Can those of us that weren't panicking look smug yet?
It still holds that it'd be unfair on an 18yo to build him up too much and expect that every week.

Was a great call. Shows that some managers can see a game the same way fans see them!
Can't imagine Pressley, or even managers before him, Robins aside, would have spotted that and actually done something about it
It isn't the expecting it every week. It was the writing off of him before he played when there was so much good said about him.
Just not panicking about this game, as I said before I don't think anyone would be happy with two 18yos all season. But some of the posts on here this week...yeesh
Well that was a surprise and great fun!

Willis really wasn't that bad. Wigan seemed to change the formation in the second half. Also the two central midfielders were far far better in the second half.
Possession stats must have been hugely in our favour second half
There will be a lot of excitement after this but the squad is wafer thin and already you worry with JOB injured who could step in.
They played intelligently though and given the small forward line played to its strengths.
Great atmosphere as well.
I don't think anyone has written him off, just decided to wait and see what we actually get rather than slagging him off if he turns out not to be Messi2.
Just my bloody luck. Nearly 2 months off work and I wreck my left leg as the football starts so I can't get there. But I don't care as much after a winning start although I would have loved to have been with you all.
Really looking forward to the season ahead of us now.
I really cannot understand why stokes has never made it as a professional player until now. At this level he looks more than capable.
What was his non football career?
Maybe not worth his while financially unless he got to a half decent pro level?

All the doubters you know who you are .... Go and support someone else.
congrats to the team and glad to see that the guys who bought tickets and went were rewarded , good on yer !
I'm pretty certain he played as a pro for someone (Crewe?) then got kicked out and never got any other offers. Strange.
TM has an eye for a player. Not bothered where he gets them from. Non league or a prem loan. Just why many of us have faith in TM.
To be fair it wasn't Mowbray who bought him here.
Could prove a bit of a find.

But it was TM who kept him whilst getting rid of better known players while some of us were not wanting to keep him. That is why he is a manager and we watch.
...so based on an earlier post, are me and Grendel allowed to be smug
If you want to be smug with me
I just hope this is where we can leave behind what has happened in the last bloody lots of years and unite for this season. The sky is the limit. Most of the favorites are in the bottom 4. Sheff Utd got hammered by Gillingham. We beat the team that some thought would walk this division. And it wasn't a lucky win.
Lets all sing together.
