• Dave and Tony, great posts. rnrnWhenever you guys talk about this subject, I always think there\'s much more you could divulge on what goes into making a top professional footballer from the youngest age, and all the things that could or did go right and wrong. rnrnWe\'ve had some brilliant anecdotes from Tony on his first-hand involvement with Brian Clough, and the insights you provide, Dave, on being a parent of a promising yoof are just brilliant reading. rnrnYou\'ve got such a tremendous memory for all this stuff, Dave, it would be great if you just sat down once a week and bashed out a stream of memories for us to enjoy. Do it through the ToffeeWeb Articles & Messages page and we can publish it as a series... I\'ll have a word with Harry — may even be able to fund a new iPad for you!!!...
  Michael Kenrick in Aston Villa set to snatch highly-rated teenager Jake Doughty from Finch Farm
• Johnthan 106. rnOf course if tarks is playing badly I too would want him out the team. rnrnI hope Jake is given a go at some point, my guess would be he\'ll play him in the cup midweek, alongside tarks though as they manage jarreds minutes. rnrnI don\'t think as you say Jake is that good on the ball though, he\'s got to prove he\'s worth his place at CB yet, which he hasn\'t had the opportunity in good run of games, but we all hope he gets it and takes it. ...
  David West in Blues ride their luck to chalk up a good opening win
• Paul @ 139, don’t give them a second thought. Moyes isn’t the future, but if he wins a cup this season he will go out with his head held high. Will he do it? He will need to change his approach big time....

  Andy Meighan in Aston Villa set to snatch highly-rated teenager Jake Doughty from Finch Farm
• Mike @ 136, rnrnThe manager will play Norgaard - Garner - Dewsbury-Hall unless one of them is injured - we all know it. He will put Armstrong, Rohl and Hackney on the bench. If we bring back Jack Grealish, George will join them.rnrnI only hope the senior players earn their recall rather than having it handed to them on a plate. Tarkowski doesn’t have to justify his place as “captain” despite making unforced errors every game, but the rest should....

• Yes MK. rnMoyes said in his post match, Hackney & Armstrong played because of the injuries. rnHe wouldn\'t have put Hackney in straight away, and Armstrongs only 19 remember he said. rnrnIf everyone was fit I\'d expect Garner & Norgard to start. rnrnHe\'s not changed, this selection came out of necessity. rnrnBut he has to use these players more that cameos, Garner & KDH were goosed near the end of the season, there\'s an opportunity to keep the team fresher, with these 2 playing more often, showed they are capable. rn...
