Villa Reserves and Academy 2024/25 Season

[Demitri_C]

Did the commentator just call him Aaron?

He's said it 3 or 4 times now, the bloody amateur.

Yep i noticed that too. Pretty bad. He must have the team sheets with him

Oh the irony!

Yeah because ive got brothers names wrongs and a former player that has not played for us in over 12 months.

Im good with names get it right Peter 😜

[Mister E]

Kerr Smith and Ben Broggio look talents. The latter has quite a bit of Grealish about him.

Yeah, they were the ones that stood out for me, although I was only kind of half watching. Barkley seemed to get caught in possession quite a few times, thought the lad on the left was decent as well, Patterson or somesuch. Keeper not so impressive.

I thought Kerr Smith and Todd Alcock were the stand-out players for Villa. Broggio and Patterson caught the eye as well (the latter was on the first team bench a couple of times last season, IIRC).

Had an enjoyable if bastard cold couple of hours up at Fleetwood.  Wasnt expecting any first teamers so that was a nice bonus. Played some nice stuff inbetween some sloppy play and yes, Captain Pugwash was highly amusing.

Jnr and I had a good night and I met up with a fair few "villans" from the past (North West ) and a few new Villans too - from London, Redditch, Solihull

Both Jnr and myself were engaging with the Captain Pugwash banter as well as the "Broom attack"

Well worth the drive from Formby

To all those I met on the night - thanks for making me smile !:)

It was a good away day didn't get back home until 3am but it was worth it got to meet Emi, Ross and Swinkels.

It was good to meet you last night I was the one with the crutch.

I said hello to you on the street outside ground. Nice to see you Daz.

Glad you enjoyed it. I recognised one or two faces. Thats the second time i've been now, nice little ground. Shame the club bar wasn't open, it's great in there.

Oh yeah I remember it was good to see you too great away day.

Bogarde put on as right back again, I suspect at Emery's request. But he sold himself a dud for their second and a big reason they scored it. They actually played quite well to beat the press in that move.

[Risso]

Little Emi looks beside himself with happiness to be there.

TBF, none of the goals had much of a celebration.

You'd expect more of a reaction to beating Arsenal away.

[OCD]

Could be interesting to see a fully fit Buendia playing off Watkins in the role Emery had in mind for Joao Felix.
