theboyangel Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 I know its only our first pre-season match, with the first team and academy players mixed together but a few thoughts Kodjia looked sharp but didn't interact with Davis at all - neither linked up together and it was a bit like playing two lone strikers Good to see Green back, again he looked fit but will have to cease checking his runs and passing the ball backwards every time. Hopefully his confidence at taking his man on will return once he gains full fitness. Was impressed with Mitch Clark, James Bree and Richie De Laet and thought Bedeau looked promising whilst on the pitch. Hourihane and Whelan both kept the game ticking in midfield nicely. We can't really judge much on the performance but a win is a win, which is probably the most positive news the club has had since the end of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LakotaDakota Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 (edited) Pleasant enough afternoon. Agree with most of what has already been said re Kodija & Davis having no chemistry at all. You would expect Davis to stand out against a team like this but he really didn't. Nothing like some of his performances last year. Thought the best player on the pitch in the 2nd half was the Telford #17 Adam Dawson, He only came on for the last 30 minutes or so but everything then went through him and he was everywhere. Some of the kids really didn't look comfortable when he started running at them Edited July 15, 2018 by LakotaDakota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At my daughter's school, the football team played in claret and blue, and their star player was called Tommy Mooney. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet he was, that's one stored for later that I am sure he will dig out when expectations are questioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
