Apart from Luton (and Newport), it has been a useful and productive exercise so far.
Apart from the matches at Luton and Newport, the pre-season was very satisfactory for Aston Villa. I was at the last match, Aston Villa 3-2 Malaga, a good entertaining game. Hopefully the good play and decent results will carry over into the season proper.
