Thought he was a cb He is a CB but he is playing at LB - he's doing very well there I think. Interesting in that Revan often plays LB with Bedeau at CB. 1-0 Reading, penalty after Revan was cuaght out by a long ball over the top and Sarkic made a mess of the challenge. 1-1 Bree at the far post with a header from a corner!

OutByEaster? Posted November 4, 2018 Moderator Share Posted November 4, 2018 3-1 Blackett-Taylor - played in by O'Hare and couldn't miss. We look very confident now. I can see us scoring more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted November 4, 2018 Moderator Share Posted November 4, 2018 3-2 - good strike in fairness for their number 10. I reckon we could have ten goals in this one. O'Hare hits the bar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Great game this and a great effort from O'Hare. He is one of the few players I have watched at U23 to treat the game as you would at senior level, his workrate and desire is brilliant to see. Can only be a matter of time before he gets minutes, through ability alone or through reward because his attitude to the game is first rate. Also good to see Lansbury get a game, do we know why senior players were not getting games previously? Was it a Bruce mandate or an agreement not to hinder minutes of our U23 players??? I cannot understand what the reasons would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted November 4, 2018 Moderator Share Posted November 4, 2018 3-3 you can pick any score you like here. I'm going for a 7-5 Villa win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Weird first half. 3-3 is mental. I don’t watch u23 very often but my bought from that first half: OHare work rate is superb, has good ability in the ball as well, can see him getting first team football, Smith will like the way he presses and wins the ball high up the field. Lansbury has been given the DLP role over Doyle Hayes (who is more advanced). It may be seen as an audition for the role in the first team. He’s not grasping it with both hands. Very underwhelming and not dictating play like he should at this level. Bree, took his goals well (both headers) but is showing that he isn’t ready for the first team. Given any possession too easily, gets pulled out of position and beaten fairly easily. Blackett Taylor, quick and skilful but his final ball isnt great, although he did finish well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarkic is there, I've seen Bedeau, it looks like the regular reserve line up. BlackettTaylor is playing on the right, Cox up front with O'Hare and Lansbury in midfield!

OutByEaster? Posted November 4, 2018 Moderator Share Posted November 4, 2018 4-3 Reading. Bazeley-Graham deciding to try to dribble his way out, losing the ball and leaving a big hole. We could have scored twice in the opening four minutes of the half - a good save and a really poor first touch by Lansbury keeping us out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 So open at the back, both centre backs have had an absolute mare. Bree, for his 2 goals has done himself no favours with his all round defensive performance either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted November 4, 2018 Moderator Share Posted November 4, 2018 I'd agree with all that Rodders - the only defender who had impressed is Bedeau and he's out of position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 It has been played at a fine pace to be fair, I think that is what has caught the young centre backs out. You can usually sit at the back at this level, and you are allowed to play, but not today. It's definitely a lesson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 RHM goes close again with a snap shot from the edge of the area. Really this should be a clear win but naive defending has gifted them 4 goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
