A young Town U23s side were beaten 3-0 by Aston Villa in the Premier League Cup at Hednesford Town’s Keys Park earlier this evening.

Harvey Knibbs, Colin Odutayo and Jacob Ramsey scored the goals for the Midlanders, who now top the four-team group and go through to the knock-out stages.

Town are currently third and have only a slim chance of reaching the next phase if they beat West Brom in their final group game at Portman Road on Monday night (now KO 2pm).

They also require Villa to beat Sheffield United in the other fixture earlier that afternoon and a five-goal turnaround.

U23s: Ware, El Mizouni, Clements, Blanchfield, Cotter, Goteni, McLoughlin, Sagaf, Lankester, Folami, D Crowe.

Pilgrimblue added 23:31 - Feb 22 That's because we've loaned out or sold our best players like Downes McDonnell McKenndry Webber etc. Surely it would have been better to play for our teams and enjoy some success for the future. I bet Nash isn't happy.

brian_a_mul added 06:36 - Feb 23 Nash's job is to prepare youngsters for senior football and our first team. Loaning youngsters out to get first team experience in competitive leagues is the next progressive step in their development. While I'm sure Nash wants to win every game (which is great) he must also be proud go see his youngsters developing and excelling in competitive leagues while on loan.
