Yeah indeed. I’ve enjoyed all the games in the cup so far. Not sure if the players feel a little less pressure, or because the under 21 teams are maybe weaker defensively but we’ve played some exciting football.
CBT more impact in 2 minutes than Kirk in 42, sadly
Feel like Kirk has been very tidy overall actually, has moved the ball well in some tight positions and has defended well. Just does not feel like a winger, especially when you compare him to our others.

I meant more attacking impact. He is supposed to be an attacker.

Agreed. He's offered little going forward, and I don't think he has the engine to play wing back.
Not a bad first half. Villa decent going forward. More goals in this game. Hope we get more than them. CBT looks like he has the beating of their defender.
Decent team performance overall. Well taken goal from Burstow after he missed an easier chance earlier. Usual pick and mix from Watson, Arter and Morgan. Not good enough for the first team. The two centre backs Bakrin and Elerewe did pretty well. Clayden looks good until the final pass. Kirk tidy at the back but no attacking penetration. CBT will already be giving his full back nightmares after just 5 minutes. We deserve to be ahead.
That was a really enjoyable first half with both teams playing some lovely football.
This is a very talented young villa team. Lots of neat passing and always looking dangerous on the breakaways They are unlucky to be losing and charlton will do well to win this.
Forgot it was an early kick off, but started watching in time for Mason’s goal. Worth the ‘price of admission’ alone. What a great finish! He’s looking very good in open play, really nice first touch, and decent passer of the ball too.

chases the ball, high pressure then jogs back! Looks the least seasoned pro out there

AV look poor at the back but break with pace and verve. Their 36 - Archer looks like a real prospect. To be fair, our number 48 - Burstow does too!
Our midfield looks strong at this level. Arter in particular looks fired up, Morgan showing his range of passing.
Poor Charlie Kirk still looks well off it, though.
