The difference being, when I am wrong I am more than happy to take my hat off and admit I made a mistake.

Jodi Jones, fucking well played mate. Keep that up for the season like that and we'll smash it.

That charity bet with Hill is looking pretty ominous but at least the cause at the end is a good one.

PUSB!

Fuck me. So happy.

Fair play to Jones. That will give his confidence a massive boost. And that is one strong Duck that we have. I hppe there will be room in the team for him to start. He will shit the life out teams at this level.

But the major bonus for me is O'Brien. Confident and he can catch the ball. He seems to know when to stay and when to come for the ball. The defence seemed to cope with the long ball most of the time.

Does anyone still think Doyle wasn't a good signing?

Doyle put the ball out a couple of times but centre mid was a massive improvement

I predict Hill will have logged in to give me some shit before I've even finished playing my own pre season friendly to inform me that Jones has scored one and set one up.


I'll definitely take that though!

Great opening day result. Well done the team, well done MR and especially well done JJ. Delighted for the lad. Never doubted his skill just felt he needed some belief and better decision making. Hopefully he's turned a big corner today and his career can really kick on and we can benefit from that.

Anyone notice our keeper kicks from the floor with his right but with his left when distributing from his hands?

Just had a Luton town supporter in who was not at the game because his wife* wanted to go shopping this afternoon - "There's lots of other home matches this season you can go to" . *He said he might be looking to do a substitution if she says/does that again.

Always good to start with a win, hats off to Jodie. Impressed by O'Brien in goal and the battling when needed, considering it was practically a new team things can only get better.
I hope

It did. Bloody brilliant day. Even though I did have to queue for 40 mins for my season tickets. It seems the lady was right we did have new STs even though we didn't move. All the others around me have gone though. None of them renewed.

Brilliant. We played as a team and just looked such an organised unit the whole game. Nobody looked poor. So happy.

Steady on. It's only been one game!

But I am a little worried that I will soon become a Doyle convert if he keeps this up!

No, I hadn't. But I am going to keep a look out for this from now on

He's definately everything we've missed in a keeper for some time!

Does anyone follow that Sideways Sammy goon on twitter. Says we were dreadful for long portions of the second half, O'Brien looked nervy, Doyle couldn't pass and Hyam looked a liability. Anyone would have thought we had lost 3-0 not won 3-0!

What a muppet. If that game was indicative of O'Brien then he's the best keeper we've had since Murphy.

He looks a lot better than Burge. It was a blessing he was injured.

Great game and it was a 3-0 game. Notts county were poor and I would be dissapointed if I was a fan. Opening day I would expect a lot more. The thing is notts county will probably finish around mid table so there is worse to come than them.

Fair play to us and jones was terrific. Not to sure on Beavon and mcnulty to get the goals for promotion but now the duck is here and looked great then maybe a problem solved.

Looked solid at the back for once and never thought we were going to concede really (partly due to county being poor) centre mid looked fiery and ran their socks off.

Here is to a decent season after that.
