OTF

3 points, Ba hat-trick, HBA and Marveaux some time on the pitch. All in all a tidy day.

Best with a very good first touch but horrible shot...

Great combination between HBA and Jonas, goal only saved by some good keeping.

Readying the HBA. Great reception for his return, replacing Ba.

Readying the HBA.

Heavy landing for Ba.

And they're down to 10. Professional foul picks up a second yellow. HBA... get. Him. Out. There.

HBA and Marveaux on please.

Blackburn whinging about nothing tbh. Get HBA on in 5 or so pls AP...

Good cross Tiote... Ba hat-trick

Great header form Raylor there... And gee off the cross bar there.... Looking shaky.

Good ball in from Raylor. Best back to his old heading ways...

2-1 Raylor gave the ball away with a crap pass.

Obertan doing quite well out there.

Ba again! 2-0

Great control use of body and mainly finish from Ba!

Colo... Great defending. Knew Raylor was going to struggle so got across.

Raylor moving ok now...

Great run and ball from Simpson then a good centering pass from Obertan. Raylor going to come off impact injury... Hopefully not Perch to replace!

Not the worst draw, annoying being away again though.

Damn straight..

No game is piss easy in this league, but by comparison you could barely assemble a better run of games to start a season with, and certainly couldn't expect anything better from a random draw. We should beat Blackburn IMO, but our match against them at home (I think) was a painful painful horrible horrible match to watch. If it's better than that it's at least something. That's the least I expect because to be worse would be quite remarkable.

its decent ye, if predictable What 'gangster' movie isn't?
