    Great work breaking up play and protecting back 4. Really slow and passing off still. As long as he sticks to the breaking up and destroying role we can build from there. And nice to see him being quite vocal and standing up to the opposition as well.

    I really hate the abuse Westwood gets but his time is up. He is dreadfully short on confidence and if jedinak is playing the defensive role then that makes him unneeded. Tishbola should have played instead I think. AW has always been the deepest lying mid but that has to be jedinak if he can break thinks up and protect the back four like today. Gardener is more attacking and from the choice we have right now tishbola seems to be somewhere between the two. No badfeeling towards Westwood from me but he is at the end of the line well and truely at the moment, Jed, Tish/Bacuna and Garderner for me at mo

    It's a fair point, I think this was a major reason we didn't see the best if Vertout last season along with new country, language and poor manager.

    I like baker. Not bothered about if he was or will be prem standard as all that matters is now and right now he's should start next to Chester. Been doing well and taken his chance. Competiton for places is good and Elphick will have to wait/fight to get back in.

    Great goal
  6. honest_bertie
    The more I hear him talk and the more good results the more I like him. Thought he was the right choice but didn't really want him as I've never really liked him. Must admit I think now I was just being pig headed, from all accounts seems a decent guy, pleased to be here and Doing what's needed so far. More and more I hope he can be the success we've been waiting for the last however mangers. Lots of work to do but he's got my support.

    Didn't play well second half but generally I thought he was the only player who looked like he new how to actually use the ball. I quite like him, seems to have a bit of intelligence to his play and understands the idea of passing, moving and creating space etc. Unfortantly he seems alone in that though.

    So wish we had Albrighton here rather tha JG. Jack shouldn't be starting. Has some skills but for all the hype still not good enough and not performing as he should. Wolves guy Costa is 8 months older and 8 times the player from what I saw yesterday.
  9. honest_bertie
    Really?! Looks pretty average to me, don't remember one good delivery from him or shot

    This. Played well for about 10mins and then back to the usual of running into players, and waving his arms around when he looses possession.

    Chester needs some help holding that defence together. I think he was the only outfield player who looked like he knew what he's doing and what his role was. Should have been sent off but was constantly making up for the rest of the defence being shit and having zero protection worth speaking of from our midfield.

    Not going to be CH but would be happy if it was

    Not sure who I want now, feels like whoever comes in will doomed by the Villa curse. I like the idea of Dyche but for some reason Bruce just seems to make sense in a way that fits right now. Never been a fan of Bruce but think at this moment in time he might be the best option. Confused.
  14. honest_bertie
    Probably be Bruce and although I would prefer someone else he makes sense. Alternatively I would like Houghton or Wagner but both a bit riskier and would require compensation.
  15. honest_bertie
    Can't believe I have been reduced to being ok with Bruce or Fat Sam managing Villa. Would prefer Rowett or the Huddersfield boss but whatever RDM got to go.
  16. honest_bertie
    So glad I didn't pay to watch this one on nowtv. Sounds like we turd
  17. honest_bertie
    Hope we win but can't see it. 1-3 Please prove my pessimism unfounded Villa
  18. honest_bertie
    Sorry, No thats not the case. He's recieved praise from certain posters, but not universally. Although he's done ok I don't think he has has been at the level he should be yet this season or ever in a villa shirt. Considering all the hype he gets I think he still has a long way to go and as yet should not be a definite starter in first 11.

    I'd consider dropping both Grealish and Ayew. Would like to see a front two of Kodija and RMc. And 4 in midfield... MJ, AA, Tish and someone else but not sure who, guess it would be GG or AW. In that senario and with less pressure being part of 4 rather than 2 I'd try GG, plus he seems slightly better than AW in final third. Or maybe one of the u23s, might as well

    Still think Garde had to much against him. Poor squad with awkward players, no backing from chairman and was hung out to dry. When he started he seemed to attempt to set up the team with balance and tried to settle the ship so to speak but It wasn't to be and in the end had to go. At least he seemed to have an idea but no backing. I always thought it was a shame he wasn't backed in that Jan. I'd be interested to see what Garde would have done with 50 mil to spend this year. RDM seems to have less idea and has been backed more than enough.
  21. honest_bertie
    As much as I like Ayew and Grelish and would like to see them tear up games I can't help but feel they are bit detrimental on balance to the team. Ayew seems to show brilliance without end product and i get annoyed the way Grelish seems to slow things up and more often than not runs into a tackle or gets pushed off the ball. So wish we could play with 2 wingers keeping wide and creating space and chances for Kodija and RMc up front. Hopefully Adomah will be one those sort of players but at the moment I think Ayew and JG aren't effective enough.
  22. honest_bertie
    I like RDM, think he recruited pretty well and probably missed out on a few targets, especially in midfield that we would be seeing in the team each week now had we got them. I like the back room team he has put together. But like like others what concerns me is his ability to organise and inspire the team. Someone mentioned are the back room staff not advising him or is he just going with his own view and being blind to what seems obvious to most of us? I'm wondering this, so far it's been square pegs round holes. I hope he can sort it out but have concerns.
  23. honest_bertie
    cant believe I'm thinking it but would prefer Gabby in his place right now!
  24. honest_bertie
    Didn't seem to bother to celebrate when Grelish scored, just started walking back whilst everyone else went to Jack. Moody and selfish.
  25. honest_bertie
    Dr T has done all he could have so far and more. The only one thing that I think he's made a mistake in is tweeting about how Ayew would be going knowhere. It was before the season started and since, except for some good dribbling Ayew is yet to show why he's worth keeping, in fact his moody attitude and lack of willingness to play in others worrys me. I hope we don't just keep him because of that stance. Would prefer a replacement to play alongside RMc
