At the end of the day, a wins a win, and we cant really ask for more than a win and keeping a clean sheet in our first game. Were we impressive? No. I was quite surprised when I got in the car after the game and heard the radio say we should have won it out the park.
Don't get me wrong, Im delighted to have won but I didn't see anything to suggest we are going to be having a great season…… just yet. Last night for me showed we are short of a striker and more importantly a player who can run at teams and open things up a bit, a JOB. Just a shame Slane sold out, as he would have been an ideal replacement.
The pitch looked fantastic, and whilst it did early doors last season, big slide tackles would always result in cavernous divots being excavated from the pitch. That wasn't the case lastnight which was very good to see.
Finally, what went on with the seat numbers in row F in the east stand? Either there has been a mess up with new number stickers or they have added in 4 extra seats. I sit in the row behind, and watching everyone struggle to find their seats, which had just been moved 4 spaces away was funny to start with, but as the game went on and more and more punters came in it really started to frustrate.
