Plenty of tickets still available. The crowd should be around the
15,000 mark on Saturday. Hull are expected to bring
between an estimated 400 to 800.

Thought Byers did a better job than Celina infield. |
We were crying out for some vision in that first half and as Borja needs thru balls of little chips over top Celina has the more quality and they should have just swapped positions for 10 /15 mins to see if he could provide the spark as it happened we didn't need the change in the second half |  | | |

As you'd expect in a first game of the season, lots of rough edges and bad habits still to knock off. The way we played in the first 10-15 minutes of the second half was pleasing. I remain unconvinced about Celina out wide and would prefer him in the middle ahead of Byers.
Bidwell was solid. Probably won't excite many but will probably be quite dependable. Liked the look of Woodman. Pederson it's far too early to tell, some nice touches but will need to get to grips with the physical side.
As with last season we're 2/3 players away from being a team who can really challenge, but we shouldn't have much to worry about either. |
Good summary that Doc, for me very good 3 points from a mixed display, Bidwell looked dodgy first half but got better/stronger in the second, Celina definitely better coming in onto his right foot so left Bidwell with 2 at times when we lost the ball.
Not really dealt with our key weaknesses for me
Starting front 6 are a tad flimsy so we will get bullied away from home with that side but we lack stronger more physical options so suspect that will be the case all season.
Considering our level of both possession & time in the opposition's half we don't work the keeper enough - I note we are trying to pull the ball back more from out wide but execution needs to improve (we are also practicing that in warm up since Cooper's arrival).
Happy with the 3 points & very good to see Cooper pushing Nath up to half-way when defending corners - nothing came of it today but I've been shouting for that for many seasons! | | | |

Borja was crying out for thru balls or chip over top but byers couldn't provide that and Celina should have swapped with him after half hour. Excellent start and hopefully a striker can be added this week |
Agree with this - Baston made a lot of good runs but we didn't have anyone to play him in. Celina will do that much more effectively (IMO) than Byers and, if we do keep Baston, I expect him and Celina to develop a good understanding. |  | | |

Takes time to get used to 'new' players' style. |  |
