first of the season, how exciting 

Chuffed with the win but is there any point in having a midfield.. completely bypassed. 
I actually found that quite a painful and stressful watch 😤

Grinded out the win that's the main thing, bloody tough place to go for us. Could have easily been a loss but our bench is gonna win us a lot of games this season when we're struggling

If they're pressing and hitting long diagonals then perhaps we too have to do likewise at times.

Give opponents something else to worry about and keep them guessing.

I'm sure we'll get better as the squad gets to know each other's games, and the injured lads come back.

Baxter's saved us that today some superb saves. Ground it out, McAtee looks like a proper mon, Evatt looking unreal. Let's ave it

Great win to start the season. McAtee a great addition. All the subs looked impressive. Hope Lolos isn't too injured. He looked sharp and strong with what little he had to do. Baxter save as good as a goal. A real scrap to start the season and a great three points.

Is this a man-crush, or something completely different?

It's a while since I saw a wide player do what Schön did. Proper outlet & looked to beat his man. A good, promising, start.

We know Collins is class, McAtee looks it too.

Strength in depth is already showing. Assume a few of the starters / those on the bench will switch positions once they all bed in but it’s amazing to have the options.

Just win the first game, tough place to go, don’t look too much into how we played, 3 points is key.

Change of attire 

Doesn't look a scrubber now

Thank god for the cavalry. And there's more of it over the hill with the likes of Johnston, Forino, Forrester and Dempsey if he's ever fit. Excited to see more of the new signings.

The ability to make five subs is a bonus when you are one of the bigger clubs in a division. 

Very important win in our first game after that dreadful play off final. Bring on them taffs next weekend.

Wins a win, ground it out. 
 

Baxter some superb stops. 
 

Arfield not up to much. 
 

Iredale miles off it until he went off. 
 

McAtee like the look of already 

great options off the bench 

we move on 

Credit to Evatt making changes that genuinely changed the flow of the game - something he seemed incapable of last year.

All the new boys look promising, McAtee in particular looks a handful.

Great result, better still to come.

Away from home 

Strikers score 

Keeper MOTM 

Nice

I don't think we've ever had a manager wear a polo neck before, have we?

Credit to him in some ways but he still takes risks we do not need to make ie no keeper or Centre back on the bench

Subs again we got away with it on the left hand side, but swapping Toal with Iredale is not the answer and  why oh why did he use all the substitutions........ffs keep one back

Baxter, Santos and the New Hungerian lad excellent.........Vic, Mcatee, and Matete changed it for us last 30

Baxter awesome MOM

I think it could develop into one, he looks SVELTE 

So, plan A.2 was to be able to introduce players that would start for most of the league on 70 minutes

Like it

Kelman had Iredale on toast. Thank God the manager rectified the situation with a bold move and stopped it.

We were getting overran in midfield too and he sorted that.

We were having no luck down the right and he sorted that.

Some in-game management...who'd ave thunked it eh

McAtee looks a rum'un

It bodes well

This GK decision It’s been dealt with rarely do keepers get injured…and regarding centre backs none of the others were fit. 

I’d also mention matette he had a great cameo, can dribble, can tackle, tracks back, looks edgy, Paris who?

Hang about... 

The subs won us the game , with a centre half and a goal keeper on there who knows who misses out? 
 

We won so why complain about the subs, if we kept one back and conceded what people say then ?

Evatt as a manager takes decisions and there's always some risk there, but saying we got it wrong is frankly amazing. Swapping Toal for Iredale worked as we did not concede. 
 

Was it perfect ? No, but why not talk about the positives ?
