Quite enjoyed that, thought we looked decent and both goals were our own doing.
Robert looked excellent on the ball and the pick of the trialists, hope we sign him as he would fit in very well
let's hope he is more consistent than his brother, very good when he could be bothered, waste of a shirt when not |

I'm sure I'm being thick here but anyway - who was the Williams at centre back? Was it one of the Liverpool lads? I'm getting crap at remembering names...

OK Mr Power of triallists on show sign up Robert, big Centre Half Unit and maybe Brophy at left back then open your wallet for decent keeper, Capable Centre Half with League 1 know how and then either buy or more likely sort out loans for midfielder with bit of creativity (Kent from Liverpool) and possibly young hungry forward.(Everton or Villa boys who scored would do)
Despite Standing connection ditch Barry, and Jebb who is identikit of Rodgers

Excuse my ignorance with regard to the players but I didn't hear the team sheet nor did I bother to take a look due to there being trialists.
Basically I thought our two CB's were very good. Read balls well and had some pace too them to catch villas fast running front line. The only worry is the black lad didn't like using his left foot.
Another stand out player (apart from no 4) was the small black lad in the middle of the park. Got stuck in everywhere and played some nice simple balls. Impressed.
And our front line. Obika was sharp and strong as usual. As for Smith. Shocking. Didn't look interested at all and has a touch of a rapist.
So basically we need a new keeper. Couple of strikers and a CB for cover.

I know it was only a friendly etc but heres a couple of comments from the Villa forum about us. To be fair to Swindon, they look very good considering they've lost two very good players in Gladwin and Luongo. If they play like this every week in the league, they'll go up. We need to do better in the centre of midfield, we're keeping possession fairly well but tend to be second best when competing for loose balls but I'd put that down to fitness more than anything and the fact that Swindon probably have an extra week's worth of fitness
Swindon look so much more composed on the ball than us
We're a Premier League side (apparently), why do we look so panicky? This is Swindon ffs.
That's because Swindon are set up to pressure with intensity.
Fair play to Swindon, they pressed hard and played the ball on the floor.

The mysterious CB is Diakite - sign him up The midfielder is Traore - he has signed. Very impressive. Concur re Smith. Got to love Obika. Great feet, works his bollocks off and deserves to be first on the team sheet every week. Hylton, although not doing a great deal, has some really good control and movement. I like him. |

Obika and Hylton look good but I can't see them both getting 20 goals each.
Smith was woeful, hes either brilliant or terrible, but the last few times I have seen him hes been very poor.

The thought of sitting in a home stand surrounded by Liverpool polo shirts was enough for me to not go.
A Liverpool XI side would have interested me more than the first team anyway... But that's just me.

Hilarious. They're in Finland the day before. Anyone who thought otherwise clearly deserves to sit in a sea of plastic Scousers not knowing who half the players are. I'm with Constanza - chance for Ryan Kent's CG debut at least. |
