Sykes header tipped over from Bell cross

Poor tackle by Tanner bring a Yellow card

Great break by Pring and Wells can't sort his feet out in the box

First 2nd half corner to WBA, comes to nowt

Best Home 45 minutes...

HT 0-0, We have been well on top, just could not find a finish. Sykes unlucky with the shot that hit the post. but Knight, Bell & Wells all guilty of not doing better with chances in the box. WBA will be pleased to get in at 0-0 and surely can't be as poor second half.

Weak shot by Wells when well found by Pring in the box

More good work to nick the ball and Sykes cross just in front of Bell

Goal saving tackle by Vyner, as WBA break

Sykes hits the post

Bell hits into the side netting, should be getting that on target.

5-1 on Corners in the first half hour tells you the balance of play, but need to find a finish

Over the bar from Naismith now, after our 5th corner

4th Corner, come on James get a decent delivery in.

Third City corner won by Wells

Wells shot deflected over the bar for a corner

shot from Wells just wide

Good run down the line by Sykes and decent cross but well claimed by their keeper

Hoping we start with Sykes right, Wells centre & Bell left. That's got to be our most effective front 3. With TGH not allowed to play, only selection question should be whether to recall Dickie to starting 11, or play Naismith there.

Find it odd that we should play a pre-season friendly against the team we open the season with in 3 weeks time and are likely to be our biggest rivals for avoiding the drop...

Hope so, still one or two short, but looking much more competitive than a month ago.

Yes certainly so. Was a bit passive in early games but today was back to his best, linking well and making things happen. Excellent.

FT 1-2, thoroughly deserved win

If he took the ball in his stride then he was in on goal
