Rotherham United vs Walsall - Friendly - 18/07/2009

[Atomic Rooster]

Im surprised that there were only a couple of trialists, Vincent and Till. I heard that there were quite a few africans on trial???

Decent start.

[Plastic Hawk]

Sign Jamie Vincent up for left back is Percie's call and Hughes is terrible - didn't win a header all game.

and the biggest news of the day...

ROBERTS CAME ON!!! :shock:

Yep, just had a text off my mate that went and said exactly the same thing.

Also Till is utter rubbish.

Vincent was a good player for us last time round. Assuming that he hasn't lost too much since then he'd be a decent signing. He is 34 though.

[Registered Saddler]

Second half team:
Ince
Weston, Smith, Hughes (Roberts 71), Vincent
Taundry, Mattis, Davies, Till
Deeney, Nicholls

[Jolly Johnny]

Second half team:
Ince
Weston, Smith, Hughes (Roberts 71), Vincent
Taundry, Mattis, Davies, Till
Deeney, Nicholls

I like the look of that back 4. Would be okay for league 1. Despite his age, Vincent would be a good signing IMO.

[clawtheolder]

Are Hughes or Till going to be this seasons Palmer. :wink:

I agree, he'd be solid at least.

Glad to see someone like Davies got a run out,

I know this comment is in jest, but I hope no one jumps on their backs too soon (assuming that we signed Till) Its only the first game of pre season and things need to gel a bit more

Stop Moaning and get behind the lads :D :D :D :D

This last comment is slightly tongue in cheek by the way, but still at least give em a chance

[Banksy]

didnt go to the game but the one person i know who did said Hughes looked good and that Vincent got stuck in at left back! Think i might have to go tuesday tojudge Hughes for myself.Is there news on how Parkin and O'Keefe played? Where was Jones?

[Pedagogue]

I see that we had England's no.1 referee, Howard Webb, today! :D

Young enough for the one-year contract he'd be offered. :mrgreen:

Sign him up.

I think I probably agree! Just a word of caution though. :wink:

One of very few refs that are any good.

[Northants Saddler]

Jamie Vincent - didnt he once play for us about five years ago?
Played a dozen games or more 2003 - 2004!
Or am I thinking about someone else? :?

The same one, we had him on loan at the same time we had Chris Baird too.

[Monkey_Eyd]

I have a small bet with my swift friend that the excuses that 'i couldnt get to the game because.......' , but ive got an opionion becase.........but but but... btw.....

[Welsh_Saddler]

I'm surprised at the comment that "Mattis is playing well", as he doesn't appear on the teamsheet quoted above. Can we assume that virtually a different team took the field for the second half?

I'll definitely be going to Hereford, if only to see the performance of our surprisingly good signings - as always just before the start of the season I have total (and probably unjustified) optimism...... :roll:

[Welsh_Saddler]

Sorry about that - I took the foot of page 1 to be the whole thread, not checking for a page 2 :oops: - yes, lots of substitutions at half-time. Ignore above post, except for the bit about Hereford!!!

[Pedagogue]

Any news as to why Steve Jones and Josh Craddock did not take part? I assume that they must be injured.

You gotta love that Black Country grammar.....

[We-ARE-Walsall]

Pretty drab first half. Better second half with Nicholl's and Deeney on. Clayton Ince, oh lordy.

Pretty good following from Walsall , more than I expected. Best bit of the day was talking to the steward who was a Sheffield Wednesday fan. If only all stewards were like him the world would be a better place.

[fatboyslim]

anyone who went to the game got 5 mins to do a player by player report for first half and 2nd half line-ups?

[derbysaddler]

What did folks think of Westlake, Grigg and Adkins?

potential on these lads?

Good start for Davies, we need him to come through like Bradley 0708 season.

I have got to be honest, I was unsure who some of the players were. (Terrible fan mode) Someone told me that number 22 in the first half was Grigg , to be honest he was awful, and didn't look interested. That is just an opinion on one half of football though, not writing him off for ever, before someone says it.

[derbysaddler]

Ta, interesting to see if they'll break through then this year. I'm hoping Davies will have an impact.
