Matt Kendrick interview with Big Rob is good. Yes BR is proper old school and couldn’t do what he did now. But comes across well and knows how to spin a yarn. At times did think he was sounding very old (mental lapse etc)
“As per question 2, the technical seating bowl optimisation study on additional seats will be completed by the end of March”
Lets hope this isn’t making current seats slightly smaller, so they fit extra people in per row
Yes and no. If the team are winning games comfortably on a regular basis, it is easier to give youth 10 minutes at the end, for example if you are 3-0 up, than when they are scraping for results at the lower end of the table. But then there is the added pressure of making sure you win.
He may be registered since Jan, but I’m sure the first stage he was omitted from. It’s because he hasn’t been at Villa long enough to count as an Academy player so had to be registered.

“Despite making his first Villa start in the UEFA Conference League qualifying round against Hibernian — providing an assist for Leon Bailey on the night — Kellyman’s participation in the competition has been curbed. An oversight resulted in him being omitted from the group-stage squad as he had not been at Villa long enough to qualify as an academy graduate. Director of football Damian Vidagany and president of football operations Monchi explained that the 18-year-old should not take it as a slight, given Emery wished to involve him.”
So apparently a stand out performance for the u21s, I’m convinced if we had t done the paperwork wrong and he hadn’t got injured we’d have seen him get first team minutes this season. Hopefully we will soon .
I’d imagine he’ll never play for us again. I’d guess Unai is allowing him to train to get fit for a move in the summer as he wouldn’t take a contract termination. He won’t play first team, and u21s we like to use for the u21s, we give very few first teamer fitness games
Agreed, even Elliot many are now trying to say he came through Liverpool even though he’d okayed for Fulham and they paid £4m for (which should’ve been much more).
It was because of the partnership, but also we were looking to sell Digne and Moreno was injured so it was to test Pau at Lb. But he is no LB and will rightly keep the lcb position even when Mings back
What an assist, and then got a goal as well. He had that impact now when he gets the ball, everyone gets up off their seat expectation, we’ve had that since Ashley Young first stint (yes Grealish, but he didn’t have the pace).
