Pre-season Friendly v Walsall

[Legion]

Minimal.

[villajk]

There wasn't really any reaction to McLeish, well I couldn't hear anything.

I think all in all the fans there tonight would be pleased with what they saw.

[VillaAlways]

What's up with delph?

Still injured I presume

[BC54 VFC]

It's Walsall on Thursday. 1-3 to us.

Bent 16
Agbonlahor 24
Petrov 67

Macken 85

Good prediction, Legion. What a crowd, 7,170, with 6K+ from Villa. Good to wach a game of football where the result doesn't really matter and some encouraging performances from young and old

[Karl Bridges]

Ireland got injured right in front of us. He jumped for a header and landed awkwardly, started to feel his leg wincing a bit and was pretty much straight off. Played well, always looking for space and the ball. Very encouraging.

[Phil from the upper holte]

Cheers, I normally go to walsall just a ball ache on a school night and I had no lift :-(

I hope Delph can put his injuries behind him this season

[Karl Bridges]

Very impressed by Burke when he came on. Looked very confident and is definitely one to look out for. 

[Dave Cooper please]

MOM Walsall Nutter.

Which spawned the chant of the match:

"Special needs m'Lord, special needs."

Not PC but very good.

[Karl Bridges]

I also liked 'You're shit, even Heskey scored'

[Dave Cooper please]

Ireland was excellent, some lovely through balls, you know, the one's we've been crying out for? Maybe McLeish also does hypnotism?
Defence were good both halves.
Bent is a natural, if only DelFonz was, he did all the hard stuff, got into all the positions, couldn't hit the proverbial cow's arse.
The team gradually morphed from a possible starting XI (and Heskey) into the yoof team, like the look of Johnson though, and not only the dreadlocks.

Oh, yes. I see this fruitball in Leamore on a regular basis. I think he lives in the William Hill betting office. Very strange person.

Excellent summation.

[Mazrim]

Fonz is definitely a good finisher. He'll get there.

[Legion]

Not today he wasn't. Awful 1-on-1 miss/great save by Jimmy Walker.

[Dave Cooper please]

Fonz is definitely a good finisher. He'll get there.

Maybe, I hope so anyway. The fact that he gets into the right positions is encouraging.
