Good Lord. That’s some goal.

Most players making their debut as a sub in a LC game after missing a chunk of pre-season: I will get some match-fitness and get to know my team-mates.

Josh Ginnelly making his debut as a sub in a LC game after missing a chunk of pre-season: I will win the Ballon D'Or, tonight.

Should've passed it.

 

[Pegojack]

Very encouraging. Now if we can just hang on to Piroe for the season......

 

[Dr. Winston]

Ginelly is one of the players that I'm most excited about this season.

Four years without any kind of semblance of pace and width has taken a big toll on this John Hodge fan.

Should've passed it.

Fulton certainly would have , sideways or backwards.

 

[Manselton Jack]

One of the best goals scored at the Liberty, not just the strike itself but the play to get the space for the shot in the first place. He'd been quiet up until that point!
Some nice touches from our new striker, promising signs.
Joe looked sharp for an hour.
Keeper had nothing to do but nearly gave them a goal again with a rubbish pass out - slightly worrying

Josh already looking a proper weapon

Ginelly is one of the players that I'm most excited about this season.

Looked like he didn't know where he was supposed to be on the pitch most of the time he was on, which is understandable given his lack of preseason game time and the fact we were playing with wing-backs, which meant he was playing in the middle of the pitch when he should have been out wide. The goal was out of nothing, but what a strike. My boy wanted to leave when the board went up with 6 minutes on it (the second half had been deathly dull after we went 2-0 up to be fair), but was pretty happy I made us stay in the end!

Surprised how strong a team we put out. We were never ever exerting ourselves and they looked most likely to score when Rushworth gave it straight to one of their players in our area. Making 4 subs at the same time was bound to badly affect the flow of the game, but it was still alarming to see the drop off in quality once Grimes and Piroe were off the pitch.

I didn't realise Ashby was playing until the start of the second half, although he improved through the second 45 to be fair.

Abdulai was similar to the weekend, some good stuff and some bad, as you'd expect from such an inexperienced player.

Cullen was full of running and deserved a goal. 3 at the back still looked wrong to me. Cooper was everywhere and should be starting on the weekend, but the fact he played the full 90 makes me think that's not going to happen.

Some nice football on display at times tonight, much prefer us going forward with the ball and trying to attack games.

Cannot wait now for Saturday. Day out with my lad, few beers and no doubt the inevitable comedown come 5 o clock.
Baggies now lost 2 on the spin, law of averages says they'll win.
Why am I doing this to myself?

 

[Solihullswans]

fair play to ginnelly for having the bottle to try that on his debut absolute screamer son

As a testament to my reaction to seeing that goal go in, my name henceforth for our new signing is fk'inelli
