The game's currently live on Facebook, of all places.

Do you have a link mate? I'm trying to find it on AVTV but they seem to have hidden it away! 

Go to facebook and put avfcofficial into the friend search and it's the link with the Villa badge.

Gracias as the Spaniard said to the hula dancer!

Damn, just get on to see Norwich score

Keinan Davis on for us, I've really liked the look of him before so interested to see how he goes here.

Seems weird not having Jack Woodwank's inane prattle on the commentary.  Did I say "Weird"? I meant "Good"! 

[paul_e]

RHM down with an injury, not sure how the challenge that caused it wasn't a 2nd yellow for their guy, really poor tackle.

and had to go off.

KMac has looked totally disinterested all night, what is he doing?

[Ron Manager]

Only watched the second half but I was impressed by Rory Hale who appears to have a chance and by Middleton the Norwich player.Did Tish play in the first half?

Yes mate

Watched second half of this, one thing that struck me was the amount of times we gave the ball away under little pressure. Pretty poor I thought and there wasn't anyone I thought stood out.

Haven't Villa sacked KMac yet, bloody useless (imo)!

Andre Green didn't exactly enhance his reputation did he?

The Under 23s have beaten Stoke today, 2 - 4 away.  .............Godzvilla!
Libor Kozák scored a brace as Villa U23s came from behind to see off Stoke City in their Premier League Two encounter at Clayton Wood.

The Potters took the lead on 16 minutes – Hakim Abdallah meeting Oliver Shenton’s cross.

Villa responded and were level soon after - Kozak converting from the penalty spot after a foul in the box.

The Young Lions were pegged back a minute into the second half – the lively Shenton firing home from the edge of the penalty area.

Once more, the visitors regrouped and levelled proceedings just four minutes later – Corey Blackett-Taylor  finishing well from close range.

Kozak grabbed his second of the afternoon with just over 20 minutes remaining – showing his predatory instincts at the back to head home a deflected cross.

In truth, the claret and blues could have extended their lead earlier, Andre Green’s thumping effort crashing off the woodwork.

Yet Green turned provider moments later – his inch perfect cross picking out Callum O’Hare to head across goal and into the right hand corner.
