I'm not so upset about the fact that we lost. It's always tough to go on the road the first day of the season and get a result. No matter how sh*te the opposing team is, they and their fans are well up for the first game of the new season. It's tough for any team.
What concerns me more is that I didn't see any noticeable difference between how we played last year and how we played today. I can accept that there will be a bedding-in period while the new style of play takes effect. I'm not expecting miracles. But I do expect to see some improvement among the players. More incisive passing, more creativity, etc. There was absolutely none of that today. We looked exactly the same as we did under Kenny. Plenty of possession, no cutting edge. What else is new. The only positives from today's game were that we didn't hit the woodwork and at least one of our signings (Allen) is not a complete clown like last year's were.
