The second string was in action again last night. This time vs. West Bromwich Albions.
I think there were a couple of notable points worth mentioning.
1. Young Freddie Sears got four goals. His goalscoring gunpowder is still dry. Let´s hope he can continue score all the way in to the first team in a not to distant future.
2. James Collins made his first competitive game (if a second string game can be considered
competitive) since his knee injury in January. It lasted for 70 minutes before he made way for Bondz N´Gala. Hopefully he was unscatched. Welcome back Collins!
3. The team was quite experienced with players like Collins, Davenport and Bowyer on the team sheet. They were accompanied by a couple of other players with first team hopes and experience like Lopez, Collison, Reid and Sears together with highly rated youngsters like Stokes and Stech. Even though this was the case we let our quite inexperienced opposition grab three goals. One would guess it was a couple to many for the liking of the watching trio of Zola, Clarke and Keen.
4. Alex Dyer was in charge of the team according to the official site. I knew Keen was promoted to first team coach but I´ve missed that Dyer was equally promoted to reserve team coach. Or maybe is that spot still vacant?
5. In the match report afterwards we could read that both Zavon Hines and James Tomkins is on their way back from knee injuries. Tomkins has been injured quite a lot in his still relatively short career, let´s hope he can stay injury free in the future and we might see a bright one!
