I'm gonna open a can of worms and say that I like Weimann and hope he stays. Think he's a good striker hampered by terrible tactics, formation and coaching

I feel severely deflated and have lost the belief that we will win games now. As soon as we were ahead against spurs I was thinking about how we could mess up the game. Still have hope and still want Lambert here, but I'm running out of patience now

The result was frustrating and Benteke out for 3 games is even worse but we played better and need to just keep going now. Lambert isn't getting sacked, we're not going to be very active in the January transfer window. Time to hope our squad has enough to get 30 more points

Sanchez had a poor game but has been rated by enough managers and played enough at the top level to suggest he's good, just not used to the league. Westwood has done enough in a Villa shirt over many many games to suggest he's one of our best midfielders. So suggesting he's not good enough for this level is suggesting Villa aren't a premier league team. Some people will agree with that, but I don't yet.

What a freak result

We're going down

I've been thinking, what with Notts doing so well this year, that if Grealish isn't going to feature would people be against him going back to Notts in January? In a hypothetical situation where he's unlikely to play for us

Just edited it to get some facts straight, didn't know he'd started the other games so just asked family how they thought he was getting on. General report is he's playing well with Garner, and Garner is THE MAN at that club right now, so if you're complimenting him as a striker and playing alright yourself, you will be staying in the side, so he's doing everything right at the moment

Thought I'd give an update, as I was saying before family all Preston fans so easy to keep tabs. Tonight is his 3rd start in a row for them since the loan was extended to January. He's playing well and has scored a good goal to put Preston ahead tonight in league 1 vs Leyton Orient. His issue, as I said previously, I thought would be the form of Joe Garner who is a good player who knows the level and is banging them in this season. However they seem to be playing well up front together which is only a good thing for us, as it means he's learning to play with a good goalscoring striker rather than a Kevin Davies "hoof and head" football They have 2 games in hand, this one being the first, because of internationals so there will be a lot of games between now and January, so I would expect him to be the guy to be relied on when the other strikers need a rest over the coming weeks. Lots of midweek games and they are about to play 4 away games in a row I'm sure a lot of people, with everything that's going on, would say that he could do a better job here than what we have due to our situation. This may be true, but i personally think the best thing this lad can do at the moment is stay as far away from our club as possible. Preston are a good club and on the up. Good coaching staff and don't exactly play the best football but play effective and fast football and know how to keep possession and hold onto leads. Very professional outfit and a good place to be
