Striker
Blair Adams is a name that just came back to me for whatever reason. A natural left back - basically impossible to find for us - and he doesn't get a single game here. First team player for Coventry; not the greatest standard, but Villa have signed players Adams's age from that division for their first team.
For whatever reason (I think a lot of it is the pressure at the bottom of the table and the managerial chopping and changing), there's no real path between the development squad and the first team unless the dev squad is being used to punish recalcitrant first teamers or keep Ondrej Celustka fit. Maybe we wouldn't need to pay the likes of Celustka and Dossena to hardly play if there was more of a path.
