BOF Posted April 26, 2011 Author Moderator Share Posted April 26, 2011 An inauspicious start by the lads. I didn't expect much from this game tbh. Chelsea are gunning (pun intended) for the title and ours isn't anything like our strongest side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaRoy Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Nah no streams. Ah gutted, cheers for letting us know. Still 2-1. 15 mins left. Wonder if Gardner can start pushing for a first team squad place next season, if not, hope we send him on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted April 26, 2011 Author Moderator Share Posted April 26, 2011 The game tomorrow determines whether we finish 3rd or 4th (come on you Dingles). Thursday's game impacts on the Southern title. United already have theirs wrapped up (which might help Arsenal...)

Perhaps the less-competitive nature of reserve football is exactly what he needed - not to mention that Villa would then be able to keep a closer eye on his recuperation. So ordinarily I'd agree with you, but given the nature of his injury, I think they were probably right on this one to err on the side of caution.

Hope he gets sent out on loan come start of the new season. Interested to see how he takes to competetive football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted April 26, 2011 Moderator Share Posted April 26, 2011 Ah well, it's been a funny old season this one - a changing of the guard has taken place and we've been a bit scruffy at times. I can't remember us using so many players in a season as this for a long time. Still, there's been a good sized group who've had a first look at it and they'll be better off for the experience and whilst it's possible that Gary Gardner might push straight through, the rest will be back next year. I've liked the look of Carruthers this term and Berry, Ellis, Johnson and Devine look to have a fair bit of talent, some of the very young ones have a bit about them too and Serrano is supposed to be a decent prospect so we might do well next time out. The one thing we lack at the moment coming through is a striker, Forrester showed some improvement towards the end of the year but it'll be make or break for him next season and there doesn't seem to be an out and out striker behind him. We've got excellent coaches and the way they've developed the crop that have just come through suggests that they'll get the best out of those to come - next season should be very interesting - especially if we can find our next number nine.

sir_gary_cahill Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 good post obe, i agree with all of it but i don't think we have a striker who's good enough or old enough to be a regular in next season's reserves. I think robinson is a real talent but will mainly play with the u18s and connor taylor is a dead cert to be released at the end of this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAlex Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Skysports.com understands Barnsley are poised to seal a summer swoop for Aston Villa youngster Harry Forrester. The young forward looks set to leave Villa Park in the summer and the Tykes have moved quickly to secure his services. Forrester has impressed during his time with the Midlands outfit's academy and reserve sides and is now poised to be given the opportunity to continue his career with the Championship side. Oakwell boss Mark Robins has invited the talented and versatile attacker to join the South Yorkshire side for training ahead of his expected switch at the end of the season. Forrester has been capped at youth level for England and has featured alongside the likes of Nathan Delfouneso for Villa's second string. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11677_6899349,00.html Thought he was brilliant v Liverpool, probably best for his career though?

sir_gary_cahill Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 taylor will be there next year , as will all the 2nd years well i'm shocked, it just shows that there is a dearth of quality young strikers at the club at the minute, even reece caira?
