Andy Munro watches Blues’ pre-season win at Northampton.
Blues continued their winning friendly run with a one-nil win against a Northampton side whose confidence should have been buoyed by their recent promotion to the first division.
In some ways it seemed like a regular day at the office but one wonders whether just one match against higher standard opposition might have been wise. Either way, it was a decent performance and probably the performance highlights belong to Long who was solid as a rock at the back, Emmanuel Longelo with his marauding runs, Ivan Sunjic, who knuckled down and looks reborn, and Jordan, James who came up trumps again in his new wide role
All the newbies looked more than useful but one wonders what will happen if the Juke gets injured and our new talented but slightly lightweight attackers come up against a typical EFL Championship ‘barn door’ central defender. However, optimism still abounds!
