Certainly stood out again as did O'Hare but not sure if that's me more looking out for them.

Again Kevin MacDonald delivers.
What a great servant he's been, the one constant through oceans of strife and troubles

Think Bree and Davis were both involved in the previous game so their absence suggests they will play Sunday

Been saying it since pre season. Forget Davis, RHM, Ohare... JDH is the real deal.

Yeah, been regulars but not every gamers - certainly not Davis. Does imply they were given the run out the other game to sharpen them up for Millwall potentially.

Kevin MacDonald's Under 23 side may have narrowly and disappointingly missed out on automatic promotion and the Premier League 2 Division 2 title this season, but tonight's trip to Wales brought back silverware.

Well done to the lads, only caught the ET and pens, great stream, cheers KevinE.
Looking forward to seeing some of these young 'uns get into the first team.

Excellent read Kev - your OS made a booby though, it's Jake Doyle-Hayes not Harris (it also almost caught me out lol).
Right where's that bed!

With Kevin MacDonald and Mark Delaney overseeing Premier League Cup success for Aston Villa in last Friday’s trip to the Liberty Stadium to face Swansea City in the Final, here’s a quick look back to the Cup before we turn our attention to the Play-Off Final at Under 23 level.

Should open up the Holte Suite and let people hang around to watch the play-off game. Few beers, bit of food - make a day of it!

Presuming less time for the pitch to be treated.
JPA's on the ball though, they might get a few more through the door.

I would go. In fact, I may go anyway. With a 12pm KO there is enough time to get home for the Boro match.

Club statement:
The scheduling of the match was determined by the Premier League.
Aston Villa submitted a request for the final to take place outside the designated dates of the 4th to 7th May due to our U23s participating on the Premier League Cup Final on 4th May.
Unfortunately, Brighton have a Sussex Senior Cup Final against Crawley Town on Wednesday 9th May, which we were advised could not be rescheduled thus preventing the fixture from taking place this week.
Competition rules state that the final must be played at the home venue of the highest-placed Play-Off finisher.
With our second-leg Championship play-off tie against Middlesbrough taking place on Tuesday 15th May, the fixture couldn’t take place beyond Saturday to allow sufficient time for the pitch at Villa Park to be prepared properly for the first-team.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
The club is currently working on broadcasting the game live on our media channels for supporters who are unable to attend due to travelling to Middlesbrough for the Play-Off first leg.

Nice to see grass roots finally takes priority over the Premier League!
