If he was a proven manager I'd say give he more time fact is he only got job on back of been a great player same as lampard Villa Chelsea  Everton are top jobs in management the fact they got them with  very  little experience shows its who you know not what you know 

Same shit different day/ manager we need someone to come in who knows how to set up a team that plays a certain style whatever style that maybe ,we look such an ordinary team with no real game plan can't see any improvement from last season, what's that now 3 wins from last 14 in league nowhere near good enough another season of struggle ahead 

Graham Potter would be my first choice plays good attacking football seems to improve all players he works with, Brighton  lost 3 of their best players you wouldn't even notice that still play same way , can't remember last time villa actually had a style of play maybe counter attacking under o Neill 

Leave as is for now till world cup break see where we are also give us time to make right choice should he leave

I remember Whelan being good for Stoke City in the Premier League in his pomp, he was a good, honest pro. We don’t want to put too much pressure on the young players. I have been guilty of it on here and in real life in the past and been made to look a fool on many occasions but I have a really good feeling about this current crop 

Ah yes done that myself fair few times over the years  hopefully this times the one,  can't remember the last time I've been looking forward to a season with this much optimisim hopefully strong start and we can push on this season utv

Whelan did a good job for us in The Championship and when we got promoted, we just discarded him, along with a host of others. I think they were unfairly treated at the time but that’s the harsh reality of football. As for Iroegbunam, I think I have only seen him once against Norwich City at home last season, he blew me away, he looks a great prospect

Ye Whelan done a good job for us but is a championship player at best, I'm Irish did the same for ireland for years always gave 100% , Think if we are to really push on this year we need to see if younger players are cut out for it at this level everyone saying great things about our academy needs to start showing in first team

Since Glenn Whelan? I think Tim Iroegbunam is going to be a fantastic player, without putting too much pressure on him. I have only seen him once against Norwich City at home last season in the 1-0 victory for us but he blew me away. He looks so confident and mature for one so young but like I said, I don’t want to hype him up too much 

Ye Whelan while limited knew his role. hopefully Tim gets more gametime this season  he does look a decent prospect,

Yes but one player isn’t always enough. With Ramsey and McGinn the midfield is still very attack minded. Kamara could end up being as lonely as Luiz was a lot of the time last season, even if he’s better equipped to deal with it.

Its a fair point alright never seen Luiz as def midfielder though, nakamba even though very limited with the ball was a better fit for the team hopefully kamara is that player otherwise formation needs to change 4231 maybe

The problem then that we have is that we end up with McGinn and Ramsey both getting caught in attacking positions when teams counter us - with the full backs high up the pitch it leaves us really, really open to counter attacks.

That said, I think it might be what we start the season with.

 

Think that's what kamara will bring to the team  at this level been missing a decent defensive midfielder since promotion 

Has to go Ramsey mcginn kamara plenty of energy and quality in there . Big season for Ramsey going be a top top player Imo

Hi all long time member first time poster. Can't remember looking forward to a season as as this one ina long time going be a good one me thinks UTV
