Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder was pleased with their 1-1 draw at Bournemouth.
Billy Sharp equalised late on to earn the point.
Wilder said, "Disappointed to go behind but yet again not surprised by the way my team came roaring back. I think it was the right result.
"There is always going to be apprehension in our play, none of these boys have played at this level.
"When the bullets start flying on the first day, we have to get on with it and learn and quickly grow and I thought we did.
"It was important that today wasn't a sightseeing trip for us, it wasn't a day out, it wasn't, 'We've got to the Premier League so let's just enjoy it'," said Wilder.
"They (the fans) ambushed us on our walk through Bournemouth city centre this morning, all piled out of a boozer about 11 o'clock, so that was a bit of an experience for some of the boys.
"Delighted for them and everybody connected to the football club, it's been a long time that they've been out of the division."
