Wasn't the first home game a 3-0 defeat to QPR with Beelzebub scoring a hatrick for them?
That was about a month in. The first home match was midweek against Liverpool. Andy Comyn played and we drew 1-1.
I used to work in Manchester with a girl who lived next door to Andy Comyn in Cheshire, she went round and got me his autograph. Fun fact, the lass I worked with told me that Comyn’s mom was one of the dancers in the Black and White Minstrels.
