OutByEaster? Posted August 17 Moderator Share Posted August 17 Oh, and good to see so many who aren't involved in attendance last night Bogarde, Feeney, Swinkels and O'Reilly among those who dusted off their Palm Angels sweats and their Luis Vuitton trainers to come support their teammates. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are objectively the worst team in the division and they're on for a hat trick. Thank you I've had a look through at previous seasons now. Thank you for explaining but I've got that they're bad and an easy win, I just don't understand what changed? Do all the local lads go through the Nottm Forest/ Notts County academy now? How are they maintaining their academy status and staying in the Prem 2 with such poor results and output? I have limited knowledge on this but believed to be category one you need amazing facilities, top tier coaching and a success rate with graduates.

useless Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Travis Patterson scored the first and third goal, Lino Sousa got the second, Finley Munroe was wearing the 20 shirt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East London Villa Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 The official site have finally got their act together on the U21 page, with corrected player listings (aside from Kane Taylor): https://www.avfc.co.uk/Teams/u21. The only player missing seems to be Jayden Barber. Has he been released? He wasn't on either retained or released list this summer, we haven't seen him for a while and his old academy player page hits a 404 now: https://www.avfc.co.uk/players/u18/jaydenbarber/. Have I missed something? Side note, the U18s page clearly hasn't had the same attention yet: https://www.avfc.co.uk/Teams/u18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Jayden Barber has left us and signed for Merstham F.C who play in the Isthmian South East Division, which I think is tier 8 of the league system, strange he's dropped that low as when actually fit he looked a good player for us, I would say one of our underrated ones, and got quite a few call ups to England U17 and U18 squads too, he only turned 19 in June as well, so not the age when we would normally be letting players go, could be injuries related - I hope not, but maybe he's taking same route as Dylan Mitchell, dropping down the pyramid, hoping to stand out at that level and as a result get a move back into the football league 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Make Pies Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Drew 1-1 away to Leeds. Charlie Lutz with a late equalizer after Leeds were given a penalty in the first half. There should be highlights up at some point. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted August 27 Author Moderator Share Posted August 27 Stats updated. Can't remember the last time this happened but we used the same first 11, the same subs and the same unused subs in successive league matches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted August 27 Author Moderator Share Posted August 27 I notice we're not in the Premier League Cup this season. I assume this is because of participation in the UEFA Youth League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Looks like no loan for Smith, great to see Rowe back after missing a lot of pre-season, could be a big season for him, hopefully Richards absence means he's got a loan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skarroki Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Is Swinkels injured? I thought he'd have had a game by now. Was partly thinking he'd be given a new contract, squad number and added to the senior side but still no reason to not play him if he's not getting near the senior bench. Same could be said of Zych and Bogarde. Anyone know what the situation is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted August 31 Moderator Share Posted August 31 I hate the new fixture calendar by the way, it's now impossible to watch the next U21's game at Bodymoor if you want to go and see the first team against Wolves - by kicking off at 12:00 on the same day as a first team game at 15:00, they've basically put it back behind closed doors. Whoever's idea that is needs a good kicking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted September 2 Moderator Share Posted September 2 The Fleetwood game tomorrow is live on Sky Sports Plus tomorrow. It's going to get very, very busy in this thread with those games and the European ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Our first six game mirror the games of the senior side, so we will play Young Boys (a), Bayern Munich (h), Bologna (h), Club Brugge (a), Juventus (h), and Leipzig (a), not sure of the exact dates, but looking back at Manchester City and Arsenal fixtures from last season, looks like the games are usually played on the same day as the seniors, and that's the case with City's games this season 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
