We are 4-0 up against a youth team and some players still look pony 🤣

Can? 6.  Do? 1.

We would have to swap out one over age player from our starting 11 to satisfy the requirements of u21 football.

I love this site.

It's an insult to have to play an u21 team.

Get some kids on to give them some first team experience. 

Good idea...🤔

But it can't be first team football against a not first team?  For a not first team.

Still significant tbf, but heartening nonetheless. Hopefully Villa will pay at least 10m for Leaburn in January

Villa down our right, Tennai goes in for the tackle but his opponent comes away with the ball, and AMB tips the ball away for a throw on the far side.

There are 6 police officers standing in the gap between the west stand and the Jimmy seed stand.

Why?

Villa player chips the ball over Tennai who concedes a free kick in the aftermath

Why?

Trying to have a sneaky smoke behind the "Bike Shed?"

Ref gets in the way so we have a drop ball?

Thanks Mr B.

So, hopefully, he doesn't break his nose again.

Oof. Villa come forward, dummy Tennai and AMB has to palm the ball away.

Sadly, aside from his well taken goal, Kirk has been the weakest link in our side. Which  is quite an achievement as he is nearly the oldest and most experienced player on the pitch.His passes have been too short, too long or too safe.

After a very shaky start with my pre match  prediction mark for Kirk of 4 maybe it’s gaining legs again. 😂

Penalty to them. 

58 slams it high, off the bar and behind

Villa Penalty

Poor from L.Watson to drag their man down for it

Lovely Conversion

Villa take the corner while the replays are going on, the ball comes in and L Watson pulls his man down in the 6 yard box to concede a penalty.

Pen gets blazed over into the Jimmy Seed.

Southbank

Stupid foul by T Watson to give away penalty. Not going up in my estimation much.
