Villa player loan watch

Looks like the definition of moaning for the sake of it has been written.

One thing I would credit Lambert on as opposed to his predecessors is that he has got a lot more of the youngsters out on meaningful loans rather than u21 football, Robinson is a great example of this, hopefully he comes back ready to challenge for a shirt

[olaftab]

He was on the verge of breaking into our team . 19 is a prime age nowadays for anyone with real talents . Loaning him seems bizarre when the back up is Darren bent

Yes bring him straight into a struggling team in dire straits and destroy him permanently rather than loan him out to a good club at lower level and let him build confidence.

"Moaning for the sake of it" ?? Really .
5 in 14 ? We are desperate right now for a goalscorer

He's a young kid. He's never played at anywhere near this level. And you're slagging the manager for letting him go on loan.

Heard Robinson being interviewed after his hat trick in the FA Cup and was impressed wih his attitude and admitted he would have had a bollocking when he scored at near post for the first. Really admired Kevin Davies (who was chatting with him) allowing him to take the penalty for his hat trick ahead of him when he is apparently chasing 150 goals. Robinson seems to be gaining massively in confidence and will grow as a young man. Just hope when he comes back he will get a proper chance unlike Grealish

I'm pretty sure that Robinson playing regularly for Preston is much better for him, and us, long term than the odd 5 mins from the bench for us. Complaining that a 19 year old out on loan is doing well so it was a mistake to send him out in the first place seems a tad OTT to me.

Nice assist from Johnson.

How did GG do for Brighton today?

Played full game in 3-3 with Norwich .

[Clampy]

Can't we just recall Calum Robinson ?
Loaning him out ? Another lambert masterstoke

With respect, what utter rubbish. Young players need to go out on loan. Just because he's scoring goals, it dose'nt mean Lambert buggered up sending him out.

Updates from yesterday:

Steer played the whole game as Yeovil won 2-1 away at Notts County.
Donacien played the whole game as Tranmere lost 2-1 to Southend.
Stevens played the whole game as Doncaster won 3-1 away at Rochdale.
Bennett and Gardner played the whole game as Brighton drew 3-3 away at Norwich.
Johnson played 80 minutes as Oldham drew 1-1 with Sheffield United.  Johnson set up the goal.
Robinson played the whole game as Preston won 1-0 away at Bristol City.  Robinson scored the goal.

 He looked good when he came on against Citeeeh last season, him and Grealish played much better than the players they replaced.

 Having said that, because we are so shit atm, playing them regularly could destroy them.He looks as if he has a good attitude, let him stop there, he needs to develop, i always had high hopes for Delf, but something went wrong there.

 Keep him at Preston, it just shows how poor we are atm, that we are pinning our hopes on a young lad on loan at Preston.

[Matt Collins]

Sending a player on loan to a team two divisions down, who takes a little time to get going before starting to do really well, is surely a sign that sending him on loan was the right thing to do. Not the wrong thing

[pauliewalnuts]

This is one thing Lambert has got right. There's zero point these kids mooking around playing youth football games ad infinitum.

Grealish will have learned loads, both in terms of football and mental and physical fortitude from going to Notts County on loan. Were there many of us exalting him before he went out on loan? I don't think so.

Robinson, likewise, is going to get absolutely nothing from the odd 3 minutes here and there off the bench with us, he is going to get way, way more from going out on loan.

I can think of plenty - really, lots - of reasons Lambert deserves criticism, but this isn't one of them.
