Darren Bent is good times are ahead for Aston Villa under new manager Paul Lambert.

Bent also sees more coming from the club's youngsters next season.

He said: "We have some good youngsters coming through and this year is their chance to shine.

"With one or two additions he (Lambert) brings in, it could be a really good year for us.

"Last season some of the youngsters had to come in and play five or six games straight off and they had never done that before.

"But they are a season on now and know what to expect from the Premier League.

"This season they will really shine and I really think Villa is going places."
