OutByEaster? Posted November 15, 2021 Moderator Share Posted November 15, 2021 Nothing on the OS in terms of their matchday updates - this fixture isn't mentioned. In fairness, it's a very minor competition, if it wasn't for us no one would notice it were happening! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted November 15, 2021 Moderator Share Posted November 15, 2021 Firth is there and Goodridge and one Chukwuemeka, exact identity unknown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted November 15, 2021 Author Moderator Share Posted November 15, 2021 That's a young backline. Decent team though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Caleb Chukwuemeka gives us a 1-0 lead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Stourbridge equalize from a penalty. Judging by their twitter it sounds like they're giving us a good game and Zych is having to make a lot of saves. Thought It might be a tough game when I saw the line-up.

useless Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Now losing 2-1. Has been a while since any of our men's team above U16 level won a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unused Sub Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 (edited) 1-2 FT Not a bad game to watch. Sloppiness at the back was our major downfall, lost count of how many times we gave the ball away in dangerous areas. Looked good on the break, just couldn’t get the final pass away. Very noticeable how deep Caleb got second half in order to get in the game. Thorndike was the stand out for me (unlucky to hit the post with a free kick), closely followed by Feeney. Caleb’s goal was jammy, just a closed down the goalie and deflected off him into the net. Theirs were a pen and a direct free kick. They should have had a couple more second half. Team: Zych, Ealing, Patterson (sub Barber), Zito, Feeney, Lindley, Firth, Hart (sub O’Reilly), Chukwuemeka, Thorndike, Goodridge (sub Afoka). Unsed Subs: Alcock, Wright. Note on the attendance, 1946, which is Stourbridge’s highest by some way this season. Edited November 15, 2021 by Unused Sub spelling! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Good game, nice atmosphere. The difference between the teams was that Stourbridge nullified our attacking threat with strong tackles and defensive organisation, and then made the most of two sloppy defensive errors. They were less refined but more effective and deserved the win. Villa never really consistently connected midfield and attack, and after going behind from a lovely direct free kick, huffed and puffed but only created one solitary good chance. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 For those that watched the game, was Iroegbunam a noticeable miss in midfield? He's looked so good when I've watched him play this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very much yes, needed someone like him or Lindley from last term to dictate the tempo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted November 17, 2021 Author Moderator Share Posted November 17, 2021 I notice there are only 3 u21 teams in the Papa John's knockout stages (out of 32). We're joined by Arsenal and Chelsea who face Ipswich & Forest Green respectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
