Not terribly confident for this one. Think Newcastle will be a much better team this term. I know we won 5-0 overall against Vitesse, but for long periods they enjoyed a lot of possession and could have scored if their strikers had been better. We certainly can't afford to be giving the ball away as we did so often over the 2 legs.

in both games, we gave up more possession in our half and in front of our back 4, than we would have seen in a long time.

 

I hope that is just a pre-season thing and not an indication of things to come

Just seen in the paper, that we have only ever won 3 out of 18 first games games of the season in the prem

 

 

 

didnt know it was that few

 

 

Coventry away

WBA Away

 

the other?

 

Pretty sure that's it isn't it? We beat Leeds 3-1 but was in the championship. Those are the only 3 opening day wins in any league for us since 1988

That's the only 2 in the prem.

 

The only other one we have had since 1992 was Leeds in 2011 in the Championship.
