Don’t agree with this at all. Firstly he played at right back for Forest last season so the idea he can’t play there just isn’t true. It was 45 minutes and it’s just a kid a little too eager to jump in that found himself caught a couple of times. Not sure how anyone can conclude something so definitively with such a short sample size and rather than wild conclusions it can just be he didn’t play as well as he’d/we’d like instead.

Would really implore people to check out Mubamas record at u21/b team level if they really do find those records in anyway relevant for our young strikers.

Incredible to think in the summer you were giving the opinion the club should be strengthening in attack and yet here you are coming out with this.

U21's currently 5-4 up with 20 minutes to go against Boston United. Were 2 behind on a couple of occasions.

He’s a massive player for us. I’d be a little surprised if he’s not in tomorrow.

He’s 24 until he’s 25 😉 Again, my point is it’s okay for people to not be an immediate success. Don’t really care for THB scenario specifically but the season is long and squad building in a transfer window to have options later down the line seems perfectly sensible and part of a players career. October isn’t the time to judge signings and that’s very relevant here too. Maybe it doesn’t work out for him. Or players in a similar situation here (like Ronnie Edwards) but time and opportunities will dictate that.

This place is mad. What is this guff 😂

Do you remember Ronnie Edwards? I don’t know enough about Villa to try to understand but I don’t think it’s unusual that a young player stepping up has to bide his time before getting into a successful side. Not entirely sure why this place cares either but given the RM is 400 pages long I’m sure this still has plenty of legs in it left 😂

We currently have a couple of signings waiting for their chance ourselves. It’s almost as if a couple of months is not enough time to judge anyone and being an immediate success is not a necessity.

This is what I came on here to say. Really does get shown up by the actual footage 😂

I remember thinking expulsion seemed a bit much (mainly because it seemed so unprecedented) and being certain Eckert would be sacked. Listening to the arguments from much more objective and qualified people and reading the rationales behind the decisions are what informed me.

Don't think thats necessarily true given Rohl's work at Sheffield Wednesday got him a bigger move. Some clubs (especially abroad) will identify his work/talent/potential regardless of the overall outcome and might be interested if his contract doesn't get renewed.

Obviously none of it was ideal but anyone pretending that a suitable punishment would have been one that involved us continue to be given the opportunity to get out of the league that was trying to punish us is having a shocker.

You know you're not allowed to do this right? Doesn't matter how young the lad is, where he's stood or how good his mobile phone is, it's not allowed. And btw, if you actually read the commission report they are pretty dismissive of any attempt to pretend it's not a big deal. If you want to actually understand why this commission ended up settling on a suspended ban then it's pretty clearly explained why in the report and very easy to understand. But it will involve you having to row back on your opinion that the EFL had all the same context and information available to it that this commission did and just decided to flip the coin the otherway instead.
