    Yeah Cirkin MotM for me too, O'Nien and Clarke not far behind for their goals and general play.

    Still think we’ve been poor today. Cardiff are atrocious.

    Cirkin and Jobe both very good today though.

    Jobe has had a good game. Seems to have acquired a bit more pace too.

    We haven't been great but been very efficient.

    We have clear gaps but 0-2 away from home, doesn't get better than that.

    Cirkin has been a cut above today stand out player by a mile.

    Jobe decent done some great defensive work to help out Neil. Browne looks like he’ll be a good player in this team too. O’nien solid game some great clearances first half and the all important opening goal.

    I wouldnt say poor as such, its always the same 1st game of the season especially with a new manager

    We will improve for sure but thats a good solid away performance

    If we can win while being poor that's a very good start.

    Both teams have injury issues and the early games are always a bit hit and miss.

    With the right additions in this window we will be challenging for promotion. I'm certain of it.

    Great win that. Agree with the Cirkin comments but also like the way Browne goes about his business. No frills, just a very good footballer.

    oh aye don’t get me wrong I’m delighted with the result and we defended well. Just felt we were a bit lax

    Great start for Le Bris. We have a system and the players understand it. The pressing is important as are the full backs. Mayenda did OK but needs to improve his press. Rusyn made an immediate difference. Add a couple of strikers to that and we will be decent. Its way early but I feel Le Bris could turn out to be a great appointment.
