Ratings & Reactions: Barrow v Villa

[CVByrne]

Hope Archer gets a loan to get more regular football. As interested in him as any now.

JPB and C Chukwuemeka look class footballers. I can seem them getting plenty of time in the Prem this season. 

Anwar has to start on Saturday. Couldn't have gone better this evening

Barry goes out on loan to Ipswich and within a couple of weeks he’s lost his job as future superstar   3 great finishes from Archer and a good job all round from both young and old

Only negative for me was what appeared to be a man bun on Steer .

 

The future looks so bright I’m wondering if it is too early to see what odds I can get on Villa to win the premier league in 2025

Loved watching these kids play.

They are hungry for goals & they know how to get them. A lot of resilient skilful play.

Feels like Barrow is on the edge of the world and their team is on the edge of the footballing world too. Not the greatest challenge but very professionally handled.

Two sets of brothers in the squad- it’s a family affair!

I know it’s only Barrow but then a lot of these lads are only 20 or younger.

I’m fully sold, the future of Aston Villa is not spending £100M every summer, the future of Aston Villa was on the pitch tonight, I smell a golden generation coming on.

[Phil Silvers]

Poor from Archer against this type of opposition, concentration levels need upping, should have got two hatricks.

[Xela]

Only 6?

Smith out!

[Eligius]

Really enjoyed that perfromance tonight, some seriously good young players at the club which is great to see.

Archter spoke well in his post match presser. Retire the shirt!

They were making Conor looking like Iniesta.

I appreciate that.

Archer take a bow.

This comment deserves far more appreciation

Of the youngsters, gotta say that JPB looks most ready for the first team (despite not scoring any!). I can't quite put my finger on what's so impressive about him cause he's not quite as technical as some of the others (i.e. Chuk).  I think it's mentality - he's got a maturity and composure that makes him look a bit older than his years. He's also very intelligent with his movement and vision

Good performance all round, Guilbert and archer have to be on the bench for sat with the 9 subs

[tonyh29]

Watching Archer be interviewed on Skysports you can’t just help but smile … comes across really well with a bit of a personality … top work 

[It's Your Round]

That was a whole load of fun, really enjoyed Archer’s hat-trick, El Ghazi’s two goals and two assists, and JPB’s performance. It’s only Barrow but we did what we had to and pass to the next round. 

[MrBlack]

Great game to watch. That last goal was a thing of absolute beauty.

Seems to be a real in sync understanding between the youth players.

It's amazing how much they made the senior players (AEG and Fred excluded) look like they'd won a competition to play alongside them.

Shows who should be on our bench in the PL.

I have seen us play worse

[Sulberto21]

I voted for Nakamba as the motm. For fits and giggles.

Impressed with JPB, Chuks X2 , Archer, Ramsey and Lindley.

Professional performance.

Good minutes for the bench players, great experience for the kids and a dream come true for Cameron Archer.

Favourite moment for me is that ball from JPB for the sixth - just brilliant.

 

Agreed. That was really special. Almost reminiscent of a former player whose name best not be mentioned here. 

[ronk-villa]

Weve put second string teams out against that sort of oposition in the past and come unstuck. Never looked like happening tonight. Jeez, these kids gonna be banging on the first team door real soon. Gotta find room for them!

It's a no look pass, around the man and behind three defenders perfectly weighted and wonderfully delivered.
