Hafnia Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Have a look at sky sports 1, the fa cup is a great game to get some big game experience for young lads. We can trust moyes - however we also know him too well by now to think that his sub choices are always right... Far from it. Shane equipped himself tremendously when called upon before. Playing in the first team is great acclimatisation for any young player. Communication, tempo, aggression all very different to reserves.

Hafnia Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Meaning cup competitions are games where young players can learn from, I dare say Villas kids learned a lesson last night. Difference is we were home and dry at the stage where moyes could have played barkley and duffy. Villa started with them. Cup games are great couldrons that can expose players to the realities of the game - make them realise what an opportunity they have and see the hunger in aging journeymen who would love the opportunity that they have got.

markduff Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 As he said himself today.... Good things come to those who wait!!!

c1982 Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Villa started with them. Villa have been playing the young lads for the past 2 seasons now - if anything they played less youngsters than they have been last night! Some of the lads look good notably Clark and Weimann also Lowton and Westwood (who they signed in the summer) but these lads are crying out for leaders on the pitch - James Collins and Warnock would have probably improved their defence at least! We're a completely different case and to be honest I'll trust in what Moyes is doing rather than Lambert. Their time will come and when it does let's hope they stick around for a long time!

Shukes Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Off topic sorry. But it just reminded me that only twelve months ago there were so many people on here saying it's time for Moyes to go and that Lambert would be a good replacment. Amazing what twelve months can do.

Lambert's not a bad manager, Aston Villa are awful and he made a bad decision to take over the mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalziel Kane Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 I said some time in the recent past that Moyes' time has passed, and he could do no more or take us further etc, and with it, suggested Lambert as a name worthy of consideration, but what the hell has been going on since leaving Norwich I don't know. He's a good manager as the last response put it, but the trouble lies with the club itself it would seem, it was a step back going there from Carrow Road It was an almost similar scenario with Hodgson from Fulham to the shite, and Rogers from Swansea to the shite once again. They wanted a challenge or to take on a bigger club, but should have stayed where they were and continued their good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 I think lambert is an excellent manager. He will prove what a good manager he is by rectifying the shite left by the 3 managers before him in mccleish, houllier and oneill. He will have them in a good place within a year.

Dalziel Kane Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 The word is 'absinthe' damn it, and what was wrong this time about what was mentioned. Let me make it clear for people - A short time ago - we were playing badly - Moyes was under pressure - we weren't getting results - Lambert was at Norwich - doing well - people talked about (again) Moyes should go - I was one of them - Lambert was mentioned - it didn't happen - he moved on to another club - Moyes stayed - Lambert has been poor this time and hasn't duplicated his success of before - he should have remained where he was and continued his good work - they may even have won a trophy of all things - similar to when Walker was in charge even, before he arrived here. Hodgson was doing very well at Fulham - left to go elsewhere to a bigger or more established club - it didn't work out. Rogers was doing very well at Swansea - left to go elsewhere to a bigger or more established club - it didn't work out. End of story Above all else, this thread is about the Duffy kid. I suggest people concentrate on that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 I think a valuable point to be made from your post DK is that the previously good performing managers went and inherited clubs that were going in the wrong direction after some bad buys. It took moyes years to get us where we are in terms of structure and culture. Managers can't be brought in to wave a magic wand. Often things get worse before they get better - changing the mindset, ridding the changing room of mood hoovers etc. For me Rodgers is the biggest con artist in the league. He inherited the work of Sosa and Martinez. Laudrup has further improved on that and retained the culture - enhanced it even. Look at Norwich - houghton has carried on the great work of Lambert. pete0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalziel Kane Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 I think Houghton has done a better job than Lambert for his time there is all I'll add, which in retrospect, is quite an amazing feat. I thought at the time they'd fall like a house of cards when Lambert left to go to Birmingham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quinn31 Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Captain Duffy! http://www.donegalde...lland-1-4755610 I'd like to loan him out to a Championship side if possible when Hibbert, Coleman all return. I feel like it will give us a better indication if he is good enough to make it here. markduff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quinn31 Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 I agree 100% with you Quinn 31! Thanks. Definitely showing potential, but you never know with young players until they get consistent first team football somewhere. Problem is that we need to get some of our defenders back from injury, and I would imagine that most non-relegation fodder Championship sides are solid at the centerback position.

Dalziel Kane Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 I realize it's only under 21s but the Irish usually do poorly against the Netherlands. Maybe that result can carry on into senior level and change a few things, but that was a decent result for the kids there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
