Just a question, @Unused Sub, I notice 'Meek' on the bench.  Is that Sam Meek ?  As in our goalkeeping coach Sam Meek?

It said Sam Meek on the teamsheet, so I assume its the same chap. That will knacker the average age a bit! 

Interesting that in the previous round that we had no GK on the bench.

Well they do say 'The Meek will inherit the ... academy goalkeeping substitutes jersey'.  Or words to that effect.

 

From last October...
This man is temporarily helping Dean Smith as Aston Villa seek backroom appointment

Quote

Smith is on the look out for a goalkeeping coach as Villa are lacking in that department since Gary Walsh followed Steve Bruce out of the door.

Sam Meek, the lead academy goalkeeping coach at Bodymoor Heath, is currently helping out the first team on a temporary basis.

Meek, formerly of Bolton Wanderers and rivals Birmingham City, has been working with Orjan Nyland, Andre Moreira, Mark Bunn and Matija Sarkic.

Smith arrived at Villa Park the Wednesday before last, and brought assistant boss Richard O’Kelly with him from Brentford.

“We haven’t at the moment. We’ve got Sam Meek [academy keeper coach] helping us in the goalkeeping department,” Smith told the club’s website.

There was a good result for the top of the table battle on Saturday.  Fifth placed Newcastle beat top of the table Wolves 2-0.  While that does put Newcastle above us into 3rd place, it keeps Wolves within striking distance of everyone in the playoff places.  A win for Wolves would've put an end to our automatic promotion hopes.  With only 3 games to go, we can stop looking over our shoulder.  The top 5 will finish in the top 5.  It's just the order left to sort out.  Just four points separate everyone :)

Goalless. But entertaining. Jacob Ramsey denied one-on-one by a fine Andreas Sondergaard save. Indiana Vassilev has a goal disallowed for offside. Dion Sanderson goes closest for the visitors as he clips the right-hand post. All to play for.

Cameron Archer opens the scoring. Callum Rowe has a stinging effort palmed over while Tyreik Wright sees a potential second goal disallowed for offside. Keep this up, Young Lions! 15 to go.
