2022-23: Portsmouth – Aston Villa U21 5-0 (EFL Trophy)

Meget overbevisende sejr der viser bredden på bænken!

Kommentarer fra manager Danny Cowley

«I enjoy these games because I think you always learn a lot about your group and I liked what I saw from us. There was a good attitude, energy and intensity – that all comes from enthusiasm, which is an important quality. We played some really nice football and in 15 years as a manager, I can’t remember being so dominant in a game.

I thought we looked bright in possession and moved the ball around quickly, while everyone connected well. It felt like a really strong team performance and it was great to finish the game with so many young ones on the pitch. Adam Payce got some more minutes, while it was nice for Harvey Laidlaw and Brian Quarm to come on for their debuts.

The senior players conducted themselves in a good manner and so it was a positive night for our club.”
