  We woke up for the last 5 minutes, but the majority of that half was worrying

  Ignore the first 40 mins which was pretty bad - the two passages of play that led to our goals show what is to come

  Hope you are right Lukerz. I thought that was pretty dire. We need 4 or 5 players soon or we will not be going up at the end of the season. We play sideways and backwards far too much.

  Against a team that finished 18th last season in the Championship I agree with Jorderz.
  
  Once we get our new players in it will hopefully be a lot better.

  Pablo might not score but he played a part in both goals and does a lot of work off the ball

  I missed Alvarez making pointlessly aggressive challenges

  No VAR
  
  That’s why Alvarez may like the Championship
  
  Lucky boy

  Not a good challenge, he's a bit of a liability.

  I like Avarez ,But he sure has a bad tackle in him

  Really nice goal…..we look good going forward with Bowen showing true class, I think that Taty and Bowen are going to have fun this year..they will will able to find and create space

  Taty needs to stop scoring until the window closes

  Apparently Marezi is Niallo Quinnovic

  Alvarez is just the type of player who will excel in the Championship as he will get stuck in, he hasn't become the captain of his country if he hasn't got something going for him. He got booked once in four World Cup games.

  Is he Martin Allen’s Mexican love child?
  
  Perro Rabioso?

  Most of the time Orford and Kante have no awareness of what’s going on around them.

  Will they be holding hydration breaks in the season….was not aware of it if they are
• Fortuneseeker

  Look forward to seeing there being one at Middlesbrough in January!

  Walker Peters has been excellent
• thornburyiron

  Pablo will never score for us, will he

  Agreed. My only complaint is I wish he would cross the ball sometimes.
