Villa Reserves and Academy 2024/25 Season

[OCD]

Interesting that Barnes was in the matchday squad Sunday.

This is mostly the U18's btw. It's the problem with scheduling it during the international break. They're missing some senior players and a lot of kids are away at their various age groups.

[Clampy]

Good luck to the kids. Tough game for them tonight. Take it we could not name mings and kamara tonight?

We could have, we just haven't.

[OCD]

Either they decided they hadn't reacted well in the last match, or they didn't want to risk them against the cloggers of Bolton.

Then why has Buendia been left out? Surely they would have given him more minutes if they wanted to include the seniors again.

Very interesting.  I think they may be ready for first team on that basis

Bolton look a lot bigger than our younglins

[Dante Lavelli]

If Ming/Kamara/Buendia can only manage 45-minutes then it’d mess up the whole game v Bolton.  My guess is there’ll be a “behind closed doors” friendly at the weekend where they can be a bit more flexible with subs etc.

ha ha first attack we score

[Dogtanian]

1-0 

[VILLA MOLE]

our keeper looks good

[john e]

Zyech having a stormer in goals so far

[VillaTim]

Our keeper is having a great game so far . Burrows on the wing looks good too.

[Percy McCarthy]

Zych outstanding. The ref though - booked him for time-wasting then added a minute at the end of the half. Couldn’t have been that bad could it?

Lovely goal.

[john e]

We’ve had
1 attack
1 time in their box
1 shot on target
1 goal

[VillaTim]

Looks like Boltons first team too

I think they have to play as close to their first team as possible or they get a fine from the EFL.
