Coquelin has to go...
surely somebody in the championship could do with a DM.

Ha, Bellerin is so good going forward but leaves so much space behind and Villa have caused a few problems from that right hand side. Hayden has looked very sharp and composed on the ball.

Akpom the future seals the deal with his 2nd...
Zelalem with the assist for the record. nice through ball.

[Danskin]

Akpom with a brace!

Good win. Personally liked what I saw from Akpom and Hayden. Crowley is really good and Zelalem had a much better performance in the second-half. Bellerín and Ottewil were also solid going forward.

[Smitty_AFC]

his 1st touch on his 2nd goal was brilliant from Akpom...
that 1st touch made it impossible for the defender to take the ball from him without probably giving up a penalty.

Was a decent performance. I like Belleron but thought he looked naive at times even against their under 21s so wouldn't want to rush him into 1st team action.

Zelalem looked a lot more physically able today, always thought he was technical but too small, today he was quicker, stronger and looked like he was putting himself about.

Chubb good but can't afford to waste chances like the 1v1

On a side, we're in the second tier now I believe but how? Thought both us and Villa had decent youth set ups?
