Wolfie was being Wolfie by hanging around the team bus long after the players had departed inside the stadium.

Personally, I was very impressed with Guerye..plenty of ability with the ball, always on the move whether it's cutting out space or looking toreceive.Suspect we have a player here on ffirst view.Amavi started a little heisitantly, but certainly improved during the second.Richards was similary impressive, but did seem to rely on his physical attributes rather than reading the threat.

As for the rest, only Clark and Westwood looked up to pace, which isn't a concern as there's still a quarter of pre season to play out...Bacuna was particularly awful.

Maybe I'm well down the ageing process, but I've never seen anyone look as young and skin as the lad whom appeared for the final 2, whom I now know as harry mckirdy..

A definite upgrade on Jack Woodward. Is that Wolfie at 2:18?



Let's be honest, Alan Partridge is an upgrade on Woodward.

 Aaaggghhh! She says 'haitch' instead of 'aitch'.

Feel like calling Nicola Keye.

I read that the lad had raised the money to buy that banner.  I don't know if he wasn't allowed to walk round the pitch with it, but they held it up in the corner where a lot of people couldn't see it.

Great gesture though.

Have a feeling the first bloke on there is called Alan and he had(or has) the biggest drum kit collection in Britain. Sure Amfy knows him.

My Saddlers mate was impressed with the new three boys but thought Kozak was slow

Amavi looks like he may a decent cross in him? Was it at Swindon he raced through and put one across the 6-yard box that 3 Villa players missed?

I have it from a reliable source that the gent that appears at 1m30s and again 2m30s is our very own Nick aka Woofles the Wonder Dog.

Pete Colley just read out the teams...he must have got three names wrong at least.

We have Keiron Westwood in midfield for one....

No joe cole Richardson nzog gardner presume they will play tomo but it does suggest they could be for the chop! Also what's happened to Bennett?

Assume okore grealish are injured and Sanchez and guzan are still away

The squad needs some leaders
