Town boss Paul Jewell was pleased with his side’s first half display in their 3-1 victory at Den Bosch, Tommy Smith, Jason Scotland and Tamas Priskin scoring the goals. The Blues manager felt the performance drifted in what was a scrappier second 45 minutes.
Jewell said: "I thought in the first half we played well, we played some good stuff. In the second half we made a few changes and were always going to lose that rhythm.
"It’s always nice to win games, but it’s another step along on pre-season, it’s no big deal what the score is, although we want to win."
The Liverpudlian felt his side might have been further in front at the break: "We created a few chances and it probably could have been four or five at half-time.
"In the second half we tired a little bit and we made a few changes, which disrupted our rhythm and we were never quite the same and gave a bad goal away. It was just a bit scrappy in the second half, but it’s all about fitness.”
Town owner and chairman Marcus Evans was amongst those watching the Blues complete their two-game Dutch tour.
