This is who the triallist is. No prizes for guessing where we got him from. https://www.westbromnews.co.uk/2021/07/29/finley-thorndike-at-aston-villa-after-leaving-west-brom/.

Mat Kendrick made a joke the other day about arrivals at West Brom Academy getting a tour of Villa Park...
🤣

A year on loan has probably done Cam the world of good and will probably smash it at U23 level now.

Finley Thorndike sounds like a character from Last of the Summer Wine.

Ramsey junior was class.  He has a bit of arrogance about him and funnily enough reminds me of the other Aaron Ramsey

Agreed. He either needs a further spell on loan at a higher level or opportunities with the first team.

Any idea of the lineup for the U18s against Arsenal?

Currently one down. Are the two O'Reillys related?

Seems unlikely as came to Villa separately and and were born 6.5 months apart.

Now 2-1, another fightback on the cards? Taylor Jay-Hart scored for Villa.

Watching the highlights of the U23s there's a few things to mention:

4-5 of these Villa players are too good for U23, should either go out on loan or be training with the seniors.
Archer looks like he's bulked up a lot in the last year, looks much stronger and he really should've had a hattrick.
Us only getting 5 flatters them, we demolished them in the 2nd half.
Ramsey nearly scored one of the best goals you'll ever see, just needed to put more on the shot at the end.
The Academy grounds at BMH look incredible, the improvement in the facilities is huge and that will play a big part in us attracting the very best youngsters.

Young looked decent too. Agree Archer probably should have scored more, was a real handful as was Ramsey.

Enjoyed the U23s game a lot more than the senior one! The villa TV coverage of them is pretty good too.

Bradley Young heading to Carlisle on loan, good luck to him.
