With the season just a week away, how do you think your club will fare in the opening month of the season?

For Bury I predict:

Walsall (H) - L
Sunderland (H) (LC) - L
Wigan (A) - L
Bristol Rovers (H) - D
Rochdale (A) - L

One point for us sees us around the bottom of the table. We've had a shite pre season and Lee Clark doesn't strike me as a good manager. Add in the shambles off the field and it's a recipe for disaster.

Reading (A) (LC) - L

MK Dons (A) - L
Southend (H) - D

Don't think it's the hardest start we could've had but it's tricky. From what I understand, Doncaster have a few key injury issues and I think we can take advantage of that to open up. We have a pretty good record over the last few years against Bradford but it's usually relatively tight between us, MK I think will go very well this year and will probably have too much for us, and Southend will probably be another tight affair. Cup game I'm not too fussed about, but we did have a fun run in it last season so who knows.

Think our excellent home form of the past three seasons will carry on. 7/12 points. Hope we lose both cup games.

We've 3 players out but still have a strong first eleven.

Fancy us to win both of our home games. Will be tough being the first side to visit Home Park, both their players and fans will be up for it. Rotherham is another tough test and they can't be as bad as they were the last time we played there.

Rochdale (H) - Draw (Fancy Dale to be the surprise packages this season)
Cardiff (A - Cup) - Win (Jackett takes cups seriously, Colin will likely play his third-string team)
Oxford (A) - Draw (Always difficult to play a team when their first home game is under new management)
Walsall (H) - Win (Gotta fancy us to beat them on our own turf)
Wigan (A) - Draw (Can't be losing to Cook and his former players will know the way he thinks)
Fulham (H - Trophy) - Couldn't care less

My record last season was lamentable, sometimes getting it 100% wrong so back against the above results to win bundles of cash.

That might be enough for Fergie to get the boot if we're lucky

Nothing quite feels right with us at the moment, think we're going to have a very bad start 2011-2012 championship relegation season bad start

We'll only score 1 goal in the entire month and that will be in the cup against Sheffield United as for some reason Jon Whitney cannot stop winning against them.

Whitney will be sacked before the end of August.

I bet Sheffield United fans can't wait.

7/12 in the league and into the 2nd round of the EFL Cup will do me nicely.

You were buzzing just over a week ago - what's happened so drastically that you've now had a complete 180?

We're always very slow in getting started, most of our players don't "turn up" during the first few weeks of a new season - I'll be satisfied with a point!

Middling start. We'll gain our revenge on Paul Cook upon on his return to Fratton and win 7-4.


*It might as well be because no one will bloody be there
