Isa Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Interesting that the U21s went with 3-5-2. Adds to the theory that Lambert sees it as his preferred long-term option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Just got back, really good game. Should have been out of sight at 3-1. Newcastle got a second and it was closer than it should have been. Six was more realistic. Some good performances. Robinson has a great touch and pace. Donacien and Webb looked good at the back after a shakey start , with Donacien the better of the two Jordan was motm for me. Daniel was trying too hard , understand why with the manager there Burke was a little disappointing especially as a poor touch in the box led to Newcastle getting the second. Bateman looked decent throughout and kin sella looked composed in the second half Scorers were Robinson trick, Johnson with two and an own goal from a good cross from Bateman All in all a good performance I'll do a fuller report tomorrowInteresting that the U21s went with 3-5-2. Adds to the theory that Lambert sees it as his preferred long-term option.or that it's his current preferred system and he is looking for some to step up ;-) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I think Robinson may get a bench position on Saturday actually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Out of interest Richard, where was Graham played? As a No. 10? Also, I didn't realise Steiber could play centrally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Graham played on the left side of midfield predominantly. Stieber was on the right but more centrally as you say, he was a little anonymous for me , over shadowed by some others in there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Stay classy Newcastle safe to say I don't recognise the match that donachie is talking about there, especially as he describes our goals. Robinsons first was great control on the edge of their box which took out two defenders before a fabulous finish Our second was good work down the right by the impressive Bateman who's cross was diverted into his own net by a barcode player Third was a stonewall pen after motm graham was brought down ( they couldn't handle the lad all night ) Fourth was the pick of the bunch from Robinson great solo effort after taking on their defence Fifth and sixth their defence was all over the shop at that stage but all those goals served to do was make the shoreline a much more realistic reflection of a game where villa were superb throughout and the gulf in class was evident The report on avfc is a much more fairer reflection of the actuality of the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I was amazed just how many scouts were there as well. Loads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veloman Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 First time I have been to one of these matches - very entertaining I thought - helped, of course, by the result. Particularly liked the number 11, Jordan Graham, who came off near the end, and, as others have said, number 9 Robinson . re. scouts - saw Terry McDermott and Derek Fazackerley plus a bloke from Derby Co whose name I can't remember. We sat behind the Newcastle bench; in the first half it seemed Peter Beardsley was shouting the instructions but in the second half it was a Scottish bloke who was bellowing out what seemed like mainly platitudes to me. Gordon Cowans didn't do any of that. Burton have a nice ground too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Cowans didn't do any of that. Burton have a nice ground too. Jordan came off as he has just returned from injury and was feeling it a bit, i was told! The bloke on the Newcastle touchline spent 10 minutes in the second half shouting at "Olivier" to "stand still" ! Gordon Cowans didn't get animated you are right. But I got a different perspective last night. Burton have a super ground and the pitch is in fabulous nick for the level they play at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 So if we played 3-5-2 was Jordan playing wing back or on the left side of a central 3 in midfield. Either way seems a little odd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way seems a little odd Kinsella was the wing back. Jordan Graham played in advance of him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Stay classy Newcastle Hmmm. Sounds like we were really fortunate to edge this one 6-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 At 3-1 we were out of sight to be honest , so far ahead if it was a boxing match (you know the rest) A mistake by Burke while we were attacking and it goes 3-2, que Villa coaching staff looking royally pissed off as you would. Should and could have been 5 or 6-1 before Barcodes got the second, three goals for us in the last few minutes merely put a more accurate gloss on the scoreline Newcastle (who weren't a bad team by the way and had their moments) were outclassed.
