The_Lions_Roar Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 don't want to be just kicking lambert when he's down but why the **** was callum brought back from his loan,what was lamberts reasoning.no sense whatsoever. So that bent could go out on loan and off the books? Was this Lambert's decision? I'm not too sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 So that bent could go out on loan and off the books? Was this Lambert's decision? I'm not too sure. That could've happened without stalling the kid's development. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Nonsense to call him back, he was on a good goalscoring run at PNE at the time aswell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 My mate has Preston season ticket and was gutted. Their best forward Joel Garner is out for months still as well. If he does get a sniff now and scores, Lambert will probably get credit for bringing him back at just the right time and "giving him his chance" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he does get a sniff now and scores, Lambert will probably get credit for bringing him back at just the right time and "giving him his chance" And he'd be right to no? If he scored today, for example, then you could say he was bought back a month or so ago to train with the first team and get up to speed, then introduced at the right time. Good management. Or does that not fit the agenda? If he doesn't play between now and say the end of Feb then it was a poor decision in my opinion, but let's see how the lad progresses from here. He's got a chance.

VillaChris Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 He won't get a sniff unless there's injuries though, at the moment the front two is Gabby and Benteke and Weimann is next in line so Robinson can't even make the bench. The problem is we don't win games comfortably 2/3-0 anymore so we can't give our promising young players 15 minutes at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeParker91 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Ok now I'm confused, not even on the bench for the cup game? What's going on? He's cup tied. I'm pretty miffed he was brought back from his loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villan4Life Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) Ok now I'm confused, not even on the bench for the cup game? What's going on? he was cup-tied! played for Preston in earlier round and scored a hat-trick against Waterlooville http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2829200/Havant-Waterlooville-0-3-Preston-Callum-Robinson-hat-trick-sinks-NINE-man-non-League-FA-Cup-round.html Callum Robinson scored his first-ever career hat-trick as Preston North End eased into the second round of the FA Cup with a 3-0 victory against nine-man Havant and Waterlooville. The on-loan Aston Villa teenager scored twice in the first half and added a penalty with 10 minutes remaining as the visitors returned to winning ways against a non-League Havant side that saw Brian Stock and Warren Cummings sent off. The game was just seven minutes old when Robinson burst down the left and drilled past Havant goalkeeper Ryan Young at his near post.

VillaChris Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Ahh, was wondering why Graham Burke got on the bench ahead of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Lambert is too afraid to use the kids.. why did he get recalled? should have just stuck Burke on the bench instead of calling him back to fill the squad sheet. This kid could have had 10 goals by now and really been buzzing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raymond Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 The handling of Robinson is a legitimate gripe with Lambert. No way he should have been recalled unless he was going to play. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntrimBlack Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Absolutely. The handling of Robinson is completely indefensible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YLN Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Absolutely. The handling of Robinson is completely indefensible. Why did he bring him back then? Stupidity? Malice? Let's not just stick a 'wrong' hat on Lambert and then not ask where we got it. Remembering of course that hindsight is 20/20. Bent was heading off on loan with Derby agreeing to pay a large part of his wages, Benteke was just back after injury, and possibly not fit enough to play every game, in a wait and see sort of scenario. It was considered judicious maybe then that we would sacrifice a few months of Robinson's game time in League 1 in order to maybe have him come in and play back up to Benteke at Villa, in case we needed a striker in his mould. I think we're all sort of getting too bogged down on how important a loan spell like that is to a player's development. Especially a loan to League One. Probably not too much of a difference between League 1 and Reserves. And certainly if there's a chance of him getting a game in PL now and again, it might tilt the balance in favour of him coming back. Which it obviously did. Some players just don't go out on loan before they start in the Premier League and they don't turn out worse players as a result. There's no one saying that Drennan's loan to Portsmouth turned him into a superstar, or that Jack Wilshere would be a better player if he had done a year in Carlisle.

Jenko#4 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 He is injured at the moment, he has just tweeted 'Another good week of rehab, feeling good & strong, back running next week' That probably explains why he hasn't been used over the last couple of weeks........for all we know Lambert did have intentions of using him but couldn't.
