Tromsø, Villa, Tromsø Reviews

So the Tromso away game.

So it's our first game in Norway.

It's the furthest north we could possibly play a game against a professional club or a seasoned club because Tromso is very far north.

It's in the north of Norway.

The Albion were coming to this game last.

as their first competitive match, having only had the main friendlies, which were in the previous couple of weeks.

And Tromso, meanwhile, were halfway through their season.

And playing on an artificial surface, this suggested quite a bit of a leveller was likely to be the case.

It was the case.

It ended up with a 0-0 draw.

I've talked about it on the subsequent podcast, sorry, the podcast before this one, in brief.

But I wanted to get your thoughts on it.

Raymond, you've seen the highlights back, presumably, and um what did you make of the the game and uh in terms of the result as well obviously we now know we've we've won it so it didn't matter but i mean at the time did you think that was a good result well

i uh probably as with a number of fans i was following uh the stream um there was a special thing that the club uh put up for

oh yes

so uh for that swedish company link and one paid £12 for the link.

Not always the easiest thing, following it on a fairly small screen, but nonetheless, it wasn't a bad coverage.

Once or twice, the sort of director cutting from one thing to the other was

not easy, but

other than that, one got a good impression.

The Albion certainly dominated possession.

I think something like 68, 69% had 25 shots, but only six on target, but undoubtedly the better side, but it's a small pitch.

And as you mentioned, an artificial pitch, um, which isn't easy.

And it was a, you know, potential banana skin and might well have been, but for a very good save by the Bruggen, um, late on.

And, uh, fact that they had another chance that they had a couple of chances
