attendance was just under 4000.

We were the better team and lost to a freak anthony gerrard own goal. Butler curled a beautiful 22 yarder in for our goal. good game. things are looking very good.

worth a mention that we have a habit of getting relegated after beating the baggies.

and the performance was very impressive, especially Butler and Kinsella.

My opinions for what they are worth;

Butler was impressive, very lively, looked fit, chased and stole balls from Albion players, took his goal well, could have had another in the first half.

Dobson, again I was very impressed with, tough takling, good distribution.

Westwood, looke dbetter as a right back than a centre back, did OK for me in that role.

Sam - if only he would shoot! got in some great positions, but failed to pull the trigger.

Roper & Gerrard look solid (despite Gerards misunderstaing with keeper for their winner.

Talking of Ince, I thought he did really well, came out to claim lots, what a kicker!!! That could be a weapon occassionally!

Wasn't over impressed with Bedeau, but wingers do tend to drift in and out of games.

Kinsella had a great game, looks fit and healthy, and will hopefully be a regular this season.

Dicky Dosh - I like his style, up and shouting instructions at the players, supporting, shouting at them when necessary - very vocal.

All in all a decent performance against a poor looking Albion team, the extra training showed as albion were a lot more sluggish than the Saddlers.

On that performance, bring on Division 2! Movement like that, from Butler and Sam will rip defences apart at our level. I was quite impressed.

How did Fox play today? The official site makes it sound like he got forward to create chances quite a bit. If this is true, I'm glad too hear that he's got some confidence back.
On the subject of confidence, I don't think this game could have come at a better time for Roper. At times on Wednesday, he looked far from happy so a standing ovation from the fans will have done him the world of good.

You wasn't the only one. I wouldn't say that we'd walk over League Two clubs based on a pre-season friendly, however it certainly was promising. The result didn't matter, the performance was good, but more importantly we performed great for Roper and he deserved it.

Saw this tall fella outside the ground, wearing this shocking pink shirt...

I thought it was an Ice-Cream Man.

"A ninety-nice with juice please mate", I said...

"Hold on, I recognise this bloke.... Hello Metfan, my names Kev aka KJC!"


Nice to meet you (as brief as it was), Daz!

Now I'm jealous... :shock:

You all looked a bit lonely at Half time, Cheeseybag - you, your albion friends and Kris Taylor's parents. And I hope Harry didn't eat all the Danish Pastries...like he ate all the chicken legs! :wink:
