Any hopes that refereeing standards would be better in this league were soon doused. Ref was dogsh*t, and I'm sure his so-called assistant on the pop side was some kind of work experience wallah.

I said last week that I thought Daniels looked lazy. Twice today he was beaten in a straight race for the ball. He's a bloody full time player FFS.

Paul Clement responded to mudslinging by Darren Bent today with the comment "It isn't difficult to overlook a player who is overweight and lazy", and I suspect we're in similar territory.

Don't forget we were short of Densmore, Hannigan, Harrison, and Poole. It can only get better.

And we never win on the opening day - not done so for 5 years.

Let's have a decent turnout at Southport on Tuesday - they aren't any great shakes if they lost at Telford.

If Harrison and Hannigan played today we win the game 2-0. Both centre backs didn’t win headers for their goals.

When we get those two back we will be much stronger.

Other than that we were good.

Surely the manager's got to be making changes earlier than 80? We've got a great squad, let's use it.

I am still superstitious about which way we shoot. With bigger crowds this season we need to shoot towards the away end second half. It seems we get better results that way round and makes for a much better atmosphere.

It's one game out of 42. No need to be sounding alarm bells ffs We were by far the fitter side especially in the second half. Hulme was MoM by a mile working tirelessly up front on his own.

I've given up hoping the officials are any good at this level. They are generally all sh*te. (Fact).

Onwards to Scouseport on Tues.

Enjoyed the game, especially the 2nd half. I thought the pace of the first half was a bit flat, possibly down to the heat and 1st game of the season nerves. There were a lot of misplaced passes throughout the team but we got better and stronger as the game went on and I thought we ended the game much the better side. Probably unfair to judge any player after the first game but I didn't see Daniels as an improvement on other players who didn't make the team. I thought Leamington were solid enough without being anything special - probably be one of those teams that's hard to beat but won't win that many either.

Certainly no need for panic or sweeping changes, we'll have a better idea of things after the next 4 games.

I never felt last season that we had many attacking players on the bench who could give us something different. Seemed like it was usually Tom Peers and that was it. Same yesterday. I’m disappointed we haven’t signed a quick striker.

Give the guy a chance. How many of us start a new job and hit our peak in 5 days?. Not only has he got to blend in with the team, the team has to learn about him. For me, the jury is out.  But I will be watching this space.

Agree 100% that we'd have won yesterday had Hannigan and Harrison been playing - we need them back ASAP. Jordan Hulme was mesmerising and they simply couldn't handle him. Similarly, their full back struggled all afternoon with Connor Hampson's pace.
I'm loathe to criticise Daniels. There is a good player there, but he's simply not fit enough yet. I'd like to see Williams and Moult rotate as Harrop and Richman did last season.
Southport will be hard. They may have lost yesterday but they've got a team oozing with talent. If we get some of our first choice defenders back, we have a chance. Otherwise, it could be a long evening...

We’re so lucky to have Jordan Hulme.

I heard someone saying “send him back to Port Vale” after about 30 minutes!

I remember some wanted Nicky Clee put down after two games.

Ah, but have we? According to one column in the NLP he scored two goals for Kidderminster Harriers yesterday. They came up with an even better work of fiction in their version of the Conference South table. You'd have thought they couldn't get it wrong after just one game [per club, but check it out … It's almost worth the money to read their cock-ups!
