Who cares? 3 points.

Get in JDT! Three points and clean sheet

Sounds like we have a lot to improve on, but it is a win. I hope we get some players in now.

[Guest]

Very much a nothing game, with little to choose between the teams, but fair play to our boys, they have done the business, which is all we can ask.

[WacoRover]

YES, off to a rip roaring start, under Jon Dahl Tomasson!!! 

Thanks to Ayala, Buckley, Travis, et. al.

job well done, lads!!! 

[yankfan]

Good start. 3 points and in the end quite comfortable. Nothing too exciting about the attack. QPR really looked poor 

[JohnD]

A piss poor first 20 minutes and a wonder goal out of nowhere.

Steadily improved throughout after that.

Good to see us getting bodies in the box and getting behind the ball quickly.

Fair, must do better

Also Travis and Buckley is as a good a central midfield pairing as there is in this division. Our forward line has been disappointing today though.

More like Brereton than Dias today.

Good start to the season with   hopefully more players in soon

[Devon Rover]

Phew! Good win, that. Especially when we clearly need a few more players in. Great to see the JDT enthusiasm being carried into the season. Stunning goal by our new captain, who will hopefully be being encouraged to have the confidence to be more dynamic now (like he looked to be when he broke through, and before his ambition was shackled).

First three points on the board on day one. Well done, lads!

He clearly left an impression on them last season. 

Got no recollection of whatever horror table it was that they were talking about. 

Likely him trying to control a ball then running into someone after the ball bounced 5 yards away

Yeah agree with this. Buckley was great but I don't think any of the front four played a decent pass all game.

On the flip side Hedges, BBD, Travis and Gallagher totally bullied their midfield. Gally and Hedges had better defensive than offensive games, which is not what you want but it did play a role in the win.

QPR are a decent side and they barely got a sniff today

New era, new manager, 3 points, clean sheet. 

Still more signings to come.

Lots of room for optimism. 

 

 

[Gordon Ottershaw]

Back above the Yahoos.

Great result to start the season with. Hoping the team is bolstered asap to improve the overall quality and depth.  

[Ossydave]

Can't ask for much more than a winning start for JDT 👍

Shame the Diaz goal didn't count then we could have waved our dicks about saying top of the league, but we move.

Ayala once again proving he's one of the best in the league, just stay bloody fit lad! I still find it hard to believe he's only 31 yet I'm 40 and can train 5 or 6 days a week!

[yankfan]

Buckley and Trav could be the best central mid pairing we’ve had in 10 years. Wonder where Dack fits in

So we were defensively good out of possession? 

[neophox]

Great start to the season with a hard fought win! Nice to see a new manager who can manage. 

[Mercer]

A win is a win.

Starting season well is so important.

Clearly, we need some very good additions.

Keep saying it but confidence and momentum are everything and only long undefated runs give you that. 

[Beanie01289]

Buckley was great today always looking to go forward with the ball brave play.

[bigbrandjohn]

3 points first day of the season. Thank you very much.

   Substitution

   Substitution, Peterborough United. Hector Kyprianou replaces Sammie Szmodics. 🤔

In the role Hedges played. Dack isn't a CM.

Agree with you on Buckley/Travis. Both very underrated by our own fans for some reason.

You can only beat what’s in front of you ! 1-0 home win 3 points clean sheet keeper had nothing to save and to belt it off AC/DC ticking Ewood before kick off it’s what we needed

[ItsRoverZ]

Buzzing with the win ..definitely need a few more signings in key areas, could see how JDT wants us to play but we looked nervy at the start but grew into it 

Gallagher should be a sub not a starter
