Enda Stevens

Well he'll be infinitely better than Santos anyhow, but if you're gonna make a full debut, it might as well be against quality players.  Hopefully he comes out and does himself justice, will be watching this with interest.

Yeah its great. Every now and then you click on a thread for a certain Irish player and you see he's gotten his break at last, brilliant.

Saw Enda play for Villa in the States in July and he played the full 90 at left back and was very solid defensively, and got forward a good lot and put some good crosses into the box.

This is a big step-up but hoping he does well.

EDIT: I lie, he didnt play the full 90. He came on as a sub at half time and the match went to extra time so he played about 75 mins altogether.

Bennett is a very good LB, with such a statement you must really know a lot about the 2, if he was better he would e starting right now, Lambert has no problem giving people their chance maybe give him time before saying he is better than the current one, a loan move will happen I reckon in January.

Villa are in a massive transition period, this season was always going to be a tough one and it has worked out that way!

There will be many ups and downs but on Saturday it was the best we played all season, Stevens done well when he came on into a very solid back 4, Clark was unbelievable and hopefully he keeps his place in the team cos he deserves it as does Stephen Ireland.

End of the day Enda could easily get thrown into the first team now with United City and Arsenal coming up and realistically could get destroyed and then we might not see him for a long time in the first team again, I just worry about throwing in players too soon, if he is picked on Saturday(which I highly doubt) I hope he does well.
