| Jaden Philogene 10:28 - Dec 21 with 1010 views | Churchman | I know plenty didn’t want him here and even just a few weeks ago some wanted him out of the door. ‘Cut our losses’ was one dismal expert’s take on him. Watching him yesterday - what a terrific, exciting player he is. At times he’s totally unplayable. Give him any space at all and he’ll tear you a new one. He was very unlucky not to score that over the head attempt to add to his personal goal of the season competition. I’ve no idea what his transfer fee was, but if we don’t go up there will be plenty of Premier League clubs wanting his services. Jack Clarke isn’t too shabby a player either.

It was about both of them, if memory serves me right. |  | |  |

On Clarke I will hold my hands up as I couldn't really see the fit but both parties are making it work. [Post edited 21 Dec 10:38]

Clarke has the ability to let the ball do the work. He’ll let it run and go either way around his marker and like JP if you are left one on one with him, your day isn’t going to improve. I’ve not seen it back yet, but for his goal I don’t think the defender had any idea where Clarke was which, along with tiredness, was why he made such a dogs dinner of it. |  | |  |

Dogs dinner correct, The defender seemed in a pickle done what he had to do get between Clarke and the ball then did nothing, I suspect he needed more from his goalie who did nothing, Good for Clarke for not giving it up, Last year cajuste was probably my fav player this year Clarke's up there in his cameo appearances a lot better in a town shirt than he was a year ago, |  | |  |

No one is Premier League quality until they get a chance to be. He's played in the Champions League for Villa, so Emery thought him good enough for that. |  |

He had several against him earlier in the season. |  |

Those questionable places often start with 'blue'... in my experience, and are anything but. |  |

| Jaden Philogene on 11:21 - Dec 21 with 619 views | SouthfieldsBlue | The left wing role is the only position where if we went up I'd be content sticking with who we've got there. Everywhere else needs either improvement or a back up. Philogene and Clarke I'd be content to give the season to. Philogenes ability to score from outside the box will be crucial next season, Villa been demonstrating all season it's importance with so many teams in the Prem going low block every game. |  | |  |

Good shout. Thijssen was the best I’ve seen for this club (different type of player, of course). Clive Woods’ control was good too. As for JP playing in the Premier League, I can see him playing at that level. His all round game has improved. |  | |  |

So you'd be happy with going in with: St: Hirst with Azon as back up AM: Nunez with Smodzics as backup RW: Egeli with McAteer as back up LCM: Cajuste with Taylor as back up RCM: Matisuwa with no back up LB: Davis with no back up LCB: Kipre with Greaves as back up RCB: O'Shea with no back up RB: Furlong with Young/Johnson as back up GK: Walton with Palmer as back up If we want to stay up, all of those positions need an upgrade on either the first choice or the backup. LW is the only one we're I'd be content to stick with the two we have at present. |  | |  |

No way...unless you're about 15 years old. The two Dutch men had the ball attached to their boots by an elastic band. Colin Viljoen, superb ball retention and passing. Gio...fantastic. Even Pablo was better than Jaden. |  |

| Jaden Philogene on 13:14 - Dec 21 with 332 views | Mercian | I am no expert on football positions or tactics but from what I see he plays almost as a false winger. He looks at his most dangerous when he leaves the wing and moves to the number 10 position so why not start him there leaving the LM/LW for JC to start? Egeli is still raw but has huge potential on the right side and I also think McAteer has a lot of improvement in him and he is slowly starting to show that. Adding Szmods and WB to the equation were are well covered on the wings but our only natural CAM is out on loan and I am not sure Chappers has a future at Town. [Post edited 21 Dec 13:15]
