They bought their big guns on in the 2bd half and we definitely tired.

Some good individual performances, but overall a bit disjointed - passes going astray, players losing challenges/tackles (very reminiscent of the first team).

Rory Wilson made plenty of runs but got very little service. Borland kept things ticking over in midfield - always available and constantly  organising players around him.

I sat in the main stand and the home fans I was chatting to said that we were one of the better U21s they'd seen- and that included the likes of Spuds and Palace.

Attendance: 1959
Away fans: 149 in the away section, plus 1 elsewhere.

Markie Meade scores for the under-18s v Newcastle. Highly rated, this fella. McGrath also playing - one of our own. There’s a Ramsey on the bench, presumably Cole?

Edit: Cole it is. On after 12 minutes due to injury.

One of our lads having a bit of a paddy over taking a free-kick… and rightly so:

Wow! Won 7-1. Hat-trick for Meade, 2 for McGrath. Hopefully his dad posts clips on Facebook later if there are any.

Under 21s drew 3-3 with Sunderland. We were 3-1 up and our keeper saved 2 pens.

Wilson, Kone, Burrowes for us.

Jack McGrath one of the picks in the Guardian’s long running ‘Next Gen’ feature about up and coming talent, although their hit rate isn’t that great.

One of our own. That is to say, a Villa fan.

I think the Guardian have got it right with this one.

First pro contract for Super Jack Junior/God the younger. No pressure.
