Are you predicting a debut goal for Tilley ?

I would not go that far but it would be nice

I remember leaving home while I lived in Shrewsbury and watched another Albion youngster score his first goal for us at Hereford

only wish we had another like him

Delighted to see Walton in goal. I wouldn't have Best on the bench to be honest and hope we bring the youngster on at some stage
