Race? How long was it before some do gooder hippy brought this up. Nabi wasn't good enough. If there was an Indian player good enough every club would want him. In a industry so heavily ruled by money, why would anyone care?

these posts are a classic example of how society has gone. Someone who isn't white fails in something and its a race inquest.

Nabi is 21. You'd have started to see improvement by now. Plus Campbell scored a quality goal at the weekend, why wouldn't they keep him.

 Nabi was only on the bench for Peterboro, the lad they signed from Spurs started.

How do we know Nabi hasn't improved ? He was probably a more consistent scorer through the age groups than Saido was which is why a lot are disappointed that he never got a chance. He certainly wasn't helped by last season being pretty much lost with an ACL injury.
It's irrelevant that he was sat on the bench on Saturday...often happens to new signings. Judge his Peterboro' career in 2 years time.

His knee injury that kept him out for a long time hampered him massively and he needed a loan move to a football league club long before he got the one to Delhi Dynamos. For what its worth I expect him to take a while to develop at Peterborough but just getting some game time will help him kick on but it was the right time to let him go to try and have a decent career in the football league somewhere.

WBA 2-4 Newcastle United

twice came from behind and missed a penalty at 2-2 before conceding twice in last ten mins.

Inexperienced side with Roberts and Spence on the scoresheet for Albion.

Interesting to see the name of Panayiotis Artymatas on the bench. I've looked him up and he is the Cyprus under 17's captain and we signed him in the summer.

As for the rest, I think Leko, R Nabi and T Roberts are all on international duty. Probably also Dool.

Leko was pulled back from international duty - probably to spend tomorrow night sat on the bench.

This is worth listening to, a podcast from Richard Garlick talking about the academy.

If it was easy, it wouldn't be Albion

0-0 at the moment. Looks a younger side than usual off the WBA twitter, Wolvo have had their keeper sent off on 56th minute and the replacement (whose a midfielder) apparently made a great save against A Samir Nabi free kick.

Yep, working till 6pm tonight so thought I'd take a stroll up to The Hawthorns and have a look.

Interesting to see just how bad their U21s are, if they can't break into their current first team?
