useless Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Playing Norwich at Bodymoor, 12:30 kick-off Hammond, Pavey, Moreland, Onuchukwu, Lynch, TJ Carroll, Simpson, Hemming, Hayward, Mulley, Burrowes Subs: Oakley, Timson, McDowell, Fortes, Green Looking at that I think there will be a few players playing out of position, as there are no fullbacks and only one central defender in the starting line-up, and no specialist striker either, no idea who Green is on the bench, must either be a U16/U15, or possibly a new signing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 They beat us 4-1, not a great result considering before today they only had three points from their only other win this season, albeit that was in their last game. As above was a very disjointed lineup from us and as to be expected second half of the season they lose the better players to the U21s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East London Villa Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 For a variety of reasons, no Proctor Rowe Katsukunya Borland Jimoh Patterson Young Broggio Wilson Kellyman Brannigan Edwards for the U18s today. Still a poor result given the depth of talent we have at that level, but not a massive surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centre midfielder ? I am starting to have pity for them. These must be all the players Hopcroft spotted over the years . At some point those players will already be in the Villa academy.

wishywashy Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 (edited) You have to wonder how much West Brom make off us every year during these biannual raidings of their academy. We must be the only reason they're still solvent at this point Edited February 1 by wishywashy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We must be the only reason they're still solvent at this point Hopefully this will become a lot less common as the next few age groups push through . The older age groups are part of the older recruiting regime who had gotten poor. The upcoming age groups are part of the new Academy staff and are considerably more competitive than previous years . We also recently bought u14s GK from Oxford and a CD from Swindon , lots going on . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep surely the answer is when you see "he'd been at baggies since he was 9" "he'd been at baggies since he was 11" that tells you where our academy has failed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be a failure of our talent identification & recruitment if we sign any player that joined the WBA academy after 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
