If we learnt anything under Bruce's tenure is that we should never play Axel at RB. He really undermined our attacking play when playing there imo. He's a CB. RB should be Elmo and definitely not Hutton.

Imagine if all your posts seemed to come from such a thoughtful place as this one.

Oh my you'll always find something to moan at. Not saying you're wrong, but do you ever wonder if you need to lighten up?

Haha arg. Joleon!

No way they're better than the mighty Micah Richards and Aaron Lescott!

Elmo>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Hutton

Enjoy the win? Let all the anger go.

Hmmmm. Do you even watch the games? Was that a 'wonder strike'?

Whelan nearly costed us the game eh. We were fine today. It was a tight game, so where's your fair analysis? Or does your 'alalysis' only go as far as finding something to bitch about? We had easily the best chances up to Whelan going off.

Surely what you actually want is promotion? This may be why you seem so unsettled. If, for you, after the summer we had, it's promotion or disaster then you've only got yourself to blame.

Surely if you've had issues with your shins then it's worth protecting them a bit more? Every little helps.

Smith's Brentford team played on another level to how we were playing in the period without Jack (when we looked dire). You must be able to consider that the problem is down to the squad and that given time and signings he'd be able to get us playing well too even without our best player. He never had a Jack at Brentford. It goes without saying that the ceiling is vastly higher with Villa than Brentford. The bit in bold: Bruce had Tuanzebe and Jack throughout the start of the season and did nothing. With our full-strength team we look menacing and effective. So I guess you have to draw your conclusions from that.

Clubs get promoted with loan players very very often.

So tedious.

Biggest improvement over a few games I've ever seen. He was so bad in his debut and he was quality yesterday.

I'm just happy for him. He has an international goalkeeper on the bench, so he has the impetus to keep it up. He didn't have to do much today to be fair.

Jack Grealish under Bruce was nothing compared to Jack Grealish under Smith. Having a manager who likes to attack has made all the difference.

It's not over yet I don't think.

Ha. Ok fair enough. Seriously though we have no weapon without him. I think our team doesn't necessarily need Grealish to function, just a type of player who has some pace and can be a bit dangerous. That's what we've been missing since he's been injured. Also, the quality in the captain's football ability has never been as different between two games as today and the last game.

No idea what this means. Shame you can't enjoy us playing better. Edit. He should wear proper shin pads though.

He makes no difference.

We were amazing before Smith came in.

By all accounts Barca were not great against Sevilla at the weekend. Messi also wasn't that great, but he scored a hattrick of high-quality goals. They go on to win 4-2. Star players are the difference between losing and winning and drawing and winning. Grealish is that for us—he may not score or get that many assists even, but it is clear as day that his running with the ball brings people into play in positions that are threatening and that they wouldn't have been in without Jack. It's not a hard-luck story—it is indisputable. Disputable only by those desperate to make everything black and white bad. Ronaldo pretty much single-handedly won Portugual the Euros ffs!

Comes across as if you're willing yourself to be angry.
