I’m optimistic how ever I am slightly concerned. If the main backline is peltier flint Morrison Bennett that’s a severe lack of pace which is going to cost us a few points. If you score two away at home you should win. We need to be beating teams like Wigan if we want to go up as champions it’s as simple as that

Only going to be a problem if we play high line so looks like we'll be playing deep with a calvary charge out by our speed merchants ?

There’s no point soaking up loads of pressure to hit on the break if you’re still going to concede 3 goals doing it. Can you see Glatzel getting 4 goals a game ? Drop Morrison and replace him with nelson for more pace or play 433 with a holding midfielder instead of a number 10. I do like warnock but his tactics are a bit off sometimes and he often gets his selection wrong. Bogle should of started yesterday he looked dangerous when he came on taking players on and even grabbing a goal, he needs to start Saturday

Agree with that. With both Flint and Slo-Mo at the back we will get caught sometimes for pace but Sir Neil knows what he's doing and it's a newish blend of players so we will get to be a hard-to-beat outfit soon enough. No need for panic.

Mmmm people here saying beaten by pace but if play deep cannot do that as forwards will be playing in front not behind Morrison or flint! When we broke yesterday we looked threatening every time and got behind them nearly every time just bad luck poor finishing stopped us winning or at least getting a draw.

Anybody who thinks the season is over needs to sit down and reflect on things, there are still 45 games left, plenty of points to be won and plenty of time to get the job done.
Don’t write us off yet, get behind NW and the lads

Last season lost to Bournemouth and ended up relegated. The previous season won our opening fixture and were promoted as we were under Malky when we won our first game. Can anyone remember when we last lost out first game and went on to have a really good season.
Obviously losing the opening game should not matter that much as there are 45 more to go but maybe the game exposed our weakness in that we have a rather creaky slow defence which will be exploited for the rest of the season. Perhaps the result is more an indication of how we will do than some are suggesting.
