I think that everything possible I could add has been said.
Poor first half Decent Second. Flint MOM. Both centre mids poor, but all subs good. Penalty changed the game.
And after seeing di canio knee slide along the touchline in his suit after Risser's goal I'm in love with the man.
Thats about it really..

Without wanting to read what anyone else has written...my word that was bollocks.
Flint kept us in it for 40 minutes, our strikers looked like they had concrete boots and the other centre back looked like a total fucking spaz!
But we smashed it. Brap brap brap
Where have you been Onion? Good to see you back.

cliche time, but definite game of two halves. Players looked really nervous in the first half but second half was much better. Flint was immense, Devera looked like a rabbit in the headlamps first half but was better second half. Timlin was the biggest dissapointment today. Good player, but never a winger.
Hopefully PdC didnt give them a rocket at half time but a bit of encouragement. They certainly responded. Fingers crossed that they are now over the nerves of the big expectations.

How was Kennedy today?
Good to see him in the side and interesting to see him take the penalty. It takes some nerve to step-up at 0-0 on the opening game of the season and slot a penalty home.
He looks to have bulked up a fair bit on last season and will be interesting to see how he gets on for the rest of the season.

He looked good tbf. He's always had a decent left peg, but looked solid defensively too today.
Big season for him this. If he doesn't make the left back position his now, he never will.

Kennedy looked 'shit hot'. A solid technique and some nice tattoo work going on.

Game of two halves indeed. Brilliant piece of management from PdC et al at half time to help deliver a second half like that. Thought the subs all looked great when they came on which augers well for the rest of the year. Superb depth and we're going to need it over the course of the year. Connell's got great touch and vision, Macca has bite and drive whilst @thebulldozer looked spritely as always.
Flint was a man mountain. Tims did well to give us width and showed some neat link play. Risser was immense in the second half... once he clearly stopped trying too hard. Smithy was a revelation at the back today as well. Paolo and Doardo have clearly has a major impact on his game. Mind you, I'd have been full of it tday playing behind Flint.

Risser seems to be taking a bit of flake, I think he will be more of leader than a stand out player. He admitted he was nervous and played below par especially 1st half. He was very vocal and trying his best to lift the team throughout and I think for that and his cracking goal people should give him the benefit of the doubt. After about 30 mins after ko 3 or 4 blokes sitting close to me in the Arkells were shouting across at Paolo that we were shit and what was he going to do about it ! We didn't start of very well but what a bunch of knobs. It got a bit heated around us with plenty of others letting them know their feelings. After our 2nd went in they were jumping around hugging each other, funny what drink does to some people. I was embarrassed for them ! Pissed me off big time.

Bit harsh OJ. Thought he was busy today. Some of his runs caused them real problems and certainly opened up space for others. That lad will defo get into double figures.

i liked the look of both de vita and bodin, though they're a bit similar to play together regularly. It will be interesting to see who partners the new 'big man' striker that is likely to come in. We have a plethora of options in de vita, bodin and connell as well as kerroucche but i'm not too sure what sort of striker he is? I think one will have to go out on loan, as well as a centre mid. I liked the look of mccormack i'd like to see him in the middle with risser.

Agree Kennedy was solid. Could be our set piece specialist this year.
