We should go to that, if we can, then.

Just checked, Broxbourne (ninth tier) beat Yeovil one-nil.

Fair play to them. Don't fuck this up, Villa!

I had that their U18 beat their first XI, adult version, 6-1 in a pre-season friendly. 
Their team is going to be raided by the big clubs soon and coaches too I suspect.

Their first team don't look much good, bottom of their division and heading for the tenth tier of English football. Surely they should give some of their wunderkinds a go?

Not widely publicised ( understatement !) but our under 2s are playing at Naaarich tonight in the Premier League International Cup - Group E -
First Half - Norwich City U23s 1 Aston Villa U23s 2 ( a header from Davis 29 and  cracking 30 yarder from Jerrell Sellars to re-take the lead ...for us  )
I can only find updates on this Norwich site : http://www.pinkun.com/norwich-city/updates_norwich_city_u23s_v_aston_villa_u23s_1_4847249

Sounds like we deserve our lead , Matt Jarvis playing for them ( under 23?! ) , RH-M gone off due to injury.

Ended up losing 4-3 and knocked out of the competition, though I work it out that we'd have to have won by at least three to go through so it was always unlikely.

Calder playing at left back, never seen him in defence before so maybe they're trying him out as the understudy for Amavi.

Our 5 (Suliman I think) looks a decent centre half from what I've seen, always fairly competent with the ball.

Oh, and Sarkic looks a very good young keeper, confident coming off his line, good shot stopper and a big kick on him.

Suliman is a good footballer...highly thought of in the England set up too.

Can see why davis isn't playing over Gabby. Nowhere near ready.
