Well I was pretty impressed with that, especially first half where for large periods it was hard to figure out which was the prem team, the new lads look good, especially Holness, man mountain!! great to see some determination in defence and people throwing their bodies in the way after the tame defending for the 2nd part of last season.

what pleased me was the defending, the way they threw themselves in front of some of those shots you would have thought it was a cup tie not a friendly.

I thought it was s*** Oh wrong forum...  I wasn't there due to work, it sounded as if we played well though. Did Atkins do well? The result is encouraging, even though it's the first pre-season game. I need to see the highlights, just for Weir's goal! |

hahaha, like it Reece!!
And yeah, I thought Atkins did pretty well, seemed to be louder than he has been, and made at least one very good save, the other lad seemed ok second half as well.

Downing played centre midfield with Robbie Weir. Played about 26 games for Barnet last season on loan from West Brom.
I asked about him on another board and the Barnet lot are saying he's a decent centre half but prone to errors. They were quite surprised he played in midfield yesterday...I thought he had a decent 45 minutes to be honest. Also, as has been said before, the defending yesterday was excellent.
...oh, and hello all!

Not and start...I'd be worried however if I was a villa supporter
How much of that was thier firsts yesterday???
If more than a small smattering I fear for them cos they struggled to break us down, even though it was just the first pre season friendly!!!!

It was their full first team squad, but they had around 4 key injuries, however I don't think you can tell much from the first pre season loosener. |

Anyone know why Mawene didn't play? Mawene has been released, according to Gary Rowett's post match interview. |

think Weir and Bell will make a good pairing in central midfield. impressed with Holness and O'Connor on the back line. what a scorcher from Weir, hope to see more of that. he bent the crossbar last night at Gresley!
