I know it's only the first game but defencivly I couldn't see anything different from last season we look vulnerable at the back millwall could of easily scored 3 or 4 It doesn't help when the midfield keep giving the ball away we will come up against better teams that will punish us tighten up at the back and reckon we could have a decent season.

Bridgford,

While I agree to a point with what you say, and we DID look vulnerable at the back, the big difference on last year is we DIDN'T concede 3 or 4.!

I think people need to focus on the positives and let the management team work on the negatives.

Last season, we won by a goal against promotion new-boys but shipped 3 goals. That, in itself is progress, no?

The team will improve. Lichaj is likely to come back in, a keeper seems to be on the shopping list, let's just enjoy the win for what it was; a packed house and a big, pressurised kick-off. The lads got the job done.

We will only get better. At least we're not Boro fans.

It can be very hard on opening day. At home infront of a packed crowd against a team with nothing to lose. It didn't happen for us but we still come away with 3 pts. The defence will improve as they get used to Warbos style of play. There will be games when we concede but remember this is a building season. Its the first game. Chill.

My concern is that MW didn't think to switch to a back 3 at half time. Darikwa and Traore aren't really out and out full backs and their forward play was only hampered by their defensive duties. Playing wing backs will also allow the likes of Brereton more freedom. All said though a positive start. We will score goals this season. And we will be entertained.

Some of those comments are extremely naive. We only kept a clean sheet because Millwall's finishing was poor. Warburton admitted they should have got something from the game. Having said that I like the positive approach that it looks like we'll be taking into games but he needs to learn quickly that you need more balance in midfield if you want to win games.

I think going to 3 at the back with 2 holding midfielders would allow our attacking players more freedom whilst also giving some protection to the defence.

Pass the ball you are totally correct we got lucky.
Think 3 at the back would work better.
The system warbo uses is supposed to be 433 but the reality is 451 and massive gaps between the lone striker midfield and wide men.
He doesn't pay attention to defending and you can see that in his signings.
We all know we need to sort the defence and get a defensive midfielder in and all he's done is bought more attacking players and lightweight ones at that, bar Murphy.

Spot on once again FF79, l was really disappointed in our defence, we could score 3 or 4 goals but could ship just as many. It was hard to watch such a poor defence especially as big Davie W. is a legend for us at CH and was our club captain., l couldn't believe the amount of goals we lost from cross balls set plays corners etching, our keeper got a nose bleed if he came out near the 6 yard line. Defence is not a priority to the Breadman, or it wasn't with us, not sure what DWs role was.
