And of course we had that win at Notts County, but today was the first home win on the opening day for 10 seasons.

Hopefully as the season progresses we can continue to gel and build on todays performance. Also force a handful of 'expert' pundits to shove their predictions up their rear end.
How long before these 'experts' change tune and start dancing to the valkeries?

Newcastle tweeted that Saturday looks like being a complete sell out. Over 50,000 sold.

Due to my dad nor being able to get me a ticket by his usual seat we ended up in the Kilner bank for what will be the only game I can get to, very enjoyable game and you get the feeling they can play better, could be a very good season.
The Ref was shocking though, several times the lino in front of us ,either flagged one way or not at all, no more than 10 foot from play with full sight of the ball, only for the ref to give it the other way when a quarter of the field away and unsightly to the ball, what's the point of linos if the refs ignore them, one of the incidents was the free kick right before Brentford scored
On the plauers
Ward: solid little to do but did it well
Smith and lowe, very good. Smiths delivery for the goal was the best cross of the game
Schindler and higg, didn't notice them in the first half,given their job means they were probably playing well
Hudson, sad to say looked a good half step of the pace and looked the weak link in the team
Mooy and payne ran the show most of the game , looks an exciting pair
Lolley, got in good positions but takes it a step too far at times
RVLP strong got into good positions ,should have scored just before Palmer did
Kachunga, ran his socks off took his goal well, needs to work on finishing
Palmer, exciting young player, good reflexes to pick up the loose ball for his goal
Paurevic didn't play long enough for me to form and opinion
Scannell wad very much what we expect from scannell

The decision to award Brentford a free kick, from which they scored was pathetic.
Doesn't excuse the defence switching off though.
