Keeper Vaclav Hladky felt there were plenty of positives to be taken from the Blues’ 2-1 friendly victory over Spartak Trnava at Laa an der Thaya this morning.
The Czech was among those who played the whole of the 80-minute match against the Slovakian top flight side at Thayapark, the home of lower league Austrian club SC LAA where Town have been training this week. Sone Aluko and Marcus Harness netted the Blues’ goals.
"It was a good workout in 35 degrees and there were plenty of positives we can take,” Hladky told the club site.
"There were two really nice goals in there – we could have had more, maybe, but we’re happy. Everyone has done a good job and we can keep going from here.
"It’s been a good pre-season camp which we feel lucky to have been able to be on, so this was a good start for us.
"We have pretty much the same group of last season so it was nice to spend some more time together.
"Hopefully now we can go and see the rest of the boys get a win in the second game.”
The Blues will field a different team in this afternoon’s second friendly as they face Austrian side Flyeralarm Admira, also known as Admira Wacker, at their motion_invest Arena in Mödling at the revised time of 4pm CEST (3pm BST).
