    Lost 1-0, tough first half, was basically their attack against our defence, did better second half, unlucky not to get an equalizer in the end, although could have scored another as well. They looked older and stronger than us, some of them looked like they could be playing U21, or even first team football, we sent a U15 squad, so they probably were older, also their 'gamesmanship' was ridiculous considering it's only a friendly tournament for development Today was a tough game, but Cronin-McGrath did well when he was able to get on the ball and has looked a very good in the other two games I saw, to be fair they all showed good promise at times, as you would expect, I think we will be seeing a number of them playing an age up for our U18s at some point next season

    Semi-final against Panathinaikos is about to kick-off
  4. useless
    We play Panathinaikos FC in the semi-final tomorrow, the other semi-final is Olympiacos FC against Inter Academy Georgia, final is also tomorrow, so our academy and first team could both end up playing Olympiacos on the same day

    Howe, O'Neill, Edwards, Frank, Moyes and even Iraola, all have their teams playing a style of football not too dissimilar to Dyche, could probably add Nuno to those as well. If Southy gets a PL job he will be another in that vein.

    It doesn't really matter what Norwich would prefer in the semi-final, they've got no choice but to go for a win on Saturday, as whilst it's unlikely they would drop out of the top six with a loss, it's not exactly beyond the realms of possibility either, so they just can't risk it, they have to try and win.

    Tim Iroegbunam

    useless replied to useless's topic in Villa Talk

    He was one of the best midfielders in the Championship first half of last season, of course he's Championship level at least, Emery wouldn't have him anywhere near the first team if he was League One level. We got as much as we did for Ramsey because he just had a very good season for Norwich and Middlesbrough, contributing goals and assstants, he was also a regular for England at every age group which adds to the value of these younger players Iroegbunam will be heading into the summer of the back of a difficult season because of injuries and no loan, and not much game time, although it will be noted that Emery has given him game time, we would probably get eight or ten million for him and we would retain a buyback option, also he would go to one of the better teams in the Championship, or at least one expected to challenge for the play-offs This is all if we even want to sell him, we might not

    Considering we've been resting Jimoh and Young recently and have been playing Wilson in an experimental position, and also giving Lander game time - nothing against him looks fine, but Wright probably a safer bet if we were desperate for a win, I'm not sure we're super bothered about reaching the play-offs, although hope they do it as can't be a bad thing. I think we would play Spurs away in last sixteen as well, so even if we did qualify, might well only mean one extra game

    Norwich might rest a few, but will still put out a strong team, and also probably going to unleash Jonathan Rowe as he needs game time after injury

    I think contenders for manager of the year will be Emery if we win Conference League and qualify for the Champions League, Arteta if he wins Arsenal the title, or Edwards if he keeps Luton up, regardless of Forest deduction that would still be an amazing achievement.Have Iraoloa and O'Neill actually done much better than Dyche, Wolves were supposedly one of the favorites for relegation, I think maybe because people fixated on the likes of Neves, Moutinho and so on leaving, but look at their team, the likes of Aït-Nouri, João Gomes, Pedro Neto, Max Kilman, Hugo Bueno all being linked with big money moves away, and then you've go the likes of Hwang and Cuna who are decent, Tommy Doyle too, O'Neill done a reasonable enough job, but it's not some big overachievement, although I guess you could also give him some credit for the good performances that have lead to the those players attracting the interest of other teamsIraoloa has done well overall, but within in that Bournemouth have had some awful runs, no wins in the first nine, and then they had another spell where they didn't win in seven, and as with Wolves I don't think their squad as might be thought, they've spent £200m in the last two seasons.

    James Collins and Corey Blackett-Taylor also promoted with Derby. Collins is out of contract in the summer, and Blackett-Taylor is on loan, but i think they have an obligation to buy him. I wouldn't be surprised if they took Kellyman on loan next season.

    Philogene isn't actually knocked off the ball easily, he's surprisingly very combative, he doesn't shirk the physical side of the game, it's why he had a run of games as a rightback for Cardiff last season and did well there, he might not be as physically strong as Rogers but most players aren't. It's Aaron Ramsey who struggles with the physical side of the game, who as far as I'm aware isn't coming back, unless we trigger the buyback, which I don't think we would do, as would probably be more beneficial to him and us if he were to do well in the Championship next season with Burnley if he can get fit

    Chrisene and Bogarde both only turned twenty earlier this year, also they've both missed a year or more through injuries, so haven't had as much development time as some other players their age Chrisene did well to get a Championship loan in the first place, again considering his injuries, maybe hasn't had as much game time as he would have liked, but some of that might be down to Blackburn's situation so less likely to risk playing a yougnster in defence, similar for Sousa at Plymouh Not sure why Bogarde isn't out on loan, he's more than good enough, he's a clear standout for our U21s when he plays, but he should be because he's way to good for that level now, so when he does well it's not noteworty, just a case of keeping him match fit, I'm guessing maybe he got caught between two situations, loan interest from the Championship, but also Emery reluctant to let him go just in case he's needed, Bogarde has quoted Emery has telling him he has to wait but his chance will come. He might not be a part of our squad in the short-term, but bigger picture wise I think he's on the right track career wise, and should get a decent loan, or buyback move in the summer
