These kids lead privileged lives and will have walked into teams throughout their time in the youth academy with constant praise. Part of going out on loan is having the full professional experience. Learning the frustrations of getting into the team, the importance of taking a chance when they get it, of impressing in training are all key lessons. If a few months down the line he's still not playing its an issue.

Aaron James Ramsey according to wikipedia.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Armstrong Might be a possibility for New Zealand. Only played for our reserves, not sure if any of his caps came during that time

Surely Bryan can have a word

Hutton plays a nice ball out to the right wing, as a left back, surely that means that you then hold back. Not that idiot, they counter he's nowhere to be seen.

What are the odds on him playing RB before christmas?

Suliman,, Doyles-Hayes, Blackett-Taylor and McKirdy not in the U23's tonight. No idea who is fit or injured.

Need Sunderland to stay up. Alladyce is one of a dying breed, an old fashioned english manager who has the ego to believe he can get the best out of players who are crap elsewhere. Richards, Lescott or Gabby would be challenges for him. Can't see any other managers in the premiership who would touch them.

2nd goal Everything that sums up Richards. Jogs back when there is a real danger No awareness of an opposition runner until it is too late. Sulks and waves his hands

Even if the championship was 5 a side that wouldn't be sufficent

Pearson's reputation seems at an all time high. He took on a relegated Hull City and finished 12th in the Championship. It took him a while to get things going at Leicester before one excellent promotion season. In the premiership they were awful until their miraculous finish. He's not going to come in and turn things around immediately. What he has got going for him is a very good knowledge of the division, and the strong character needed. However, has he ever done much bringing youth players through?

The players won't care in the slightest at the protests, they've already shown their attitude. Randy is not around, and really doesn't care. We're already being laughed at with the abuse we gave the players at Wycombe. A more positive message might be shown by a big attendance shown if we're drawn at home in the next round of the youth cup. Supporting players that could be the future of the club, that still care and have aspirations, that in Ben Petty have a coach that has been a graduate and coach of the Villa youth system. A big crowd with banners saying that we'll always support OUR club, or we'll always support those who play with heart would send a clear message and would catch media attention. All of those boycotting games, which is totally understandable, can get time at Villa park without the misery and without contributing towards Randy's pocket. And the chances are we might be present for a victory at Villa Park!

Anyone know where the u21's are playing their games this season? Hinckly? Villa Park? First home game against Stoke on Monday and can't find any details
