    Yes - started each half ok but seem to be happy sitting back.

    Down to lack of confidence/experience or fitness?

    Feel we are going to playing a get out of jail card early if we win this.

    Lost it in midfield.

    Well we won .....

    And a clean sheet with the winner from a corner.

    Probably classic Championship.

    Three points - hard won though.
    I really hope Deeney stays...

    Not pretty but an important win with a side without many first team players.
    Pedro is a find.
    Have a good w/e all.

    Quina looks to be taking the Success role - can't stay on his feet & complains a lot. I hope Vlad coaches that out of him.

    Welcome back to Championship football. The let us play around in our own third of the field has changed to a healthy bit of get it away somewhere, anywhere. I don't think that this will be our team for the season somehow, but good to see lots of effort.

    It's a long drive home on a Friday night when you have just lost a game.

    Very much a second choice eleven. I think we have to be happy with that. Okay so we were on the back foot for a lot of the game but it was by no means backs to the wall stuff... like a decent number 7 and 8 bat seeing off the shine of the new ball, bound to be a couple of hairy moments but pretty solid all in all. If only we didn't keep giving the ball away so damned cheaply in the midfield.

    Good start but not enough controlled possession in the second half
    Pedro looks promising but needs a Deeney up front with him
    Defence looked good but Willmot looked a bit lightweight compared Cathcart and Kabasele

    What's not to like?

    Loads of players out.&
    Short pre-season.&
    New coach (again) trying to get to grips with a new league but
    Youth given a chance &
    We score off a corner &
    Keep a clean sheet.&
    Warcock looks glum &
    WE ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE!!!!

    I know, only a start but, I'll happily take it!
