Wouldn't completely dis-credit the value of this friendly. Steve Maclean and Rory Fallon might be past their best, but they are tricky customers at the best of times so would have been a useful excercise for Ellis and LRT at Centre Half.
We should be pleased with the way we handle our reserves I think - they always seem to pick up results, whether its in the reserve league or in say the friendly at WSM. I think it shows we have some players who aren't a million miles away from being able to step up.
I'd really like to see Halpin and Macklin given starts on the wing at Cheltenham, see what they can do. Along with Ellis at Centre back, and maybe look to give Spear, Yeoman some time from the bench.
This also begs the question - I assume Leadbitter is still struggling with injury?
