Reserves v Everton

[Legion]

FT - Villa Reserves 1-2 Everton Reserves (Juan Serrano 34, Vellios 13, Gueye 90+3)

[Chris Smith]

Even the bloody reserves are letting in late goals now.

It's The Villa Way.

[Mazrim]

It's catching, yes.

In fairness, the team was actually weakened tonight with the inclusions of Beye and Salifou rather than the impressive younger players like Weimann, Delfouneso, Bannan, Lichaj and the like who are out on loan and the youth players like Carruthers, Williams and the like who are most likely being saved for Wednesday.

[Dave Cooper please]

Yes, it was very much a reserve reserve team.

[Bad English]

He didn't think we could beat Everton.

[cdbearsfan]

Resting players in a league game to concentrate on the cups? That's not the way we do things round here!

Whatever happened to Omar Cummings?

When the final whistle went last night we had FOUR lads from u'16 on the pitch-

Salifou had decent first half but faded badly, Gary Gardner nearly scored with
an audacious overhead kick from edge of area and a thirty yard piledriver that
cleared the bar by barely an inch -

Good experience for some very young lads but KMac had face like thunder after
we conceded 93min winner -

Beye played the entire match, got booked for professional foul and fortunate not
to get marching orders when he lambasted the referee at final whistle -

Possibly wasted a last chance to close gap on Arsenal ..........3 defeats on bounce
now     

[Mazrim]

Oh well. The last time we had our typical reserve side out we absolutely bollocked Arsenal 10-1.
So if they win the league, fair play to them. We have to think about the senior team and the youth tournaments and the reserves are kind of second fiddle to that and so the team gets broken up to suit.

I bet the late goal was from a fucking corner as well!
