That's my biggest complaint about the official site, they just don't provide anything like enough coverage of anything below the first team. The worst thing is, I can get al lthe match details and stats I want about the first team all over the internet in far better quality so I hardly ever use the site because where it should have an advantage of keeping fans up to date on the youth teams and getting people familiar with the kids they instead post fluff about it being the birthday of someone who played for us 20 years ago.

Yeah, it’s frustrating. I don’t think it’s ever been particularly great, but there does seem to be a complete absence of anything this season. Just seems strange as I think it’s something that a reasonable portion of fans would be interested in.

I like to keep a eye on the reserves and youth teams but the club make it hard .Their lack of coverage is shocking.I did not even know until just now that the reserves played and lost at Stoke on Monday .I also noticed on the team sheet against Norwich reserves the other week that the reserves are due to play some reserve games at 7pm of a Monday night at Bodymoor Heath .If you dont drive you have no chance of watching the game

It's cause and effect. Our reserves have never been particularly well-attended; I can remember a few hundred of us dotted around the top of the old Witton Lane when other clubs were doing Family Fun Nights and getting almost as many as watched their first teams. That said, though, it must be doubly frustrating for anyone who does like to watch the junior teams to have such a diabolical lack of information.

U18s lost 3-0 at home to Fulham after going down to ten men in the first half for anyone interested.

Ended 4-1 ,UTD received a straight red after 20 odd minutes for a late tackle in the area on Wright who calmly put the pen away .Star of the show was Jacob Ramsey with a couple of goals .It was Uniteds first defeat this season Well done Villa boys
