Villa player loan watch

[Matt C]

MoM performance from Gardner apparently.

We could do worse than recalling Gardner. He seems to have hit form for them and is looking sharp and we're currently light on options whilst waiting for Delph's return. Sanchez is still struggling with the pace of the Premiership at the moment and I'd probably play Gardner over Westwood as things stand. Gary at least offers a long range rifle.

I'd leave him there for now, isn't it only until January anyway?  Might as well let him complete the loan spell and get as much confidence as possible.  Aside from that his form seems to still be a bit up and down but his goal should do him a lot of good.

It's funny, we're always harshest on our own players (regardless of which club you support), Gardner seems to be getting lots of poor reviews from Brighton fans. They're hardly pulling up trees so it might be best to monitor his performances between now and January.

Some good movement from the Seagulls players in the attack which led to the goal. PL and RK should let young Gary take a training session when he rejoins us and tell him give our players a few tips on the subject.

MoM performance from Gardner apparently.

Brighton fans don't seem to rate him at all.

Joe Bennett... Please please please stop trying to take on players in your own half.

Thanks.

Ungrateful bastards.

And Gordon Bennett and Landscape Gardner (lol) are probably the pick of our loanees at the moment. It doesn't say too much really, particularly in regards to Lamberts signings.

Enda Stevens back out on loan at Doncaster

[Matt Collins]

Gardner has had so long out he needs at least until Xmas playing regularly

One goal which the keeper should have saved doesn't mean he needs to be playing premier league football

[Percy McCarthy]

He's scored again.

[OCD]

With any luck he'll be a factor for us in the second half of the season.

He'd struggle to be as ineffective as Westwood and Cleverley to be fair to him, and would at least offer something a little different.
That said I don't think he'll make it at this level now. Too many important years lost to injury which is a damn shame.
He's better off staying there as long as possible too, if he comes back here he's likely to play 2 minutes and then end up injured again.
