Reserves, Academy and Women 2019-20

You're right KRS. The women are playing Liverpool in the Womens Cup on Saturday. A double header at Villa Park would have been a great advertisement.

And would also have damaged the pitch, and caused a bit of a logistics problem dressing rooms-wise.

As UK Redsox mentioned Dave, maybe after the mens game.

I’ve been to see the team at Boldmere, they get about 3-400

Standard is fair, some good play interspersed with horrendous individual errors. It’s a great set up there and friendly atmosphere. Lots of opportunities for kids to have their pics taken with players etc.

Villa currently 2-1 up at half time. James Chester is playing.

Wright and Ramsey our scorers.

The Newcastle twitter account does updates https://twitter.com/NUFC, the Villa account offers nothing but HT and FT scores.

A Birch and a Tait on our bench. Pleasure and pain

Was at the reserves match against Newcastle tonight and Villa deserved the 3-2 .They played well and if it was not  for several bad misses from Wright and Archer would have had a handsome win .Ramsay took his goal well and the only way the toon could stop him was to do what teams do to Jack and kick him .He had to go off injured eventually it was so bad Well done Villa kids

Cam missed one chance. Wright missed over four. No-one really stood out. Cam had a quiet game by his standards but could have done with a bit better service and more awareness of his runs and movement.

[Larry Duff]

Wright missed a few chances but in the first half especially He was a constant threat to Newcastle. 
I thought Cam had a poor game and it was no surprise when He was taken off.   I do like a player who can play a telling pass and Ben Guy always impresses me.  He has a special ability to find a defence splitting pass in every game I see him play.

Thought we played very well but James Chester didn't look anywhere near First Team level and I thought Nyland should have stopped their second goal.
Jake Walker was solid at Right Back and Clarke, Ramsey and Guy all very composed in midfield.
 
Big gap between First and Second Teams now. #levels

Cam did have a quiet game by his standards as I have said before, but everyone seemed to have an off-day. Remember that Cam is still only 17 and is the only one of the U23s without a pro contract and plays at that level for an absolute pittance in comparison with all the others. He has played consistently really well for them overall since he got his chance and has shown his potential with his call-up and performance for the 1st XI in the cup game. Kodjia, for example, was absolutely dire when he last played for the U23s. Personally, Guy does very little for me and was previously played as forward but did not produce the goods so was shifted position. Regarding the gap, Clarke is 21, has been playing at U23 level for 3 years but still has not, to my knowledge, been offered a loan deal by a lower league club to get further experience. Hope this provides a little perspective.
