The question is why isn't Callum O'Hare anywhere near the first team squad?

I've seen a fair amount of under 23s football.

Callum is a great prospect but he's miles away from being ready.

He didn't look miles away when he played the occasional cup game.

I just think at times, take last night for instance he could provide a bit of impetus when we are looking flat.

We must have some agreement with the spuds regarding Onamah's game time. If we don't play him other clubs will probably be less likely to loan players out to us. From what i've seen so far he's a bit meh

I’d like to see O’Hare on the bench

But I agree division 2 under 23 football is very low quality and inadequate preparation. He needs to go on loan

I think people are judging Onomah a lot more harshly than hourihane - they’re both out of form

Hourihane has been underwhelming certainly.  Onomah has just been plain poor though.  Really, really poor.  He clearly isn't 'ready' for this level, and he isn't our player, so why continue with him?

I'd don't buy disinterested at all, in fact I find that sort of criticism to be witless largely.

The issue with Onomah is his decision making is poor both in moving the ball on, but crucially defensively.  As has been said, he's been poor and his form has not improved. He's a holding player and has no business being in front of Jedinak or BB.

Which player has a clause that says he has to play 75% of all games if fit, that is on loan at Villa?

For me it is clear on the ball Onomah has bags of talent however he either lacks the conditioning to ever speed up his lumbering movement around pitch or he lacks the desire to get stuck into the game.

Tackling wise he is actually decent at nicking a ball from an opponent but he seems terrified or unwilling to actually put his body on the line in a challenge

Not convinced he is 100% committed to the cause of getting Villa promotion.

As for Hourihane, think he has been pretty average all season & is easily ungraded if we go up but he has that great knack of coming up with goals.

We both know hes not the answer

worrying times at the moment as our midfield looks so poor at the moment , does make me wonder what Lansburys done wrong , not saying hes the answer but he deserves a crack at least to see if he has a point to prove.

To be honest, he hasn't looked out of place on the occasions he has played for the first team.
