Several first-team players were given a run-out in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Nottingham Forest's Under 23s this morning.
The two sides played out a 0-0 draw over three 20-minute periods in a fixture which replaced this evening's cancelled trip to Tamworth.
And our head coach Ian Burchnall was delighted with how the day panned out.
"We’re really grateful to Forest for accommodating us at such short notice and overall it was a good exercise," said Burchnall.
"Frank Vincent got his first 40 minutes and showed a lot of promise. He’s obviously just bedding into the system and getting to know his team-mates but it was really good for him to get those minutes under the belt. He’ll be available against Solihull and we’ll keep building him up through the league games."
Ruben Rodrigues also made his return to action by playing half of the match, while Aaron Nemane played the full hour.
We round off our pre-season preparations with a trip to Solihull Moors on Saturday.

We only ever hear good things coming out of the club now a days, everyone always seems so happy and positive. I really hope they, and we, are rewarded with a great season!

Without scoring either, half full or half empty? Cannot read too much into a training /fitness exercise

With the majority of criticism during IBs tenure firmly fixed on the defensive side of the game, it's no doubt half full with a 0-0 scoreline.
Agreed sounds nothing more than a match based fitness exercise, and certainly needed by a few players in particular.

I must say how well Vincent came over in that interview. Yet another player to say how happy he is with it here. You might say these interviews are primed, but they all seem very genuine with their answers. I am thinking he will be an energy player like O'Brien but with more skill. Maybe giving an option of playing Francis in a back three, if the need arises.
