Ahead of Saturday’s match at the Pirelli Stadium versus Burton Albion in League One, we take a look at some of the pre-match discussions on the forum and share our two new quizzes, one of which is about the history of Burton Albion, and the other is about last season’s away match. Saturday’s referee is Edward Duckworth and the kick-off is at 17:30.
GET INVOLVED: You can discuss this match HERE, and many other topics on our 100% Imps forum! Also, have a go at both of the quizzes below (click the graphics).
Pre-match discussion on the forum:
Impish: “Burton have spent a bit of money after being quite heavily backed (I think), obviously a huge turnaround of players both in and out. On paper, it would have been one of the easier away games to start with before all this but I would definitely take a draw at the moment.”
Scotimp: “Burton have launched their ambitious Pack The Pirelli campaign, aiming to get everyone within shouting distance behind the ‘rebirth’ of Burton Albion on the opening day.
Call me a cynic, but how wrong could this go? Having their randomly assembled side of disparate ‘footballers’ taken apart (humped, if you prefer) in front of a full house could be catastrophic for them.
The machine gun has been loaded, and is pointing downwards….”
sedgleyimp: “1st game of the season is always “we really don’t know time”. Team wise we’ll be pretty much the same as we started at Harrogate assuming that Roughan is fit and Duffy allowed to play. What is certain is that we will have some good players not making the 18 match day squad.
Let’s say Burton 1 Lincoln 2 with a brace by Makama.”
PerthImp: “So difficult to predict the first game of the season – so many variables. I’d like to say Imps win, particularly with Burton having so many new players, but we don’t know how they are going to gel. Very often the first game is a draw so I’ll go with that. Steady start.”
