Shite.... How old is he these days?!

I think he's 19.

Also no wiki page - get onto it Pala!

What team does he play for?

No news about Bratten?

Been linked with a loan to Rotherham United in the Championship

Weekend wrap:

EPL:

Brad Smith came on in the 61st minute and was lively for Liverpool in its 2-0 away loss to West Ham
Jordan Lyden was not in the Aston Villa squad.
Both Mark Schwarzer and Adam Federici were unused subs for their respective sides in Leicester's 0-0 home draw with Bournemouth. This included a penalty save by Bounremouth's Boruc.

what a sad state of affairs....

in England you have to head down to league One to find an Aussie who actually started and finished a game on the park.

And everywhere else isnt much better.

Most leagues are on a break. Elsewhere it is actually much better. England is no longer the be all and end all of Aussies abroad.

Most of our starting line-up are playing in Europe's top ten leagues.

Just took a peek at that..

Noticed 3 players on the books at Chesterfield.
Chris Herd signed there in september, and two others
Liam Graham (a23) and Blake Stewart (a19) both transferred in November

Should the aim be to have Aussies in the top 4/5 leagues and actually being in the starting 11 on a regular basis.

because Im not seeing it.

Thanks for the roundup u4

Have like about 6 in the top 5. A fair few in the top 10. Don't understand the negativity.

Can you name these 6 REGULAR starters please..........

Its not as good as our golden generation but its still better than other previous Socceroos generations contrary to popular belief. We have also improved prospects dramatically since the dark ages of 2012 and Holger's hobos.

Full game for Tom Glover for Spurs U21s in their loss to Man Utd and for Lowry for Birmingham U21s, who got an assist.

That should be the aim but it has only been achieved with one previous socceroos generation.

Still waiting 'Select Few....

I don't know why you're so optimistic. If you look at our best XI most of our players haven't fully established themselves in Europe yet.

Ryan is warming the pine
The right back spot is uncertain - perhaps Williams if/when he gets fit
Sainsbury is doing OK for Zwolle
The other centre back spot is uncertain - perhaps Wright who plays in England's third tier
The left back spot is uncertain - Smith looks promising but he's still not cemented in the Liverpool squad
Kruse is getting limited minutes
Jedinak's position looks shaky and could be transferred
Rogic is doing OK at Celtic but still not cemented his spot
Milligan is Milligan and will always be a hack
Leckie is playing at a high level and consistent
Cahill is nearly 100 years old
Juric is showing promise at Roda

So as you can see other than a few players no one is playing consistently at a high level in Europe. There's plenty of talent in the pipeline but it's always been that way, it's much harder to go from having loads of potential to actually fulfilling it.
I think probably in terms of our current depth and spread across the best leagues we are in no stronger position than the Holger period.

Cup matches for Bulut at 430am and Smith at 7am. Liverpool have Stoke so would be a good hit out if Smith gets 90

Is Liverpool's match broadcast on Aussie tv anywhere?

It is on Bein sports if you have that.

Will try and stream it than. Thanks.

Careful now, no room for sound logic, blatant truth or a bit of criticism on this Fanboy forum…. [-x
