Great match! Shaky first 20 minutes, but as time went along we seemed to get used to the rhythm and power the Premiership dictates. Really impressed by the maturity the lads shown after getting behind, we kept our cool well enough to get back in there and win it comfortably.
Well done to Matty, Anton, Yossi and especially Reo-Coker who all done fantastic work. Dailly did reasonable well at right-back, Konchesky seems solid enough and links up well with Matty across the line.
Harewood was quite disappointing, could have done better with the chances he had, shame Zamora didn't get a go.
Overall I'm delighted with the result, the supporters were absolutely fantastic- especially when we were behind- can't wait to be there in September.
Well done boys! Keep it up!

its on MOTD tonight as the main game
just got back, cracking game.
It was a bit shaky first 10 mins, even as fans, just seemed like it all happened so fast, everyone was jittery and couldnt get into the game. But after about 15-20 mins it felt a lot more better.
Benayon seemed a little shaky in his first game when he had the ball. But when he didnt have the ball 'oh my god!' he was an israli version of moncur, went in for every challange and won most of them! Excellent. He is also extremely unselfish, his simple plays set up 2 goals, and thats what we need, no funny business, just get the job done. Its nice to know we got someone like him in the team. He also made some extremly nice passes, and opened up the defence from midfield nicely.
Reo was shaky first half as most of the team, but second half it seemed blackburn had a huge hole in the middle, not sure if its gonna be like that for other games. Just glad we took advantage of it.
Had loads of fans behind me winging about taking teddy off at 70 mins, which i think was a great decision, not sure about newton coming on though
Mullins wasnt very good, made some dangerous passes and gave the ball away in dodgy areas. Woulda prefered noble on to be honest.
Anton, well oh my, it coulda just been rio because he was OUTSTANDING, he commaded the defence midway first half right through to the final whistle.
Kenchesky (cant be arsed to spell it right), was the new dicksy, he got in every challange and made some night runs on the left.
Daily was a rock, we need someone like him shaking up the other halfs attack.
Haerwood just chased everything and hassled everything with legs, sheringham was clever as always.
Etherington seemed like he didnt wanna run much, he made 1 or 2 runs but it seemed when he got the ball he didnt attack it as much as he used too.
Overall excelent, but i have to say blackburn were extremly poor, that being said we are now full of confidence for the next game. Lets just hope we attack it like we did today.

I thought Marlon Harewood did well. He creates havoc in the oppositions defence and whether he scores or not he does contribute. Defenders will be all over him allowing other strikers to get involved and slot it home just as Teddy did today.
I see him getting quite a few goals this season. Matty has shown that he can cope int he Premiership and the little time Noble was on he showed what class he has by close control dribbling and skill.
So far the season ahead looks very promising.

I noticed this early on with Harewood and then right at the end with Etherington. Was slightly upset he didn't score, thought he deserved to!
but he had his chance to score, he just preferd giving the ball yo matty, for a 100% goal.
didn't want to take any risks.
don't worry, he'll get his chance to score.
he just likes to give out asissts.

Most of the players on the team are playing together for a while,
Yossi is still a newbie, I reckon it will take some time for Yossi to earn their trust, and he will.
I thought the defense was tremendous today, Rover players had no time on the ball at all, if the defense can play like that everygame there is no way WHU will be relegated IMHO
