Popular Post useless Posted October 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 1, 2022 If Albion fans are getting carried away about last night's U21 result, thinking it's any kind of indication that their academy is doing better than ours, then their excitement is misplaced and they don't understand the bigger picture, same for any Villa fans that are reading too much into it and coming out with things like we signed the wrong Albion players. The main difference between the two sides last night was that we've loaned most of our better players, out whereas Albion have kept theirs with their U21s, I'm not sure why they're doing that, as a lot of them are around nineteen/twenty now, and need to be playing first team football somewhere, having it easy at U21 level won't be good for their development, they did the same last season which is why they were able to win the Premier League Cup which is good for them as a club in of itself, but again won't be good for the player' individual devleopment, as they're not being tested enough. Truth be told even if Albion wanted to loan out their better players, not many if any of them would get loans to clubs above League Two, whereas our better academy players are in the Championship or League One, that's the true comparison of how well the two academies are doing, our better prospects have all got moves to an high level, whereas theirs are still playing U21 football, the ironic thing is we've probably got more academy players playing at championship level than they have despite them being a Championship club. Or to put it in less words last night's result was becasue we've loaned out all our better prospects, whereas they have kept their's, we also have a lot of our better younsters still at the club injured or unavailable for selection, hence last night we played an U16 fullback in central defence, and a fullback turned winger as a lone striker, and a central midfielder at right-back, and a right-back at left-back. When you take all our academy players into account, last night's team was nowhere near our best, if everyone was available I'm not even sure if most of them would be second choice. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Didn't West Brom have some promising under 21 players a few years back that basically amounted to nothing. I remember in our promotion season Darren Moore was playing a few v us, Leko is now at SHA, no idea what happened to Sam Field. Tulloch is another but he's 21 and on loan at Rochdale so dosen't suggest he's going to be the next big thing (or at least have a Berahino impact for a few years).

Just chuck a few balls out onto a pitch. Then at the weekend he gets free tickets to the football, front row seats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
