Hold my coat They hit the woodwork twice and Pickford saved our bacon with two fantastic saves, including a penalty. We got away with murder

don’t all teams?

Absolutely nothing to fear from teams this season.

The only thing that will hamper us is not being able to keep a clean bill of health.

if we can get BMD to be a cauldron

every team will brick it

 

[tadpole]

Yes, Ndiaye !

 

[Preki]

Missed it today as at Rugby league and they put bloody palace on before the game. Great win blues!

 

[Seathestars]

Great result
Amazing stadium
Superb team effort
Fantastic support
Loved every minute, atmosphere was great, absolutely buzzing now.

I voted Keane for MoM. He's had a lot of stick and I thought he was solid today. He toe poked the ball off the foot of Mitoma who was about to put his team mate clean through while also passing it long like prime Franco Baresi, made up for him.

Man of the Match ? I missed quite a bit because of bad stream…

Watching Grealish today brought home to me the fact that we have had nobody with that kind of vision in the danger area since James. So much so, that another couple of games like that will have me calling him Jack rather than Grealish, the last player I was on first name turns with was James, and Villa Tim of course, but that's just because I can't spell his family name.

First time we’ve beat them at home in 5 attempts. Not bad

It was given Grealish. Should’ve been Pickford.

What a perfect way to open the book on the new home!

Grealish leading it on here to but if O’Riley had scored from Tarks horror back pass or Wellbad scored the (non) pen, it could have been very different outcome.

THE most important thing was to win the first competitive game at BMD so bigly kudos to the team and Moyes.
Onwards and upwards

Seeing McNeil coming off the bench really shows we now have depth in the squad. From being first pick offensive midfield (pre Ndiaye) to not a definite starter.
Plus Alcaraz the fight for places is on. And we can look at the bench that there is talent that can change it up.

So, town?

 

[blueloon]

Chuffed that Grealish played so well but gave my MoM vote to Pickford, I don’t think my heart or my team could have survived a final 17 mins or whatever with a resurgent Brighton hammering at us . Thank you Jordan

So, town?

They need to have it so the ground and surroundings means town is an after thought. Proper fan zones etc however on a cold Saturday in Feb its not as appealing ! You get me though.
