• First opening day win in 5 years, and deservedly so in the second half.rnrnLucky (and Pickford\'s brilliance), that we weren\'t losing at half time though, that defence was carved open too easily. rnrnHeart in my mouth twice due to Branthwaite going down with a knock, I thought the season was over before it began.rnrnGeorge looks really promising, just needs an end product and he\'ll be some player. Can Armstrong train on a pitch with goal posts please. I think if he had to take a penalty, he\'d still look for a pass.rnrnOh the enigma that is Barry! Great at getting on the scoresheet, but I doubt he could win a 50/50 with Little Bo Peep.rnrnI\'m impressed how may Everton players are difficult to dispossess with the ball.rnrnPickford MotM, slightly ahead of George.rn...

• KDH the only 9 really I\'d say. Armstrong close behind! rnYou could put Rohl right up there too, he will be targeted @4 john but I think he had the licence to get forward today, against better teams he\'ll have to be more deciplined, which I\'m hoping won\'t need to happen when Angus delivers that RB!...

• Just back from the game. Not read any of the comments. I had a thoroughly enjoyable day. Couple of sketchy moments but overall I thought we played very well. rnrnThe midfield three were superb. George excellent and both full backs were great. Barry looks a different player, other than one mis-control in the 1st half. rnrnVery enjoyable match. ...
  Winston Williamson in Blues ride their luck to chalk up a good opening win
• I enjoyed the game and would also give Iliman N’Diaye, the motm, simply because he his not afraid to take the ball in dangerous area’s, when there isn’t much on. Pickford’s save was very important, I thought that the left side of our defence looked fine defensively, and although it was refreshing to see Rohl, prepared to break forward from fullback, I thought this often left us wide open defensively on the right side. Tarkowski, definitely missed having a stay at home right back because it’s clear you need pace if you aren’t getting as much defensive cover. I also liked the way George, was prepared to take the ball, and thought our young two midfielders, Armstrong and Hackney, both had decent games. I liked Hackney’s positioning in the middle of the park and I think Armstrong, will really improve the more games he plays. KDH, scored a great goal and was involved in most of the good stuff we produced and although Barry scored, I think it’s absolutely imperative we si...
