Priestman got better and better as game went on.

Our movement can only get better and once the goalie gets settled in, im sure he will be fine.

Take that for our first game. Early days but upwards and onwards. Priestman and Fadinger are critical to this team. Hopefully JT is back soon.

Only 3 mins.

Hopefully we get more players in.

How HB have not scored tonight. Better teams will have a field against us.

Defence needs to wise up.

Wilson gives me the fear when defending. Slow to react.

Lets just concentrate on this game first!

Longelo for Wilson please. Wilson tries but just lacks movement and awareness.

Very early. Sharpness lacking a little. HB press on our defence has caused one or two problems. We lack a striker.

Agreed

Dont think i have seen us cross the ball as often as tonight. Certainly more direct in final third. Said misses a sitter.

European games start to early for smaller teams where they have yet to start their league games. Alot of these teams are rebuilding as their players are cherry picked on the back of a good season. Seldom will these teams enter with a settled team.

Just away to Swansea for record fee according to the record. Thats our creative spine gone, ie Watt Slattery and Just. AJ is on a hiding to nothing. I feel sorry for him, as he will get the flack. Whilst expected the clubs approach to this pre season has been niave and shocking. Nowhere near enough incomming players. Perhaps we have written europe off as there is no way our squad is big enough to deal with europe and league. Money in bank is great, but we are back to stage 1 again, in having to rebuild and have at present a very weakened team that, looks at this point, will struggle at the bottom end of the league.
