Thought Boro's Callum Cooke was easily the most dangerous player on the park, wouldn't mind getting him instead of Jordan Rhodes, but I suspect Boro might have noticed he's a bit good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tismyk Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 FA Youth Cup: Villa Park to host Broxbourne Borough clash Villa Park will host our FA Youth Cup fifth round clash next month. We defeated Blackburn Rovers 7-6 on penalties to reach this stage and set up a clash with ninth-tier Broxbourne Borough. The game will take place on Saturday February 4, with an 11am kick-off. We boast a good record in the competition, having reached the final in 2010 and the semi-final in 2011. As well as winning it in 2002, we were also runners-up in 2004. https://www.avfc.co.uk/News/2017/01/17/fa-youth-cup-date-confirmed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he was excellent, MOTM for us in my opinion, he could be an option there for the first team now in my opinion 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 A huge amount of full backs these days are converted wingers, it makes sense considering he will be behind Green in the pecking order as a winger but still can be useful. The club can't continue squandering youth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When one of those underdeveloped, non-manly physiqued kids in claret and blue had the ball. Several others were running about toward open green space. Is that legal? Not always mind you, but pretty often, it seemed like the one with the ball might have a clue where his mates might run to. maybe the first team should consider trying those ideas... if they are legal of course. Definitely not legal I think. From what I've seen, the punishment for this kind of behaviour is giving the ball to the opposition and letting them score.

sir_gary_cahill Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Noel can't make the U18 game today against Fulham (12pm kick off), so I can't provide a report, sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 The U18s lost 2-0 to Fulham yesterday, there's a report on the OS. It says on the OS that u15/u16 Aaron Pressley made his U18s debut. He's a striker who is a Scotland u16 international who we recently signed from Hearts, he is the son of ex Scotland centre back Steven Pressley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sir_gary_cahill Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Our U18s lost 3-0 to Norwich City away yesterday, that is the only piece of information that I have. There should be a report on the OS tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sir_gary_cahill Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Just a reminder that our U18s are playing Broxbourne Borough this Saturday 4th February in The FA Youth Cup 5th round clash at Villa Park with an 11am kick off. I think it's free entry to season ticket holders, no more than £5 to non season ticket holders 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted February 1, 2017 Moderator Share Posted February 1, 2017 And just to back up SGC on that one, these youth games are fantastic entertainment for next to nothing on a Saturday afternoon, Villa Park looks wonderful and you'll be surprised at how quickly you become invested in players you didn't know existed just because they're in a Villa shirt. For a number of these youngsters it might be the first time they've played at Villa Park and a big crowd would be great for them. It's great value, it's very often great entertainment and there's a fair chance we'll win. Treat yourself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
