Thought that was a good start today against an archetypal Championship style team; Sheffield Wednesday, they wont get promoted, but they wont get relegated either, physically a big team of brutes you know & we have to be ready to deal with that.
Barton was running the show in the first half, for me Hoilett man of the match, they just couldn't handle him, especially in that first half, our midfield stood up to theirs & look, they had a lot of chances, but we had more & we were more dangerous.
Only negative for me was when they brought Shaun Wright-Phillips on near the end, our full backs today were our weakest link IMO, Traore clearly doesn't give a sh!t & we need to get him out the door, Simpson I didn't think had a great debut, but still getting used to things, overall I think people should be happy with today, lots of positives there & a good start for us.
Also have to give a lot of credit to Sheffield Wednesday fans, you just don't see support like that in The Premiership, fantastic support.
