For numerous reasons this is my first fixture to attend this season. And even then it is post operation and against advice that I am going.

Shoulder surgery so nothing life threatening but will be in a sling and told to avoid contact, get knocked, for a few weeks.

But I am going to sit sedately, in the stand and watch what I now hope with be a display of post regime energy and freedom of expression. 

Not gonna lie, I saw the words "post operation" and wondered for a second if we'd be calling you Barbara from now on

Hope you stayed nice and sedate when Phillips put us ahead!

No, I counted them after surgery and all present and correct.

Well that was a pleasure to see. They were up for this game and were mostly in control of the game.

Palmer was fantastic and all the players were on their game. Maybe with the exception of Asante who I doubt will be more than a bench player once Dike is back in contention.

Seeing the Albion fans in the away end from my seat in the Reading section was delightful. I love being with them cheering and changing for the Albion.

But seeing the guys from another aspect was something that made me very proud. They are loud, visually impactful and I am sure for the players a huge boost.
