Aston Villa U23s, Academy & Ladies - 2016/17

[Witton Warrior]

And as far as I'm aware nobody has any idea where it came from or why.

"Stiffs" meant the dead didn't it? Those not in the limelight I suppose. If you upset the Chairman you were dead to him and sent to rot...
"Crocks" was for those coming back from injury

Leicester U15s 0-3 Aston Villa U15s. Cam with 2 goals. A header and a left foot strike. Not bad for someone who's been out for 3 months!

[Larry Duff]

We are playing West Ham this morning at U18s and U16s so I am guessing Cam might get some time with the 16s. I hope to see him play soon.

He is playing today for the U16s. 11am KO. Unfortunately I cannot make it this time but his Dad will let me know how he gets on.

Is Cam related to you or someone here?

[Legion]

He is a former pupil of mine.

I watched the U18s and we lost 2-1 to Top of the League West Ham in a very exciting game.  It was also a very feisty game with two penalties and two Red cards plus many bookings.  We have a pretty useful youth Team this year but only one player who in my opinion might make the first Team.

The U16s won 2-1 on the other pitch and I spent about 15 minutes watching them.  They have some good players.

Great stuff, thank you

Harry McKirdy scored the winning goal for Stevensge today in a 2-1 away win. Assist from Henry Cowans.

Gabby has has had a good game by all accounts  and quote  " not the greatest display from the middle man ( Tish ) but still some encouraging signs " ( cracking goal apparently ).

FT: #AVFC 4-0 #BRFC. @AaronTshibola, @Rushcmpt x2 and @AndreGreen_ on target in big #PL2 win. Well done lads!

[Larry Duff]

Gabby played very well.  I'm not a fan and one of my biggest problems with him is this position He has been taking up when the opposition back four have the ball which is basically in no mans land, neither pushed up front and putting them under pressure or dropped into midfield to help out.  Last night He pushed up on them and hassled throughout showing for once desire to effect the game.
When we had the ball he was very lively coming off his marker to accept it played into feet and running at the defence or making little diagonal runs so he could be slipped in down the sides.
It remains to be seen if He has it in him to force his way back into the first Team but a fit Gabby might be useful to have at some point this season.
Just a word for his strike partner last night. Rushian was brilliant and at times unplayable.
