foreveryoung Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Worrying about West Brom, this is what we have become. Beginning of the season it was like bring it on, an we walked over them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lerner's Driver Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 (edited) Hard to call, could easily lose again but they are pretty much down and we are safe in mid table mediocrity. 2-1 Villa. Edited April 25, 2021 by Lerner's Driver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we throw them all in from the start and we get heavily beaten, that's not going to help them in the long term. They are young and, in an ideal world, I probably wouldn't be looking to play them at this stage, but given where we are, I can see very few cons and a lot of pros to starting Kessler and possibly Chuk/JPB (depending upon formation) and Ramsey. The alternatives are really poor and hopefully leaving us this summer (AEG, Nakamba, Elmo). This is the main one for me. I struggle to think that the kids could be much worse and, if they are, what have we lost. There is no pressure on this Villa side in that (1) we aren't getting relegated; and (2) we aren't getting into Europe. The Villa fans get a chance to see our highly rated kids. I am sure they want the opportunity. If, say, Chuk does not perform then at least he has had a chance and we can discuss his development over the next couple of years in that light. It doesn't turn into a Sancho scenario we ups and leaves for a German club (or Citeh/Utd who are rumoured to be interested) as he can't say that he hasn't been given a first team opportunity. I can't think of many cons?? Do you think they will be psychologically scarred for life? If so, maybe they are the wrong type?? Having said all this, I don't expect him to do it and I have just seen that he hasn't. More of the same????? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he originally played so well and gave us hope, we wanted to buy him but has recently lost that impetuous and is no better than what we have. But we saw him and we know what he is capable. I wonder if this is why he doesn't get regular first team outings at Chelsea, Could do better, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briny_ear Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Well, just been watching Warwickshire successfully pull off a 256 run chase against Essex to go top of their group in the Bob Willis trophy! I have winning on my mind and there is no doubt we should beat this shower. They really are very poor, not up to PL standards, two recent rogue results notwithstanding, and there is little excuse for us not winning comfortably. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
