Only just spotted the thread title so I’ve changed it.

Thanks Jon, it was more than a bit cringey for the reasons outlined above.

Thought it would sound louder after the seniors game barely 24 hrs beforehand, but I guess there were less than half the amount of people in the ground.
Couple of things eamonn. I twas a very friendly atmosphere missing the hatred we have stored up for Chelsea etc. Secondly Villa fans were being very fair to the Liverpool lads. And we were really dominate, much much better team. Just wasteful otherwise it would have been a bigger loss for them. So all of this plus half of Sunday crowd impacted on noise level.

Glad you enjoyed the games, some of us will have to wait till next season. Found out last night that Russell made it back from Cayman for the 2 games, he has a very understanding wife. :)

Not sure if this has occurred to anyone else but 10 years after the last time we beat Liverpool in the FA Youth Cup final we were European Champions. Nice thought but...

Did anyone else hear that little lad in the Lower Holte last night. Sang his songs from beginning to end, often on his own. Outstanding effort.

I went for a wee at half time and I could still hear him from the concourse!
were the toilets not open?

A great night -and weekend; we really look like we're building something.

I couldn't believe that Brad Young didn't get MoM. He was a nuisance all night, could have had a hat-trick with any luck, and ran the channels all night - a teenage Ollie Watkins! Not a bad way to save yourself £30m, just grow your own.

If I was Timo Werner, I'd get on the blower to Brad and ask him how come it took a full hour before BY was blown up for offside -what's the secret, sonny?

The only two things I have against Brad is that it appears he may have a short fuse -opponents may try to take advantage of that in future. Secondly, I hate his penalty technique, but he should worry!!

I've seen Brad Young play three times this year and likened him to Jamie Vardy. He runs as hard in the third  minute as the 83rd. He has an 'edge' to him as and a reputation as a bit of a bad lad as well. Will he make the first team? ...time will tell.

Hi,Rott.

Your Jamie Vardy comparison is a good one, in that neither gives defenders any peace. I'm not sure Brad is as quick as JV, but he's not slow and works incredibly hard.

They said on BT Sport that Albion had him on their books but then released him. I wonder if that was with our 'persuasion' or was it that they just didn't rate him?

I think he left under a cloud when he was about 12. I don’t think he can give the reason why...the irony is he was released by Mark Harrison...

Great to see none of the players singing along to the national anthem; I'm sure the anti-anti-racists will be delighted to see a non-response to such a blatant attempt to introduce politics into our pure sport...
