We'll play a lot better and lose this season. A pretty poor performance, but we did what we needed. Those are the games where last season we probably concede a late goal - so in that respect, an improvement.
I really like Cash, looks to go forward, a good cross on him and seems to have a turn of pace - good debut. Martinez was brilliant, even without the penalty save - but that put him over the top. Watkins didn't have much to go on, but did OK.
As for the rest of them, we do seem to lack a bit of creativity in the final third. Which is surprising when we've got Jack in the side, but it would be nice to see some of the other players step up and try to create something in the final third. Yes, it's very hard when a team camps out with 10 men behind the ball, but I can't believe we only had two shots on target all game - that's outrageously bad.
But it's a win, it's a clean sheet, and we're off and running!

Sheff Utd probably the worst team to play against with 10 men as they are well organised at the back and are used to playing on the counter. We played better before they had their man sent off. Not the best performance by far, but we kept passing, got the goal and 3 points. Bang average as someone wrote - but that makes us a mid table team which is where we're at this season (hopefully).

Great to start the season with a win, great debut for Martinez and Cash. We look more solid if unspectacular but don't care tonight.

We know how priceless and hard to come by wins are so I'll take them however they come. Job done.

Three points will do nicely, though.
3 points and the first game under their belts. That'll do for me too although it sounded turgid.
Per the Beeb it's the first time we've won 3 in a row at home since 2007. Is that right?

Grealish needs to remember how good he is. We need to remember that McGinn isn't the player that dominated the second division. Trezeguet needs to remember that he gets paid for this.

Slow, lacking ideas. We need pace. Trez was poor, hopefully he’ll be replaced. Targett needs to improve his crossing. McGinn and Conor were missing for most parts. Pleased with Konsa, Cash and of course the keeper.

Job done, but we need two or three new players into that team.

I don't care how we won we won.
For the first game playing catch up that's fine with me.

Solid professional win against a niggly side. We would have lost that last year.

Great to start the season off with a win and 3 points.
As for the performance, we were awful. We looked slow, lethargic and pedestrian for the entire match. I have no idea what's happened to McGinn, but I honestly can't remember the last time he had a good game.

Ugly win but 3 points nonetheless.
Martinez the bright spot.
9th in the table.

Dreadful. Just to bright spots - Martinez will win us points, he looked very assured albeit not a lot to do aside the penalty save. And the 3 points.
Negatives - McGinn (woeful), Smith's formation (far too negative), Jack (doesn't grab hold the game like a captain needs to - clearly has the skills but does he have the mental aptitude to lead on the pitch?), and Targett / Trez (they should be ashamed of the wastefulness on the ball).
I guess we move on and hopefully improve.
