Walsall 2-2 Man United XI -

^{The  quality of Manchester United's football was marvelous, and they deservedly took the lead mid way through the First  Half.} 

^{They stroked the ball around well and had us chasing shadows for most of the half.} 

^{Mark Kinsella made his first start and and played the "Vinny Samways Role". Trialist Joe Broad played out wide. He had a half decent game, but nothing to write home about.} 

^{We had some decent chances, Birch wasted two close range efforts . Fryatt and Taylor tested the keeper with long range shots, while Kinsella blasted two wide. Our best chance came courtesy of Steve Corica who watched his 20 yard shot have the keeper beat, but land on the roof of the net.}  

^{Paston had a shaky half. One dodgy clearance and a couple of fumbles will not have endeared him to the Walsall crowd.} 

^{We had a much better second half and really came in to our own. Steve Corica put in another fantastic midfield performance. He put a string of quality balls in to the box, and it was a matter of time before we converted one, And we eventually did when Matt Fryatt connected with a right wing cross to hammer home at the far post.}  

^{Corica was coming deep, collecting the ball and looking to create. He easily upstaged Kinsella who was replaced by Jamerson mid-way through the half.} 

^{We went on to take the lead as Matt Fryatt was brought down in the box by a late challenge. Fryatt stepped up and slotted the ball home to make it 2-0.} 

^{Young Daryl Taylor was having another good game. He looks a real threat when on the ball and has given Merse something to think about when selecting his team for the Vale game.} 

^{As the game came to an end Man United pulled one back after some slack marking allowed in Blake. All in all it had been a half decent game played between two side who liked to get the ball down and play.}

^{Man United played some of the best football I have ever seen from an opposing side at the Bescot. It was slick, quick and entertaining.}
