Pre-season Friendlies Match Thread

Good to see Luke Young restored at ...ermm Leftback!

[TheEgo]

Are we really singing "shit support ma'lord" in a friendly against a team from hundreds of miles away?

would it surprise you?

I was wondering whether, unlikely though it sounds, it was a witty self-deprecating joke, given the empty seats.

No disrespect, the guys singing it, probably don't get irony!!!

[Dave Cooper please]

Not bad so far, Albrighton looks a class act once again. Can he transfer this into The Premiership? I reckon yes.

Agree on Albrighton, he's looking the part.

Always wants to be involved, as well.

to be fair he's always played his best football for us at left back.

Carew and Albrighton looking good.  Downing has still only got one foot

Me too, think he is the pick of our 'youth' much more a star in the making than Delf, who in my opinion will be another Luke Moore (hope im wrong) Allbrighton will be a star in a few years, his crossing is the best in the club

[PaulWinch again]

Ciaran Clark looks assured

[olaftab]

ITV timely replays??he said he would like to see that again Mr Producer

Do you think our fans are that bright as to attempt irony?

[Dave Cooper please]

Albrighton - Willing to run past the full-back, but just as happy to whip it in early if the situation permits.
He's got the proverbial "footballing brain" I think.

[Matt Collins]

I was quite sceptical about people's eulogising over Albrighton's crossing, but I've been really impressed so far.Better than Downing . . .

 Plus I quite like Young in behind Carew thus far too. Would Keane be better in that position or not?

[PaulWinch again]

Is Downing's shirt baggy or is he a bit heavy?

[Toronto Villa]

He is so full of confidence. By comparison, you have to wonder where all of Downing's went to. He wasn't like this playing for Boro.

[RogerS]

How do, folks.

Hope everyone has come through the close season unscathed?

OK, come on you Villa boys. Cheer me up... ;)
