BOF Posted August 11, 2023 Author Moderator Share Posted August 11, 2023 An inauspicious start to the campaign. 3-0 defeat and a red card. Maybe we should be poaching their coaches instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Make Pies Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Missed the first half due to a technical problem. Villa IT support sorted that out quickly so well done there. Tommi O'Reilly and Tristan Rowe were the standouts in the second half for us. Our general play was pretty good and we missed two or three clear cut chances at 0-1. After the red card WBA kept the ball away from us. Losing Young to the red wasn't ideal but the way we conceded the second and third goals was poor.

useless Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Wasn't expecting much when I saw the line-up, a lot of our better players missing, and I think as is usually the case as the season goes on a number of the better players will emerge from the first year scholars, wouldn't be surprised if the likes of Jimoh, Lynch, Broggio and so on are playing at this level before Christmas. In terms of the league campaigns we could end up with a scenario where most of the U21s are U18s and most of the U18s are U16s, which if does happen will be a good sign, but also results will be very up and down. I was impressed with Triston Rowe, he made a few mistakes but that's going to happen with a sixteen year old playing at this level, to look as good as he did in the good moments is a hugely promising sign, Tommi O'Reilly was very good as well, but I think really needs a loan to help with his development now, Bogarde was good too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyClarke Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 (edited) Watching and listening to Idiakez was worth the admission price alone. Usual suspects performed, Feeney, Lammy and O'Reilly (who was top drawer). Other than the real youngsters, the rest aren't likely to be good enough. On this showing, the Rico Richards transfer is baffling. Edited August 11, 2023 by AndyClarke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyClarke Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 (edited) Oh and the two adults with the young lads at the end of the back row in BM2 ought to be ashamed of themselves. The lads probably no older than 10 ranting and shouting drivel all game, mainly aimed at the ref, which the 2 adults thought hilarious.

BOF Posted August 14, 2023 Author Moderator Share Posted August 14, 2023 I won't be running down everyone's fixtures and results this season, as it would be a mammoth task and tbqf I don't think the interest is there to justify it. I will do our own ones though obviously, as and when. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted August 15, 2023 Author Moderator Share Posted August 15, 2023 Looks like Campton-Sturridge ain't around so I've removed him from the squad. Transfermarkt saying he's without a club too since July 1st. I've also taken Philogene off for opposite reasons as I doubt he'll be turning out for the stiffs any time soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
