Would have been a far more open match without the red.  We looked like we had their number early on. 

After that they just camped on the edge of their own box. At least we found a way through now, and had more chances late on.

We still looked far too one paced for most of the match but I hope/ expect we'll be a different proposition by the close of the window.

The new lads all did well. Martinez and Cash in particular.

Hopefully it will have reinforced the point that we still need a couple more new players.

Carragher reminds me of Basil Brush.

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

I don’t know it’s really hard to judge given we were a game behind them. You may be right, but I doubt that’s the high watermark for the likes of McGinn (or at least it better bloody not be!).

Cash seems good but really, if we were looking to update one of the full back positions it's astonishing we decided Targett was better than Guilbert.

We're too cautious on the edge of the opponents' penalty area, and, as someone else said, the FUCKING about trying to pass it out from the back is severely worrying, but, other than that, I really can't understand the negativity. We were composed and secure the entire game, and I can't remember that being said too often in recent years.

SKY dropped us Straight away.

Fair enough, we didn’t want any interviews, analysis anyway.

It’s the game of the century everyone, Wolves v Man City.

Thankfully there wont be many games this season where we will have that much of the ball.

Predictable, no magic. McGinn? Where's the old McGinn gone?

Not much of a spectacle but 3 very welcome points nonetheless. Keeper looks very decent and an excellent penalty save.
Not sure Cash is better than Freddie and I can’t really fathom that one. Looking forward to seeing Bertie and I’m sure there may be more signings to come yet.
I'm hoping he might play Cash in front of Freddie. Think it would be better than Trez in front of Cash.

Injury maybe?  Or perhaps he's just not that good.

It goes without saying that 3 points are welcome, but that was terrible.  McGinn played as if he'd been dragged out of the pub, to make up an 11.

Pretty unconvincing. We don't have half lack conviction and belief when the opposition go down to 10 men for some odd reason.

Mentioned it in the match thread but the game after the 0-0 at VP Sheffield United had someone sent off at Newcastle after 20 minutes and Newcastle scored 3 goals without breaking sweat.

Anyway let's at least get a more convincing performance at Fulham and hopefully we can build on the 3 points today as that and Martinez were the only real plus points.

A lot of people saying there’s an over reliance on Grealish, but sometimes I think it’s his fault. I wish he’d just release the ball to a teammate who’s in a better position more often... Found myself screaming “PASS IT!!” at the telly so many times tonight.

Positives: I think we’ve found our long term #1. Oozes confidence, assured debut.
 Cash and Watkins played well without dazzling. Mings and Konsa partnership looks to have carried on progressing from last season.

Negs: Targett - a clanger waiting to happen.
McGinn quiet,
Grealish below par and needs to trust his teammates a little more - Love him, but slowed potential attacks by holding onto ball too long tonight imo.

McGinn barrelling forward for some reason reminds me of Homer Simpson rolling like a boulder in the Simpsons' Raiders of the Lost Ark pastiche.
