He was sat right in front of us second half, did wonder why he was more interested in his GoPro than the game.

Seem a few missing today for the Southampton game... no Chukwuemekas, Ramsey, Bogarde, JPB, Iroegbunam... wonder if there'll be a few on the bench for the first team or at least with the first team as cover?

Also, does anyone know what's happened to Ben Chrisene? I haven't seen him in any youth team this season - is he injured?

southampton leading 2-0 at half-time but it's very much a makeshift Villa team, lots of U18s in there.

Thierry Small is one of the goalscorers. The son of Bryan Small and someone who was getting close to the Everton first team, who they didn't want to lose and he made comments about wanting to come to us in the summer. Don't know why we didn't sign him given how good he's meant to be and that left back isn't an area that we're particularly strong in through the youth set-up.

Livramento (sp?) who we were also linked with in that position looks really good too, as seen in MOTD anyway.

Smith did mention covid issues so I wonder if a bunch of them had been training with the first team and there's been a postive test or 2 so they've decided not to add thme back to the u23 squad as a precaution. It seems strange otherwise that all of the players in the U23s that you'd expect to see get the chance to train with seniors were all missing.

He's a right back and he would have blocked Kaine-Kessler's path who's well regarded and doing well at Swindon.

On missing players, I'm still waiting to see Shakepoke get any game time after he missed last season with a cruciate having signed him from Norwich's academy.

I may be imagining it but I seem to remember Chrisene picking up a bad injury.

Pedant alert - I'm pretty sure Thierry Small is a left back and can play left wing'ish.

Yeah, he is. I was replying about Livramento as he's a right back.

When is our next game in the EFL Trophy? Can't seem to find any mention of it anywhere, but that could just be because I haven't looked properly!

The group stage hasn't finished yet, the draw will be made after that. Using the last season that started and finished as planned as a template, I'd expect Villa's last 32 game to be in early December.
