Was it worth going?

[Canonman]

Couldn't go myself but there seems to be conflicting reports about the match

 

[crabtree seagull]

Yes. Sat in the east stand for the first time. The west stand is enormous!

 

[goldstone]

On balance, probably yes. We did pretty well in the first half and were given a footballing lesson in the 2nd.

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

1st half very good game
2nd half waste of time.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Always worth going to The Amex

 

[crabtree seagull]

Thought Villarreal were a very good side. Be interesting to see where they end up in La Liga

 

[HastingsSeagull]

1st half very good game
2nd half waste of time.

This

Sign their Mexican international right winger please!

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Good game. Villareal zipped the ball round second half and looked bright and lively. We were better when the dev squad players came on in the second. Impressed with Solly March.

 

[MissGull]

Yes for the first half.

 

[del strangefish]

No. Left at Half Time.

 

[bn1&bn3 Albion]

For £12 yes..

 

[Mowgli37]

Yes, very enjoyable despite the result. Thought the link-up play down the right was very good in the first half and was impressed by March in the second.

 

[Canonman]

For £12 yes..

Yeah that was a good price. Fair play to the Albion for that.

 

[sllugaes]

I appreciate it was a friendly and patterns of play are not always like that of a true league game, BUT we did look light weight again upfront. Ulloa holds the ball up well and has ben a good signing, although for me we need a poacher. I can see us like last year - home and away (yes we made the playoffs) but I do hope we blend our possession against fast attacking football and get more bodies in the box. I so hope I am proved wrong this year.

I enjoyed it, great to be back watching footy on a Saturday few pics here if you couldn't make it

[El Sid]

Well worth it. Can't vouch for the geezer in the loud shorts to our left who buggered off on 65 minutes and the young chap to the right who spent the entire 90 minutes looking at his phone.

It takes all sorts.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Loved it as I always do at the Amex.

£125 lighter after tickets, parking, drinks, pies and a couple of Albion rain jackets but worth it in my eyes. Good experience watching us against a very good European outfit, its not like we can watch that very often.

 

[Diego Napier]

Great night out with 7 mates watching the team I love in the stadium I love and for a change not worrying about whether we win or lose

 

[Commander]

1st half very good game
2nd half waste of time.

How can getting taught a footballing lesson by a classy La Liga side be a waste of time? I'd say that is a lot more useful than rolling Whitehawk over 3-0.

Very astute point IMHO.
