It’s on the Villa FB page, Ive just watched it.Only brief highlights but Archers movement and strength looked good in them, decent enough pen as well, just a very good save.
He didn't do enough to make me think he could be our back up striker, really want him to prove me wrong.
"If you're ready for the second half of football LET ME HEAR YOU SCREAM!" - I don't envisage this one catching on.
Who is Revan? Good recovery right at the end to stop the shot on goal.

His touch, strength and running in the lead up to being fouled for the penalty was top drawer I thought. When he had that second chance soon after, that he dragged wide, he seemed to go into his shell a bit.

I guess it's the division of the team that deals least well with the chop-and-change inherent in friendlies. Still, yowser.Archer, mixed time of it but his movement looked seriously good, which is the most important thing as it means you'll keep getting chances. Wasn't the worst penalty either, sometimes they get saved. Some promise there for Ollie's understudy.Philogene took his goal well, really hope he'll save us a bundle.Those sprung throughballs from the midfield two are pretty devastating no? Golly.Overall, just hard to tell from friendlies, in the end. Better to win than lose though!Thanks for the analysis. Do you have a link to the highlights?

Archer had more impact on the game than Watkins
