[Albion] OFFICIAL MATCH THREAD: Albion vs Newcastle - PL Summer Series - 28th July 2023

[Eeyore]

Anyway

 

[Mancgull]

Annoying but it was our U21s out there at the end.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Ayari statuesque, but Turns as defender should have taken charge for that first goal

We've bossed the first hour of all 3 games but threw that one away.

 

[FatSuperman]

Bloody typical. I’ve got to get up in three and a half hours

Ah well, good learning experience for the youngsters

 

[ozzygull]

Hate smug Eddie, but it was only kids playing at the back. We need Dunky back soon.

 

[Eeyore]

Night night folks

 

[jcdenton08]

Yep, good run out - more confirmation of our first XI for Luton - job done.

 

[pasty]

I know it’s only a friendly but I f***ing hate Smug Eddie

 

[Napper]

Very good mostly .

Quite a drop off in quality with some of those youngsters .

Ayari not seen anything yet

Pleasing overall all be it a crap ending

 

[Farehamseagull]

Oh well, shame.

Not a great few minutes for Turns poor kid. Hopefully he’ll learn from that.

 

[London Irish]

Oh well. Kids v kids. At least theirs are playing in their actual positions. Turns can't defend sadly.

It’s a massive step up from League 2 - Ben White went through the divisions one by one

 

[Littlemo]

Well if you are going to put all the kids on at once it’s going to happen. It’s the point of friendlies though, giving players game time, getting them fit and up to speed. No big deal, at least these mistakes have happened now and not in a competitive game.

 

[Easy 10]

Chucked that in the bin didn't we, far too many changes. Doesn't matter I suppose, but still annoying. I used to hate it when Sven did that.

 

[Deadly Danson]

Out of here before the lunatic reactionaries take over.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Ayari's ball, should have dealt with it. Just standing there is unacceptable.

No, turns is the centre half he deals with it. Should never have been put in that situation to start with. This game has left a bitter taste in my mouth. We need to be beating teams like that. Maybe too many u21s at the same time with a lack of experience....but hey ho

 

[West Upper Seagull]

Some of these youngsters need to go out on loan as don’t think they’re ready for our first team squad yet - but valuable part of their development

 

[mile oak]

Terrible game management. On target for a 1-0 thrashing then gave it away literally. Too many changes causedlack of understanding. Welbeck once again proved he is World class. One of the greatest EVER to wear the shirt. Good to see us play in the stripes for a change.

 

[Morvangull]

Decent performance from our main players. We got disjointed after all the changes and this will help Roberto decide who should stay in contention and who needs a loan experience.

 

[Muzzman]

Great entertainment for a friendly. We look good, strength in depth maybe a problem. But that was a lot of different players for us.

 

[The Fits]

Shame..fun tour though.
Bit mixed. Probably best we've played first half. And then second half was just a shambles. Looks very promising for the season, especially given we are without Dunk and Solly.
Defending the whole tournament has been pretty bad. JPVH isn't great. But without Dunk we will always look short.
Hopefully we can sign at least one more experienced, quality defensive player.
Super excited for the season.
