall look stronger, with this being away too I think it makes them firm favourites. I'd probably be happy with a draw but think they'll nick it.

Morecambe 1-2 Walsall

Thanks for looking after this competition again,well done! I will go 0-0 please.

2-1 loss.

Thanks to Andy for volunteering to sort out this fun competition once more. A narrow 1-0 defeat possibly, though it’s anyones guess!

A 1- 1 draw for me...

I can't get too excited, so 4-0. I hope I'm wrong as usual.

Thanks for doing the competition again!

I'm going to get off to a flier, with Morecambe getting off to a flier!

0-3

Can't wait for the season to get started!!! COME ON!

Walsall 2 v 3 Morecambe

1-2 to Derek's tricky reds.

Andy, thanks for setting this up again Here we go on another Shrimps roller-coaster ride. I'll be very happy to start with an away point, so Saddlers 1 - 1 Shrimps COYS!!!

2 - 0 Defeat

I'll go 1-1 - no idea how either team will play.

Mrs A goes 2-1 Morecambe win as usual.

Thanks for setting the league up again.

I'll show my usual optimism, and go for a 1-3 win. COYS!
