Oh, but while you're on the site looking for the link to the 10pm show - they do manage to make sure you can't miss the result. Sigh. Still, sounds like a cracker. OK thanks, I thought I was just bad at finding the game..... Was looking forward to watching it at 10, might just hip off to bed and watch tomorrow if it's going to be much longer!

OutByEaster? Posted August 13, 2021 Moderator Share Posted August 13, 2021 AVTV has been very disappointing so far, mostly not due to any fault of the club. We paid for five friendlies and the U23's - so far we've ended up with three and a half friendlies, one of which wasn't in the original plan and no live coverage of the first U23 game, with no sign of the first of the promised replays that we're looking forward to seeing at both first team and U23 level, twenty minutes after its planned broadcast time. It's nothing like what was advertised and the club will take pelters, even though the major problems have been Covid and Premier League TV contracts. This delay though is on the club - if they'd said 22:30, no one would have batted an eyelid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should never have given themselves such a strict deadline. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Amazing that we can search the length and breadth of the country for talent and most of it has been sitting in Albions academy. Was concerned that it was pretty easy scouting bu taking all the players they know about but it seems there are all sorts of gems hiding there.

OutByEaster? Posted August 13, 2021 Moderator Share Posted August 13, 2021 50 minutes in and I think Iroegbunam and Patterson have both looked good - the pass for our equaliser from Iroegbunam was an absolute peach. Ramsey looks a class act too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nepal_villan Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 A.Ramsey looked like Zidane out there. Have to think he will go off on loan somewhere. Bogarde and Patterson impressed. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAlex Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Brad Young's movement is absolutely superb. Whatever level he ends up at, hopefully with us. He will score goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Brad Young has got Jamie Vardy - go to League 2 and work his way up to the Prem - written all over him. I hope we have patience with him and get him some good loan opportunities in the EFL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted August 14, 2021 Author Moderator Share Posted August 14, 2021 Front page stats updated. Just stay there now Villa Ramsey continues where he left off. He's becoming a bit of a cheat code in this league now. I'd say he may be better than his brother ever was at this level. He's 18 this season which is the same age Jacob was when he had his big season in 19/20 with 11 returns (6 goals 5 assists) in 11 starts. Aaron has already eclipsed that last season (15 returns) as a 17 year old (in a younger side) so McGrath knows what he'll do if he doesn't go out on loan. Next up is another Friday tie. This time a trip to Middlesbrough's Heritage Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted August 14, 2021 Author Moderator Share Posted August 14, 2021 Just one other point. The average age of the starting 11 was 18.26 years old. That would already have been enough to be the 3rd youngest starting 11 last season. 18.04 was the youngest last season in the 4-4 draw with Palace. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
