OutByEaster? Posted February 5, 2018 Moderator Share Posted February 5, 2018 And looking like a defeat, 2-0 down with a few minutes to go. O'Hare has an injury I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted February 6, 2018 Author Moderator Share Posted February 6, 2018 A particularly young Villa side slipped to a heavy defeat at playoff-chasing Brighton last night. Missing the likes of on-loan stalwarts Suliman & McKirdy, plus Cox, O'Hare & Bree, the side gave a chance to its own youth. Jake Walker made only his second appearance in a match day squad having come on in game 2 as a sub versus Stoke. He was an unused sub this time around. However, 2 other academy players were promoted to the U23 side and both made their debuts. 17 year old English central midfielder, Lewis Brunt, made the step up and came on for Corey Blackett-Taylor on 81 minutes. Six minutes later, 16 year old English attacking centre mid Jacob Ramsey came on for Khalid Abdo. Ramsey is the youngest player to be part of a matchday squad this season, eclipsing centre forward Michael Tait who played against Boro back in September (although Tait was that age back in September...). Ramsey has 4 goals and 3 assists in 12 appearances for the U18 side, so they no doubt wanted a closer look at him. The title looks like it's Blackburn's to throw away now. Especially with 2 of our strongest players (quite rightly) out on loan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted February 7, 2018 Author Moderator Share Posted February 7, 2018 I crunched the numbers, and both the starting 11 & the matchday 16 against Brighton were the youngest we've used this season in the PL2. The first 11 only averaged 17 days younger than the side who won away at Fulham in August, but when you factor in the age of the bench, the squad versus Brighton each player ON AVERAGE is a massive 118 days younger than the next youngest squad which was the one that lost 4-1 to Middlesbrough in September. Starting 11 v Brighton average DOB 06/07/98 (19y 7m 1 d) Squad 16 v Brighton average DOB 17/01/99 (19y 0m 21d) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted February 7, 2018 Moderator Share Posted February 7, 2018 And it's especially worth mentioning as Brighton fielded a 33 year old, a 32 year old and a 28 year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted February 19, 2018 Author Moderator Share Posted February 19, 2018 I've updated the table. Blackburn got 3pts from their 2 games in hand, so it's not over yet. A win this evening puts some pressure back on them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 James Bree will feature in the 7pm kick-off at Bescot Stadium, while Callum O'Hare returns to the line-up having missed out at Brighton & Hove Albion a fortnight ago. The Wolves game is one of two in the space of four days for our U23s, who also face Ipswich Town in the Premier League Cup at Keys Park on Thursday. Tickets are available on the door at Bescot.
