Aston Villa first team play the U-21, lost 3 - 0. Shambolic??

How do you describe this?

Bottom of the Premier League for what seems an eternity and losing 6-0 at home to Liverpool in their last match, Villa were in desperate need of a confidence boost.
A behind closed doors match against the club’s Under-21s development team would do the trick, right?
Think again.
A team made up of Aston Villa’s first team stars has lost 3-0 to their U21s side.
Brad Guzan, Alan Hutton, Ciaran Clark, Kieran Richardson, Ashley Westwood, Jordan Veretout, Idrissa Gueye, Leandro Bacuna and Scott Sinclair all featured in the match.

It will offer little encouragement to Remi Garde, who is desperately trying to navigate a route to Premier League safety.
With 12 matches remaining, eight points from safety and only three league games won all season, it seems unlikely.
Maybe they should try throwing the kids in?
