Aston Villa Reserves/Academy games and information

[Legion]

As requested.

Thanks Leeg. Watch it die a death now!

Anyway, reserve lineup for the game V Swansea.

Siegrist, Lichaj, Williams, Webb, Baker, Carruthers, Herd, Johnson, Cameron, Taylor, Robinson.
Subs: Grealish, Barrett, Graham, Lewis, Caira. 

Before conspiracy theorists wonder if Weimann isn't playing because of starting against Blackburn, it's because he's away with the national U21's.

HT Swansea 0-1 Villa, Robinson.

[Holte132]

FT Swansea 0-2 Villa

Did Grealish play any part? I rate him.

[cdbearsfan]

Good idea for a thread. We've got some good 'uns coming through the ranks, I reckon.

[Mike Jeffries]

Herd played all but the last three minutes and more game time for Lichaj, which is good because I think we'll need to use both at some point in the remaining games.

Anyone know why Enda didn't play (International call up maybe?).

[The Left Side]

Well done Villa babbies!

I don't think the Republic of Ireland U-21s play again until May.

[Dave Cooper please]

Might as well stick this in here as start a new thread:

Can any regular reserve and yoof watchers give me some info on how good Connor Taylor is? Tamworth have signed him on loan to the end of the season.

[Mazrim]

He's decent. Won't make it at Villa but perhaps a good championship player.

[Dave Cooper please]

Cheers Maz, good enough for Tamworth then.

The Academy team beat Norwich in saturday morning at Bodymore.  A really good performance in very windy conditions.  Jack Grealish gave us the lead from the penalty spot.  Grealish, who played off the front man was brought down after a mazy dribble for the penalty.

Norwich equalised, a little against the run of play, with a great strike from Loza but Brad Lewis soon put us back in front with a far post header from Jordan Grahams free kick.

The very impressive Grealish sealed the win with a 25 yard effort midway through the second half.

The reserves are home to Newcastle on monday evening at Villa Park at 7pm (unless they switch it to Bodymore at 11, 12, 1 or 2 O'Clock or Hinckley on monday, tuesday or wednesday)

Glad you're sticking with it mate. Give me a shout if you see me tomorrow.
