brommy Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Brighter second half with chances to win it. No apparent injuries so exactly what was needed from the first preseason friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Born the same week as Jhon Duran. Needs to be performing at Championship-level very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Make Pies Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 What was going on around kick off? We were still warming up when Walsall came out. I know it's the first game of preseason but that's a bit too casual. Decent run out overall. Moved the ball around well in the first half but a bit toothless up front. The kids injected some energy into the game when they came on and we played better after that. Looked shaky from corners though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is great is that they are all comfy on the ball. Yeah just ealised yesterday, from the training footage that Emery is a leftie himself!

Probably ready to go to Championship club next on loan. I think he's good enough for the Championship having watched him a few times last season.

The kick off was delayed by 10 minutes so I'm assuming our team arrived a bit late (team bus in traffic?) and were warming up around 3pm but Walsall decided to stick to their usual timing routine.

Leeroy Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 That team that started should have hammered Walsall let alone beat them but it's only a friendly and emery's results in friendlies are usually average. Sounds like the kids did well. People also need to not get a bee in their bonnet on here if someone says something they don't like or if it differs with their view, it really is very precious.

Don’t tell me how to feel! I thought it was a 3pm kick off so missed the game. First friendly all about fitness anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvfcRigo82 Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Nice pre-season game. Not bothered about the result, it's just about getting minutes into legs and also giving a chance to a few to also show what they can do. Sounds like the positives are that a few first teamers got minutes into them and also some of our youngsters impressed which is also encouraging. Very promising afternoon.

Sulberto21 Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Good run out , ground was mainly Villa - be good to get those sort of numbers for the Women’s games think we might win a few more. As expected a lot of players used some good combinations. Liked the look of O’Reilly was it? Good to see Ashley Young’s son Kadan stand on his own two feet without having his dad around. Also a lot of players in League 1/2 have come from the Premier League academies but they didn’t get the opportunity or life circumstances at the wrong time curtailed their progress. And the fitness is getting better as well as the organisation. Walsall should try and loan some of our youngsters I think they’ll do well for them. Lovely quaint ground Our Bescot .
