15/7/08 - Worcester City (a)

[saddler13]

Grant and Reich were excellent again. Both seem to have genuine quality.

Not getting too carried away given the quality of the opposition, but I think that they would both be worth contracts (if we can afford them).

Ba played a lot better last night. Offered good, strong hold up play to alow the runners come through from midfield. Also battled well. His goal was a result of him winning the ball back from the Worcester defence. He looked a better player than Jabo unfortunately, who seemed to run a lot, without having much effect on the game.

Palmer was tidy, Suffo took his 2 goals well.

All in all, it was a comfortable win against a poor side. It'll be interesting to see how they get on against Villa next week.

[Stalky]

easy 4-0 win for us , a trialist to score a brace. :D

Impressive forecast!

Grant must be signed he is a very good player showed his grit and quality even though it was only worcester.
the type of holding player will allow mattis to push forward and use his head to score and grant should be a big help for
the centre backs

Reich is just a very calm casual player who we must try to sign he will fill that important void on the right hand side.

Suffo will be brillant at this level i think as he gets in behind defenders and is good with his head for a small guy .

Palmer will be good cover for the left as you know that boetiern injury record it will be important to have better cover than sansara or bacchus who have never played first team football.

Ba deserves a second look and looks better than iberhe to me.

I think that most of these trialists have shown enough for a contract and i thnk our squad needs these players who will also improve the squad.

[PerStener]

Oh and whats happened to stephen cooke .

He wasn't in the team because of personal reasons. According to a article in Express & Dingle Cooke is still in Mullens plans. Why I don't know as there are better options in my opinion.

At the risk of sounding like a moaner ( :wink: ), can't the club get some new pictures of Mullen? Preferably photos which make him look less like an aspiring Del Boy and more like a professional football manager and in which he doesn't wear those ridiculous tinted glasses and horrific red tie!

They look to me like photochromic lenses which means every outdoor photo will have the air of east end wide boy about them. Anyhow, I'd rather he was spending every waking moment developing our squad rather than posing for Dan Mole's digital camera, but each to his own.

Walsall fan, Alex Hartshorne of Stonnall, ran the line for 20 minutes when the assistant ref had to go off with a bad stomach

Brother of the infamous Stonnall/Coventry Saddler, I believe?

According to the o/s andy poole would like him to get in touch with him.

[Ben_Hartshorne]

that would be my brother, pedagogue. not stonnall saddlers'. shame i couldn't be there to see it.

[Exile]

Yup - Stonnall/Coventry is an Hathaway, not an Hartshorne.

An Hathaway? Wasn't she married to Shakespeare?!
