Edmundson Back as Blues Face Stevenage
Saturday, 22nd Jul 2023 15:22

George Edmundson returns to this afternoon's team facing Stevenage at the Lamex Stadium after missing the last two friendlies with an ankle problem.

Christian Walton is on goal with Dominic Ball again at right-back with Greg Leigh on the left and Edmundson and Elkan Baggott the centre-halves.

In central midfield, skipper Sam Morsy is joined by Jack Taylor with Kayden Jackson, Sone Aluko and Kyle Edwards behind Nathan Broadhead, who looks set to be the central striker.

George Hirst was among the subs, but Wes Burns (calf), Janoi Donacien (tendon) and Harry Clarke (tendon) weren’t involved in either of this afternoon’s matches.

League One Stevenage include former Town forward Jordan Roberts in their starting line-up.

Stevenage: Hegyi, James-Wildin, Butler, N Thompson, Piergianni, MacDonald, Roberts, Smith, Reid, L Thompson, B Thompson. Subs: Ashby-Hammond, Freeman, March, Trialist, Hicks, Alexandrou, Skyers.

Town: Walton, Ball, Edmundson, Baggott, Leigh, Morsy (c), Taylor, Aluko, Edwards, Broadhead, Jackson. Subs: Slicker, Bradshaw, Foyo, Valentine. Referee: Will Finnie.

Linkboy13 added 18:52 - Jul 22 Edmundson had an ankle problem most of last season. It's disappointing because when he first came to the club he was outstanding. Maybe his days of playing regular football might be over.

He didn’t look anywhere near his best at Stevenage but that’s probably because he has missed a lot of game time due to the ankle injury and early in the pre season.
The result was immaterial to us but I bet the Stevenage boys were not going to let this get away from them and played their socks off.
Didn’t look a balanced side first half and we are missing a few with injuries and a few questionable decisions from the people in charge on the pitch - so nothing new there then.
