The last one of the weekend is Luna, Verona are playing Palermo now, he hasn't made the starting 11 or the bench.

Surprised by that. Lambert has often spoke of how professional Gardner's attitude has been and he always comes across as likeable and mature on the avtv interviews. He was given a two year deal in the summer and he clearly has the talent so I'm not going to write him off yet based on suggestions of not trying.

I don't think there's an attitude problem with Gardner, but I agree he looks slow and ponderous.

I'm hoping that a run of games will mean he gets up to speed, but I do have reservations.

He's always looked slow footed too. With the pace of the game at this level, I think he'd really struggle, because if he receives a pass with an opposition player bearing down on him, I'm not sure he's got the speed in his feet to get control of the ball and shift it on before losing it. When you look at Barry as a comparison, despite a lack of pace, he was always quick footed and very good at getting out of tight spots. GG doesn't appear to have that. He can pick a pass, he can strike a shot well, but he'll perhaps need to much time to do so at this level.

Daniel Johnson set up 2 goals in Chesterfield's 4-1 win and also won a penalty (which was missed).

Preston North End FC

North End Loan International Forward From Aston Villa


England U20 international striker Callum Robinson has joined the Lilywhites on a youth loan and goes straight into the squad for the home game against Chesterfield.

The 19-year-old, who scored a brace on his U20 debut for the Three Lions recently has made five senior appearances for the Premier League side and joins PNE up to and including 18th October.

A product of the Villains’ youth academy, the Northampton-born front man made his debut for Paul Lambert’s side against Tottenham in September 2013 and made further appearances in the Premier League in 2013/14.

Callum has played for England at youth level from U16 all the way up to U20, making his debut in their win over Romania just 11 days ago, where he scored twice in a 6-0 triumph for Aidy Boothroyd’s men at Telford.

Manager Simon Grayson was delighted to add Callum to his attacking options after a weekend that saw his squad depleted by injuries and suspensions, he said: “It is no secret that we have needed another striker in.

“He's a player we have watched a lot. Villa hold him in high regard and that is why they have only just allowed him to come out on loan.

“He has a great attitude, is pacy, tricky and can play down the middle or wide in a three. His is an England international and we have beaten a lot of other clubs to his signature.

“We are very grateful to Paul Lambert for allowing him to come here and hopefully it will benefit Villa, the player and of course ourselves.”

Callum has been given the No.27 shirt and goes straight into the squad for the visit of Paul Cook’s Spireites to Deepdale and he is also eligible for the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy tie with Port Vale as well as the league games during the period.

I concur.

Callum Robinson has gone on loan to Preston.

Just shows that the 'Under 21' teams are a load of nonsense. If that system was any good, Robinson would be exactly the age of player to benefit.
