He needs a run of games or a loan move. His delivery is very good, but it must be hard coming into such a poor unit at 21.

Is it ?

As much as i desperately want to see Bree do well i've seen nothing to suggest the above is true

The only full back we've got that has a good delivery is Elmo

Disagree, I think Bree can cross nicely. And yeah, I'd say it's a lot harder walking into an inexperienced rabble of a unit rsther than an organised one. Self evident really.

You think Barry would have looked as good as he did if he was walking in alongside Chester and Elphick as opposed to Southgate and Ugo?

I admire your conviction, but I've got say I've seen nothing in Bree that makes me have high hopes for him, absolutely nothing.

Not really a conviction Lee, more I've not seen him and won't write him off yet.

I hope you're right and I'm wrong.

I think there's been a few little things which show that Bree could become a decent player but we've effectively stalled his career for 2 years and it will take a few more games and confidence playing regularly brings before we see if that player is still in there.  As I've said before I'd rather have Bree in making mistakes than Hutton or Elmo making them, With Bree there's a hope that experience will fix them, with Hutton and Elmo their experience has done nothing to solve the problems.

I would not be surprised if both Bree and Connor both sign new contracts in the summer

Was he injured ?

The club wheel him out for interviews in the week and the lads saying how much he realised the Wigan performance was unacceptable. Turn up today to find fucking Hutton is back in doing his carthorse impression for 90 minutes. How is Bree ever going to show us what he can do if he's not even on the bench?

He has never remotely impressed in a Villa shirt let's be honest. If he was fit today but didn't make the 18 then he may well have made his last appearance for us.

Agree. In fact, bin all of our players that haven't made it by the time they've turned 21, they're obviously shit.
