Villa player loan watch

[Matt Collins]

Doncaster got a keeper in from elsewhere so I don't think he was gonna play

Good that robinson scored tho from the highlights he doesn't look first team ready to me (very brief glimpse of him tho)

[peter w]

Well Preston are in a good run of form and he is in the team. So, he must be doing something right.

[Matt Collins]

Absolutely

It is two leagues down though. So best to leave him there for a bit

Bennett and Gardner starting for Brighton in the 5.15pm game if anybody is interested.

[olaftab]

I see Gardner's like taking grass cutter free kicks. With a bit of luck that could have been a goal.

[Percy McCarthy]

Our two looking okay at that level.

Seems our curse is spreading.  Aren't most of those near or in the relegation zones of their respective leagues?

Pretty much:

Bolton 23rd in the Championship
Yeovil 23rd in League One
Chesterfield 11th in League One
Tranmere 23rd in League Two
Brighton 21st in the Championship
Northampton 15th in League Two
Preston 2nd in League One

A couple of Preston fan's thoughts on Robinson:

We had Danny Wellbeck mate and he struggled at our place and hes kind of a similar build and player nice touches and that but you thought to yourself about Wellbeck, uumm not sure! But the rest is history. So you never know.

Get better players around your lad giving him more time on the ball and you could have a similier story to Wellbeck. But this is a tough division mate and you dont get that time on the ball but it won't do him any harm and you just have to look at Wellbeck now to see anything is possible.

 I personally thought Robinson was crap yesterday. Been a better player coming off the bench than starting. Never beat the fullback once. In fairness, young lads like that need to be given a challenge and in my opinion, since he got the starting shirt, he's kind of lost the hunger. If you see where I'm coming from.

 I was crying out for Reid to come on in his place. Nothing against Robinson but wasn't effective enough yesterday

 Needs to put 2 stone of muscle on !
Never got a sniff out of the full back yesterday
Not sure of his best position wide or central
1 thing I do like about him he always gives 100% and seems to have a good attitude ( unlike a lot of our ex loan players )

 Hes a luxury player that was what I was saying but nobody was really on it yesterday. All the lads looked off the pace. When he took Welsh off he could have took anybody off. Just an all round bad day at the office. Lets see how we react on Tuesday.

Brighton fans not too impressed by Gardner's efforts at the weekend, 3/10 type ratings - http://www.northstandchat.com/showthread.php?312078-Player-Ratings-Bournemouth-away

A few more updates from the weekend:

Sylla played 53 minutes in Erciyesspor's 1-1 against Rizespor.
Helenius come on in the 58th minute in Aalborg's 2-0 win against Silkeborg.
Luna sat on the bench for Verona, they drew 1-1 with Cesena.

[eamonn]

This lot seem to be stinking their respective clubs out! We're not going to be stuck with them again next summer, are we?

Luna's move is pointless if he's on the bench, he should go back to Spain where a Segunda team will pick him up.

Tonight's updates:

Gardner and Bennett played the whole game for Brighton in their 1-0 win against Wigan.  Gardner scored the goal
Bolton won 3-0 against Cardiff no sign of Herd again.
Preston lost 1-0 to Swindon, Robinson was on the bench never got on.

[eamonn]

Saw Gary's goal, sound was turned down but his Gardner stance is quite noticeable once you've seen either play. Hopefully he got more than three out of ten ratings on the Brighton fan forums. Those ghosting runs from midfield is certainly something he is capable of and should be doing more.
