Clarets seal opening day win in West Yorkshire Burnley kicked-off the new Sky Bet Championship season with a 1-0 victory after Ian Maatsen’s first-half goal earned Vincent Kompany a winning start as manager away at Huddersfield Town.

 Kompany handed out six debuts including to academy graduate Dara Costelloe who started up front.

 Maatsen struck Burnley’s opener with 18 minutes played, which proved to be the deciding moment in West Yorkshire and secured maximum points.

First-half

 Having navigated through the opening minutes, Burnley grew into the contest, and following a fine pass which found Ashley Barnes, the forward was denied from close-range by a challenge from Tom Lees.

 The Clarets forced Lee Nicholls into action soon after, with Josh Cullen’s shot from the edge of the box straight at the Terriers stopper after good work from Maatsen.

Great first half performance, these guys have some speed about them, Josh Cullen pick of the bunch, Muric dodgy clearances at times he is going to cost us a few points this season, Barnes can't play at this speed. Overall a promising start.

That was miles better than I was expecting, credit to VK and his coaches for overseeing such a transformation in playing style in such a short period of time, and to the players who took it on board and completely outplayed and outclassed Huddersfield. As we should get even better as the season progresses, it's hard not to see us in the play-offs at least.smoking smiley

I'm a little less pessimistic than I was about this season now.
I don't think anyone was expecting a first half as good that.
