Great result. Unlucky but I think we all felt that goal was coming the way they were attacking. We had to score first, and we did.

West Brom are gonna take some souls this season. So much attacking talent in that team.

It feels like an eternity since we deconstructed a team like that. WOW I think we just found our best 11 for the moment, the only thing ambiguous is whether Rino or Pele should be partnering Ejaria. Rino deserves to be starting but I understand Jose's tactical inclination if Pele is providing better...

Old Man Andrews Meite will sulk until January then we will sell. No way he gets back in that team.

He probably won't start but if he embraces the role of an impact sub he could still be a key player for us. Undoubtedly our first striking option off the bench

Hope Meite keeps his head up, didn't put a foot wrong today it just didn't work out

Ejaria looks like he leveled up in the offseason. We're going up and we're taking him with us!

Shoutout to Club 1871 who put in a great performance today

The quality of that movement and positioning from Puscas cannot be understated. Good cross from Swift too.

This guy could go for £15 - 20m in January at this rate.

LOL Dai ain't selling mate

We've gone out and signed strikers that actually score, I've missed this feeling

And Ejaria has a future fee of 3 million... yeah I'm thinking we're back

They started Bacuna. It's over, we've already won

Terminate Virginia's loan and Charlie Adam's contract. Onwards and upwards URZ

Aluko 2.0. Transfer fee is ludicrous if true.

It's like groundhog day being a supporter sometimes.

The more things change, the more they stay the same

Only 3 points off the playoffs!!!

I've been so beaten up by the last few seasons that the fact that we didn't concede at the beginning or the end of the half is enough to make me feel at ease

Feel like Swift is getting isolated and marked out, might be time for a bit of Charlie Adam (can't believe I'm saying that)

Great kickoff to the season. Gonna be a very exciting and competitive league this year.

Can't wait to shove it all up the pundits arses this season. You watch, ten games in, we'll be the 'surprise package' Listened to the not the top 20 podcast last night and it makes me want us to prove people wrone even more. Gonna really enjoy listening to all these morons eat crow when we're ahead...

Virginia

Yids-Miazga-Moore-Richards

Rino-Swift

Olise-Barrow-Barrett

Meite

Bench: Walker Morrison Adam East Baldock Loader Nova

1-0 win

Top half and with some quality signings we can be looking up from there

We gave Walker #1... WTAF

Very winnable game but the downside is a loss would really knock the wind out of us. Fans will be expecting a win. I think we will get it, just barely.

paultheroyal Fulham will absolutely walk the league next season - and will be a threat to our 106.

And so will Newcastle, and West Ham, and Wolves, and whatever big money club ends up in this league in the future
