Thanks Scott, means a lot, just be patient, it's a marathon, not a sprint. There are some really great young players at the minute. You deserve it too and so does every Villa fan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 (edited) We're playing Blackburn Rovers in The FA Youth Cup 4th round after they beat Arsenal 1-0, Daniel Butterworth scored for Blackburn. The tie has to be played by the 14 January, the tie is away presumably at Ewood Park. It's a great opportunity for our young players, no matter what the result is, it's an experience none of them will ever forget Edited January 1, 2017 by sir_gary_cahill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted January 7, 2017 Moderator Share Posted January 7, 2017 I'm not, but I'm really hopeful we can get a result - the fifth round draw has us at home against the might of FC Broxbourne Borough or Yeovil Town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks OBE, I don't think either of those sides should be underestimated, they could spring a 'surprise' Edited January 7, 2017 by sir_gary_cahill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tismyk Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Broxbourne Borough U18s 1-0 Yeovil Town U18s: Alie Bangura's strike sets up FA Youth Cup fifth-round clash with Aston Villa as fairtytale continuesAlie Bangura's strike opened the scoring for Broxbourne Borough in the first half Yeovil pushed for an equaliser in the second period but Broxbourne stood firm Manager Roy Bleau has developed a team that preaches technical ability Broxbourne Borough now face Aston Villa in the fifth round of the FA Youth Cup By Amitai Winehouse For The Daily Mail Published: 23:04, 11 January 2017 | Updated: 23:04, 11 January 2017 Even before Wednesday night's victory against Yeovil Town, Broxbourne Borough's FA Youth Cup run belonged in the pantheon of football fairytales. Now it's hard to imagine even the Brothers Grimm coming up with a tale this strange. Broxbourne have gone against the grain of youth development in England, assembling a side that ranks among the 16 best in the country over the course of nine years. Manager Roy Bleau has developed a team that preaches technical ability, achieves results and has somehow stayed out of the hands of the academy system. <img id="i-f90473352235a856" src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2017/01/10/20/3C05AA8C00000578-4106510-Broxbourne_Borough_s_Under_18s_side_take_on_Yeovil_Town_on_Wedne-a-36_1484080717924.jpg" height="476" width="634" alt="Broxbourne Borough's Under-18s side take on Yeovil Town on Wednesday - Back row: Jack Price, Nicky Moir, Dylan Bolister, Lewis Dickinson, Richard Oluwatoyin, Garvey Tulloch-Jordan, Nevile Namutenda, Christian Anuyagu, Alie Bangura, Kaine Myer.

Front Row: Jay Batchelor, George Quarrington-Carter, Brandon Walsh, James Kelly, Frankie Chandler, Mark Omotobora, Joe Patrick They have been crafted into one of the most formidable units in youth football, having played an age group up last season and still finished fourth in their division. And that is why a packed Goffs Lane, with over 1,000 in attendance, witnessed one of the biggest upsets they could. Broxbourne's senior side sit bottom of the ninth tier. Yeovil Town's are 16th in League Two. On the night it did not matter, not for the Under-18s. They triumphed 1-0. From the moment Alie Bangura struck past the Yeovil goalkeeper in the opening exchanges, it became clear an upset was on the cards. It was a swift start from a team that went into this game as one of football's best secrets and emerged from it as a side being spoken about across social media. The game settled into a pattern. Broxbourne had a lead to protect while Yeovil needed to avoid an upset. So Yeovil pushed. And Broxbourne broke. The clear cut chances did not come for Yeovil in the first-half. But by the second they were on top and, understandably, the hosts found themselves trying to keep them at bay. Which they managed to shock Yeovil and reach the fifth round of the Youth Cup. Broxbourne's senior side play in the ninth tier alongside the likes of Tring Athletic, Hertford Town and St Margaretsbury but their youth team now face a fixture away against Aston Villa. To face the Under-18s side of a team that was in the Premier League just last years is a stunning achievement even for an incredible unit that remains undefeated in the league this season. At this stage of the competition, most sides play at their actual stadium. Villa Park anyone? That would seem like the natural conclusion to their dream run, but it would be a surprise if Broxbourne were ready to wake up just yet http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4110520/Broxbourne-s-Alie-Bangura-sets-FA-Youth-Cup-fifth-round-clash-Aston-Villa.html?ITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sir_gary_cahill Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 In my opinion, the youth team have a good chance of winning the Youth Cup this year. There isn't really a star man, the team is cohesive instead and work extremely hard for each other, if anyone cares 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villanwesty88 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Really pleased to see Green and Davis get some more game time today in the first team - perhaps the only positive! I really think we have to have a continuity throughout the club from Academy/u23s to the 1st team in the way that we play. At the moment because we have been in such a mess for so long we don't have this. I'd like to think that whilst we are stabilising things on and off the field (slowly) this will get addressed. If we can play in a certain style at every level it will make it so much easier for the youth players to make it to the first team. It would hopefully stop completely starting all over again with a completely new philosophy every time we change manager. Also, it should help with acquiring the right players that we need to buy in from elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 One thing I don't want to do is put too much pressure on these young talents, I've seen it before with other young players, they either sink or swim. I'm very excited about this group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
