Carl Sagan Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Game very open and end to end on a bobbly pitch. A few minutes ago Max Bird intercepted in the middle of the Villa half in a brilliant position, but then gave the ball away carelessly leading to a fast Villa break at the other end. Max Hunt just stood with his arm up hoping for offside, as Villa had two players through on goal. Very unimpressed by both Maxs at that point, but a great save by Barnes and they missed the follow-up. Villa are in the Premier League 2 second division but still won this tournament last year and top the group right now. But as a team near the top of the first division you'd hope we'd start to control this. And right now there is no control. Need to calm it down and have some sustained possession.

DenmarkRam Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 The boys looked ok in the last part of the first half... We will score in the second... stay positive... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angieram Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 We seemed to be the better team towards the end of the half (I missed first 20 minutes.) Why would you want your young players to play on a pitch like that, though? Surely Villa can do better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We gradually asserted ourselves ending up going 2-0 ahead, but since then we really seem to have fallen apart. A bit odd. I wonder if the substitutions have made the difference. EDIT. And now it's 2-1 and you can't say it's not been coming. Quarter of an hour to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gone to pieces since Sibley went off. Can't be helped with a trialist playing with not much understanding with rest of team. No excuse for defensive panic though. Currently 2-1.

Ghost of Clough Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Barnes easily man of the match for me. Strangely, the U23s haven’t looked like much of a team for the last couple of games - I don’t understand why ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OohMartWright Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Buffonge given a gilt-edged chance by the unselfish Shonibare, only to put it straight at the keeper, leading to a nervy end to the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Sagan Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 As no one's posted to say it, I'll confirm we won 2-1 despite several late scares, meaning we've qualified through to the knock-out stages of the PL U23 Cup. Come on you young Rams! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
