Us, Derby and Sunderland are kicking off the new season, though everyone will be watching the latter and I suppose the pundits might have this down as an early relegation six-pointer. I say might; I honestly didn't even realise Mark Warburton had left Rangers until he popped up on my news feed the other day. I don't know much about Forest, other than that the spine of their side -- Murphy, Vaughan, Mancienne -- were all highly-rated ten years ago.

Millwall, on the other hand, have had a relatively successful window. Jed Wallace, George Saville, Jake Cooper, Conor McLaughlin, James Meredith and Ryan Tunnicliffe seem like the sort of signings I would be delighted with in any other season, but when you see Wolves splashing £15m for Portuguese internationals it's likely that if we are to succeed against the odds it will be more through spirit and organisation than quality.

Opening games always tend to put more pressure on the home side, especially if the home side is heavily expected to win, so I reckon we have a decent chance of nicking a result here.

Forest 1-1 Millwall

We looked good at home at the back end of last season so hopefully can continue that. MW has had a pre-season with the squad and we have sounded pretty good in our friendlies.

The newly promoted sides are always dangerous beasts, but would be disappointed if we weren't able to get off to a winning start.

2-0, Murphy double

I think he will do well here, though he is the only player I haven't seen much of.

He split opinion while he was at PR - if you believe the local press we were sniffing around him as well before you signed him.

Took me a while to realise there's a separate section for match day threads. Oops.

Generally we do pretty well on our trips to the City Ground. I'm happy with most of our additions too so we can definitely come away with at least a point.

Sounds like Millwall should have got all 3 points never mind unlucky not to get 1...

Watched the highlights and god knows how we didn't lose by 3 or 4

Shows how badly we need another centre back and holding mid
