It's some going to try and make out giving a 17 year old his debut is a bad thing.

Playing a 17 year old with the atmosphere that is developing at Villa park is not going to help him thrive, as has been said it'd be wiser to play him at away games. But you keep believing Smith is perfect in every way. All Hail King Smith, Woe Betide Anyone Who Questions Our Great Leader

I was sitting in their family stand. Might have been a different game though.No we lost 1-0

His debut was 23rd Dec 1995, his next game was a start in the borefest home game against Boro 19th March 1996.
We lost 1-0. It was the game we had to bring Spink on to play outfield.
it'd be wiser to play him at away games...
