Quick question regarding the coverage on AVTV...........

Can you watch it on your iphone or is there a problem re flash player not being able to download ?


Download the AVFC app.

Hope that gets me an affiliate commission from Apple or Villa. It won't.

Some nice football there. Much like last pre-season it seems as if passing the ball and keeping it on the deck is the order of the day, so I'm hesitant to read too much into how we might play during the season proper.
Very interested to see how Carruthers does. A lot was hoped for him two years ago. I think he's got a bit of quality, so hopefully he's got the right attitude to push on. He could be a useful midfielder.

Seems like Bacuna and Tonev are switching wings. Would like to see Bacuna more advanced this season. I think he could be a good player for us playing wide and not worrying as much about defending.

Looks like a 4-2-3-1 so far. Cole playing behind Gabby, occasionally altering with Carruthers. Tonev and Bacuna on the wings. Plenty of movement, something we sorely lacked during the season. Again though, we saw plenty of passing and movement last pre-season.

I know it is a friendly but you can see that they know how to pass and move. Why the smeg don't we do it more in the league?

Very frustrating. I hope by the time the league comes around Roy Keane has made it very clear that if they don't keep it up, he'll give them a good old fashioned talkin to.

I love the way Joe Cole plays football. Very composed. Always aware of his surroundings. If his legs hold up I'd hopeful he'll do well for us.

You really can see as well that Cole is a quality player. If, and it is a big if, we can get a fair amount of playing time out of him he is going to be a big asset.
