TRO Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 (edited) so my question to Steve Bruce is this......what exactly have these kids got to do to be given a chance. is the gap that big between first team and under 21..... if so what chance has any of them got of being promoted like , little, Shaw and cowans. you can say that they have to exhibit the skills to mix it with the men of this league......The seniors don't so what have we got to lose. The majority of seniors are pussies......put the kids in, we may get some fire in the belly. ps at least they will fire the crowd up Edited October 19, 2017 by TRO 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they have a mare then put the old head back in. However definitely nothing to lose, it just might be the tonic we need and an opportunity to further unearth potential gems. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven123 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I would like to see Lyden given a chance in a midfield 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted October 20, 2017 Visiting Supporter Share Posted October 20, 2017 In my opinion Lyden would do no worse than Whelan and would give Villa more energy in midfield. Can't understand why Bruce won't play him when you consider how the other kids have done. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep I think we're defintitely at the point of asking that question now in relation to Lyden. Now while I'm not in favour of giving opportunities off the back of an impressive display (singular) because the step up in class is massive, this lad is into his second impressive season, and there are only 3 players in the entire U23 league that have scored more goals than him this season and 2 of those are (naturally) strikers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 He is competing with a high profile, highly paid senior player that was brought in this summer by this manager and who was supposed to be THE answer to our midfield problems. He'll have to be very impressive to earn his place in the starting 11. Right or wrong. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The age of Whelan & Jedinak should mean Lyden would be getting opportunities under normal circumstances. But now we're very generously developing Spurs' player for them too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntrimBlack Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Probably won't happen unless Whelan gets injured. As with Davis, only an injury gave him his chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Another who needs a loan, must be last chance to make it as a footballer. Can’t have much left on his contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Playing against football U23s who I am told are a very good youth side and honestly he is streets ahead of this level now, he could play this game half asleep. Someone get him a loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely needs a loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted August 31, 2018 Moderator Share Posted August 31, 2018 Gone to Oldham on loan. Hallelujah for HIS sake. Was getting lost in footballing limbo. Looking forward to seeing him tear it up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knew he was going out on loan. I’ve moved this week to Walsall as a scout from St Mirren but heard some talk about few clubs after him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I'm happy for him. I think he is a good player, and if he can prove himself on loan, I hope he can be given a chance here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junxs Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 He didn't look out of place when he was playing for us in the premier league. Very surprised he hasnt been given a chance in the first team at championship level. It annoys me when Bruce refers to other clubs loan players as being young and need time to develop when they put in poor performances, but wont use our own except for throwing a bunch in all at once in a mish mash side in cup competitions. How come he doesnt use the same logic as his loan youngsters but he just writes off our own players instead. In his 3rd season now and when it comes to our youngsters he's only given Grealish a proper chance, I'm not counting Davis as he had no choice but to play him.
