Me too, pace and can play wing or full back.  I thought he might have been on the bench last night.

Surprised a few more of them haven’t had their passports stamped to go to Stratford Town tonight for the ‘Derby’

I like the look of Burrowes, he's another on the brink of the senior team who just needs a big breakthrough game like JJA.

Only 17 as well.

Aston Villa’s FA Youth Cup fifth-round tie against Wrexham has been confirmed.

The Young Lions will host the Red Dragons on Tuesday, February 24 (ko 7pm) at Keys Park, home of Hednesford Town.

Villa booked their place in the last 16 of the prestigious youth competition courtesy of wins over Fleetwood Town and Doncaster Rovers.

Richard Beale’s side will now face Wrexham as they look to continue their defence of the trophy and secure a spot in the quarter-finals.

Reigning holders Villa were crowned champions last season for the fifth time in the club’s history, forming part of a memorable treble-winning campaign for the Young Lions.

Should the fifth-round tie be level after 90 minutes, extra time will be played and, if still all square, a penalty shoot-out will follow.

1-1 after extra time going to pens.

10 vs 10 after they got a red for 2 yellows and we got one a few minutes later for some silly handbags where one of our players lost his head and put their guy on the face.

Lost 5-4 on pens, I'm not sure about the one that was saved, keeper looked to have come off his line early (was a shit penalty though). I think that gets retaken at senior level.

Lost 5-4 on pens.  Meade needs a boot up the arse for his three-foot staggered run up followed by a weak shot at the goalie!  All Villa's other pens were very well taken and, tbf so were West Ham's.

Not sure why u18’s are playing extra time….surely at that age they should just go straight to pens after 90.

Ref was comical…could barely run so did most of his over officiating from the centre circle or 10 years either side :-) bubbled up a couple of times but he had no real control
