I wish I knew how Twitter worked so I could let that knob know what I think of him.

Best to not lower yourself to their level, you'll end up somehow seeing tweets from twats like Savage, Colin Twattum and Rodney Marsh.

True.

Villa U21 0-1 West Brom U21 - FT: Jores Okore played 90 minutes as our youngsters suffer their first defeat of the Barclays U21 Premier League Division Two campaign this evening. Andre Wright's late tap in was enough to give Albion victory in a cagey derby affair. Jordan Lyden and Libor Kozak went close for Villa while Wright and Joe Ward forced Villa stopper Brad Watkins into saves.

Good to see Okore fit for 90.

Seeing a mention in the Brum Mail today of an U21 friendly match v Burnley behind closed doors yesterday looked for a report on the OS, but found nothing, again. So went to the Burnley FC site and found a full report, except for the Viila team! Obviously written from the Burnley perspective.
Anyway from the report the team fielded was more "Stiffs" than U21. Villa won 2-1. Goals courtesy of Grealish, from a free kick, and Bacuna, a penalty. Names mentioned are:-
Siegrist, who was nutmegged for the Burnley goal. Okore, Senderos, Tiago Ilore, Richardson, Bacuna, Joe Cole, Grealish, Adama Traore, and Kozak. I make that 10 players but do not know of the 11th or any subs used.
Of interest is the report says Adama was frustrated in the 2nd half up against the Burnley captain, Luke Hendrie. He may find it harder to adapt then he or we think.

Could do with more practice games in this break to get somewhere in solving the problems that are apparent.

From what Sherwood said post match on Saturday the break will be used to get players on the perifery up to match fitness. This sounds like part of that process.

[Legion]

That should have been done before the season started.

[passport1]

Quite agree, however it would be nice if the long term injured (Oakare,Senderos,Traore,Kozak) were available for selection after the break.

[Lastfootstamper]

Kozak's been available all season, hasn't he?

[passport1]

Your guess  is as good as mine.

[Legion]

Only recently.

Quite agree, however it would be nice if the long term injured (Oakare,Senderos,Traore,Kozak) were available for selection after the break.

Senderos wasn't included in the 25 man squad
