  1. We are at least putting in an effort in the last five minutes, we've got nothing through the middle so we're going long to a pretty ineffective strike force, but we are at least trying that. For me Grealish needs to come on, simply because he adds another method of getting the ball forward. McCormack without a midfield adds nothing.
  2. Wolves are stymying our creativity by fouling Hutton every time he gets the ball. I wish that was a joke.
  3. They also don't venture out further than 10 yards from a centre back.
  4. Over McCormack in a set up that doesn't involve playing the ball in to feet? All day every day.
  5. We've only scored more than one away on one occasion this season.
  6. I'd have McCormack off for Westwood or Grealish and I'd do it right now. We're not playing any football, we're launching long balls to a short man with a weight problem and hoping he'll nod them on to a £12m R2D2 with no pace.
  7. That's been coming and we could get a battering here.
  8. We appear to be launching long balls to our big man up front. I suspect he's not the right sort of 'big'. Adomah seems out best chance of doing anything in this game already.
  9. Is it me or has Stearman been playing since the mid-nineties?
  10. Baker is the focus of all our set pieces, it's going to make everything awkward.
  11. We're going to need big performances from the front two and the two in midfield - if the window goes well, then all four of them will not be starters in a months time.
  12. Can't believe the Baker one. If it wasn't for bad luck that boy would have no luck at all. I can't see us winning this.
  13. Bruce says 4-4-2 So Bacuna up the left hand side again.
  14. I quite like the mumbling oaf, he did well to keep us up for four seasons, even if he did have to sacrifice style, enjoyment and any sense of fun. He's a capable manager who I'm hoping will once again find his Villa experience to be one that starts with hope and ends in misery.
  15. This is both tricky and a big game. If we lose, I think the gap becomes such that we're a real long shot, but we're definitely capable of losing, we're weakened and Wolves are decent. If we win today, Bruce will have earned his corn.
  16. His immediate reaction to any and all forms of criticism is an immediate attack. It would be laughable if he wasn't president. Meanwhile, under cover of the shouting monkey, money has re-privatised the US health system and power has ended the hopes of a two state solution in Israel.
  17. Nice little interview here: I stil think people underestimate how much influence Steve Round has in what we're doing and what we will do.
  18. Which is interesting, because looking at the other players we're rumoured to be looking at, they seem to support this formation - something like: ------------------Lensbury-----Hourihane---------------- Adomah----------------Grealish------------Brady/Kodjia/Ayew ------------------------Kodjia/New CF---------------------
  19. Doesn't experience in football work the other way?
  20. I think with Hutton being out of contract at the end of the season, we need another right back - at the moment, for next season we'll have De Laet who won't have played for a year and Bacuna (and Richards, but I'm happily pretending he doesn't exist.) whether we need one now or in the summer becomes the question.
  21. I'd have though more like: -------------------------Jedi-------------------------- Adomah-----Lambsury---Hourihane------Grealish ------------------------Kodjia-------------------------
  22. He was everything good about football, a man whose love for the game was clear to anyone that saw him, a man of infectious energy and positivity with a massive talent for organisation and the determination to carry that through, someone who could see what was good in a player and make it fit his team or could make his team fit what was good in a player, and above all that, a genuinely nice man with time for everyone. He loved the game and it loved him back. I'm proud that we at Aston Villa were one of those that got to see all of those qualities. The game is a little less without him. RIP Graham Taylor.
