Great read. The Scowen tash line was a stand out laugh. |  |

"It seemed odd to spend the whole pre-season picking Smith or Sylla up front only to then use Mackie on day one but it was the perfect choice for this opposition and Holloway deserves credit — but that won’t work every week."
Not so sure about this to be honest. It hasn't been hard to see how Smith, despite his virtues, has hamstrung us tactically, with knock-on effects all over the park. Two roving forwards keeping the opposition defence from pushing up has to be as important to the midfield's success as the addition of Scowen. I'm confident that it's the way forward whoever we're playing, with Smith only as an emergency kitchen sink option. |  | | |

We'll see, early days, worked very well against Reading but I'm being cautious because no other Championship team plays like them. | | | |

I was still stuck in the throes of last season leading up to Saturday, suspected we'd lose it by a smidgen 1-0
looking back i'm not sure why I was worried. Reading got bullied by us at the Madjeski or whatever they call it nowadays last season and we still have all the same personnel, only more in tune with each other.
Reading were also ridiculously punching above their weight last season. Suspect they'll sink back down to midtable obscurity now but be equally as boring. Stam gone by Christmas
well done team and well done Ollie |  |

I'm sure Holloway will sign another striker this window who he'll want to partner with Washington but for yesterdays game Mackie was perfect what what was needed.
Smith and Sylla will both play a part this season though and are both good options to have. I know Smith seems to be written off at the moment but if we need a goal he's a very good option when chasing a game, a real nuisance in the box if we get the delivery right |  | | |

Looking at Matt Smith's record, he's made 88 appearances with a further 105 as sub/subbed so it suggests that for whatever reason he's been an "option" player rather than a first choice. As you say he's gives us the chance to mix things up. |  | | |

FAKE NEWS ALERT.... (penalty won, Luongo)
Pavel I think.
Appreciate if you can correct this, as soon as I start slagging Luongo off, which I will, the usual suspects will counter my argument with numbers of assists and fake ones I can do without.
....otherwise a great report. |  | | |

Fantastic!
I expected us to lose 0-1. Hope I get my predictions for the next 4 matches equally as wrong. |  |

Thanks Clive. We'll look back on the game as setting the tone for our march to fourth place. |  |
