Jarrod Bowen looked as lively as anyone on his return to action after the summer break and he plans to keep things going that way.
On a stiflingly hot day he was his usual here there and everywhere self and looking fit and ready for the rest of the pre season build up.
The fella may be our best signing in many years and his late return following England duty at the end of last season made little difference to his approach and attitude.
We don’t do man of the match awards for these games but were we to he would have been right there among the contenders along with new boy Nayef Aguerd.
And he made it clear after the game precisely what his objectives are as we go into a new season whilst chatting to www.whufc. com.
His ambitions are crystal clear and following the start he made to do there’s no one betting against him failing.
He explained: “It’s been a different pre-season to normal as I’ve come in with weeks with England under my belt. It’s a different experience for me as you don’t lose as much as you usually do, but it’s still good to get the first game in – especially in this heat!
You don’t lose too much fitness but you have to keep yourself in top condition when you’re off as well to hit the ground running.
That’s my main focus for pre-season, to start the season how I finished the last one.
We’ve been back a week or ten days now, so it’s good to be back with them and play on the pitch with them too.
Personally and as a Club, we just want to keep progressing as we have done for the last two years.
For me, it’s going stride-for-stride. My two focuses on a Club level and with the national team haven’t changed – I just want to do my best for myself and this Club.
