Moral victory number one. But no points and that really is the point. I desperately want to be wrong but I think this is likley to be repeated many times this season. We will almost get a point or even almost win but this team is just not likely to be good enough. I don't know if the ball crossed the line but we were under pressure for much of the game. There was an inevitability about the outcome. I know it's one game and there's a long way to go but I think the pundits are right. I am just being realistic. Please let me be wrong and I will happily eat humble pie when these youngsters show they can beat the old pro's.

I predict a moral victory. The first of many. Lots of effort, lots of positives, getting to know each other....blah blah blah, but no points! Sorry to be a pessimist but there are no real reasons to think otherwise. Having said that, I am a fan and I can hope for anything I like. If we get off to a good start then the adrenaline and optimism could begin to flow and we might just surprise a few people.
