Reserves v The Arse

[not3bad]

I'd really like to see the Fonz getting on the score sheet for the team.  He has plenty of ability, far more than Gabby.  He just needs something to click.

I wonder if it's an attitude problem? Wasn't that being hinted at earlier in the season by KMac if I'm not mistaken?

I've never seen anything but a willingness to play from him and besides, K Mac keeps playing him. And he keeps scoring.

Strange how this keeps getting mentioned.  I read an article over the summer from the England set up praising his attitude, saying how keen he was to learn.

How long before we start with Wiemann and Fonz up front for the 1st team and GG in the CM role

Yes that is why they prefered Weiman early season until that injury at Rapid Vienna, I also note that Osbourne got a game last night but nothing for Salifou or Davies. Has Salifou's head gone after that shooting incident?

i always thought salifou was garbage.. even at reserve level, he made osbourne look like vieira in his glory days...

I cant figure out why either of them are at the club at all. It is obvious Osbourne wont make the grade and Salifou is the footballing equivalent of a toy from inside a Christmas cracker. It is just a complete waste of money.

Good result from the lads though.

[It is obvious Osbourne wont make the grade...

Osbourne was a little bit lost first half with Hogg on and dominating the play. He played alot better second half when I suppose he was the experienced player.

He actually looked quite decent but if he struggles for confidence playing along side Hogg its not too difficult to see why he is so far from the 1st team.

I would not be too suprised to see Hogg start against Blues, Houllier must have been impressed and thats possibly why he didn't show for the second half.

if osbourne had a different head, then he could make it...

his physique is perfect for his position, and he is quick, etc...

but as he is bubba gump shrimp boy both in terms of whats up top, and aesthetics, he is pretty pointless..

shame really...

I suppose if we could just rip up their contracts then we would.

It makes me wonder that when we were throwing untried kids into the CM roles that Salifou and Osbourne never got a look in - i think Osbourne made the bench once?

Sure i saw recently that Osbourne had been given a new contract when MON was here - no wonder the board are pulling their hair out over what we are paying players not to play

As for the reserves - superb to beat anyone by that score - even with 10 men. Bet if the score had been the other way round they would have interupted SSN to report how great the Arse kids were 

[WikiVilla]

Talksport have mentioned the 10-1 quite a bit today, seems 1 or 2 are now starting to recognise what great kids we have in the pipeline and a 1st class set up under KMac / TMc

[Martyn Smith]

We want 10!

Hope you placed an inplay bet Legion :->

F**k me... I didn't know he'd been shot in the head!

Thanks for the Woodwank warning. Cnut.

The result even made the main sports page of the Sun website, how refreshing!

Rumours on WM that a Villa player could have made the Walsall starting line up tonight had a deal been done in time - a midfielder who's been on the fringes of the first team for some time - got to be Osbourne.

Gardner gonna be a massive player for Villa ........
