great performance by us, we were all over them and now i am feeling optimistic for the new season. Even though we conceded in the second half, i thought we looked stronger defensively, as we were relatively untroubled for most of the second half. Davies looks ready for the upcoming season, running at players and causing them all sorts of problems, plus wing to wing, davies and shuker linked up well with each other. Best player for me though was zola, without a doubt. he held up the ball well, drew numerous fouls from the stoke defence and looked comfortable when running with the ball. we could be in for a big season from him. curran, when he came on, looked lively and was another who caused problems, whilst jennings looked calm and composed, eager to receive and distribute the ball. cant really comment much on paul henry, as he didnt really touch the ball. good to see clint hill and les parry sharing a joke at the end and it was good to hear the reception both hill and simonsen received. like i said at the start, looking forward to the new season now.
