Interesting to see both Barry Bannan and Jonathon Hogg up against each other in the playoffs right now. Then you think about Daniel Johnson and Callum Robinson both finishing above us with Preston. Jordan Graham rated very highly by Wolves fans too. Boaz Myhill would walk into the team right now too.

I think we are too quick to get rid of our promising youth.

Perhaps the club needs to look at whoever is making these decisions, or the criteria we use to make them, as we do seem to be losing some talented players. These players are performing better than some of our present players.

The problem with youth players as most top flight clubs nowadays is there's too much at stake to blood a load of youth as it could cost points and ultimately cash. 

Also, whilst a player may look good at youth level against similar sized players both physically and mentally, it's a different game once you're playing first team, top level football.

This is why I think we see a fair few drop a few levels for several seasons to grow both physically and experience wise.

4 finals matches?

i know they've done a legends game this morning (hendrie and heskey played) but what else is there?

It's a typical 7s tournament set up.

it guarantees each team plays a number of matches and also allows for some recovery time for the teams in the main final.

i like the fact that even if you don't progress in the main competition you can still have a shield to play for.

rugby 7s is similar too.

also means the crowd always have something to watch!

Physically dominated. Much stronger than us.

Totally.

our best players have been Mitchell, O'Hare and McKirdy but all three are very slightly built and short.

leicester players certainly look taller and physical.

disappointing end to a positive tournament

Good to see a few Villa shirts in the crowd on the locals.

Also makes me want to go back to Hong Kong!
