A Baggies XI gained more valuable pre-season minutes despite a 3-1 defeat to Notts County at The Fitlife Foods Performance Centre on Saturday. Matt Ingram, Krystian Bielik, Nat Phillips, Jayson Molumby, Cole Deeming, Ollie Bostock and Barney Stewart all got through significant game-time, while Mikey Johnston also made his return from injury by playing in the first 45. The away side took a 26th-minute lead in the lunchtime kick-off thanks to Jack Evans’ curled strike from the edge of the box. But the Baggies hit back almost instantly when attacker Barney Stewart converted a first-time finish, levelling the game up before half-time.
