Reserves and Academy 2021/22

Wonder if Gerrard will be watching the U23s tonight?

He is, along with Danks, McPhee, Jedinak, Lange and some more

There's loads of them there, reckon they'll be pretty impressed with carney chuk who is a class above this Burnley side. Front 3 all looking very good as well though and Iroegbunam is mostly class but getting caught out at times.

Chuk just stole it in our box, played a 1-2 with his bro and drove right to the edge of their box, fucking brilliant play.

[paul_e]

2-1 now, Jacob Bedeau from a corner. Didn't realise he'd gone there.

[KNVillan]

2-1, former Villa player Bedeau pulls one back for Burnley

[paul_e]

3-1 another for JPB.

[paul_e]

Some ropey play at the back has meant they've had chances but we've bossed midfield and looked scary going forward. JPB and Carney Chuk are destroying them and Caleb and Archer are doing a great job of supporting them.

Carney is a ridiculous player (in a good way, he looks like he's playing on his own in a park), we absolutely need to get him signed on a long-term contract and into the first team match day squad, he could save us a fortune.

What sort of player is Carney?   Who would you compare him to?

To answer a slightly different question, if he develops as I expect he'll be the sort of player Seedorf was. By that I mean driving play from midfield but doing so whilst looking like he's out for a jog.

I've got a bad feeling that he'll bugger off somewhere else, based on nothing other than the fact we could have had him signed up by now but he's obviously not convinced otherwise he would have been 

[VILLA MOLE]

I imagine he is wanting some guarantees in playing time and a wedge of money

I agree, which is why I'd have him on the bench regularly now.

[eamonn]

Couldn't make it up. I registered for VillaTV+ to catch the Gerrard press conference live (like I imagine a few thousand others did).

So, I've just logged-on to use it for the first time since then, to be met with Mr Woodwards's tones informing me that we've just lost the pictures of the live coverage for the U23s game

I think he's been on the bench most games this season, so with that in mind I'll start a whip round

[eamonn]

Would it not have been worth giving Sanson and Davis a run-out tonight?

Sanson yes, Davis I'm not sure if he could get into this team.
