Gabby’s ‘perfect’ hattrick against City
-
Probably not but I suspect we may have kept it open whilst he was rehabbing to keep him engaged and motivated, all guesses at this stage of course.
-
Probably putting 2 and 2 together and coming up with 5 but I have a feeling we’ve told him he has no future here, social media is rarely a great source of truth for stuff like this (remember the anxiety when Mings posted the somewhat cryptic black and white photo a couple of months or so back) but around month ago he posted something (cryptic) about being let down, or to that effect. It seemed to coincide with him having just returned to training, my suspicion is that we’ve strung him along a bit to get him through the injury / rehab etc and then told him he’s not going to get a look in. Or I’m chatting absolute bollocks, either could easily be true.

Obviously I’d be gutted to leave VP but you can’t stand in the way of progress and if it kicks us on a level then we have to accept it

The Ex-Villa Player thread - Keeping tabs on old Villans

Clearly too good for that level, hopefully gives him the platform to get back to a better level -
Whispers quietly - it always was.
-
Be interesting to see if they go full strength against City in the cup tomorrow night too, can see Edwards wanting to rest some of the side ready for the weekend but unsure if he can given the opposition.
-
But worried about starting Chambers and Lenglet against their physical attack but fingers crossed we can score more than them as I can’t see it being a 0-0 draw.
-
Has turned out to be a very useful and valuable loan in, it’s taken an unfortunate set of circumstances to see him here at all let alone in the first team regularly but we’d be in real trouble without him right now.

Chop chop! Lets all gawp at Newcastle (again)
bannedfromHandV replied to Jimzk5's topic in Other Football
Feel like that Tonali ban has massively disrupted them, it was their marquee signing and with all their other injury issues has only been compounded. -
Yeah he forced an own goal I think in a 2-1 defeat shortly after coming on as sub. Definitely was not a sign of things to come, well, other than the result at that time.
-
Where the hell did they get 5 minutes of injury time from? To my knowledge there were no lengthy stoppages for treatment, no lengthy VaR checks, no substitutions, okay 3 goals and a bit for minor delays, but not five minutes surely?! Cost us too.

The banker loving, baby-eating Tory party thread (regenerated)
bannedfromHandV replied to blandy's topic in Off Topic
Is it an insane idea? There needs to be regulation and I’ve previously considered whether ‘child only’ mobile phones could be created with highly restrictive security settings (ie blocking social media and any potential adult content), guess you’d also need to create a child version of the internet too so appreciate its not simple but something needs to be done. -
Episode 4 should be a cracker (I hope)
-
Cheese is shit.

Halo season 2 has started on Paramount+. Must admit i fell asleep at pretty much the same point trying to get through episode 1, it’s good, but it’s not great, and it should be great given the source material.
-
Frustrating game to be losing, we’re finding plenty of space around their box but not doing enough with it.
-
Exactly, another dumb decision from people who seem to have no understanding of football. How will they even govern it effectively, will it be based on 10 minutes of actual in play time, if not how will it be remotely fair? I’m not saying it’s all geared up to a conspiracy but they keep giving themselves tools to influence games ‘artificially’ and I just don’t see how it’s remotely a good thing.

Ratings & Reactions: FAC4R: Villa v Chelsea
bannedfromHandV replied to limpid's topic in FAC4R: Chelsea h
Eerily similar to the Newcastle game and worryingly so, hoping this isn’t becoming endemic. Tactically, I don’t really get what we’re aiming to do off the ball in terms of winning it back, it’s a half press at best and easy to play through and around. Individually it was appalling really, just a litany of bad decisions and errors all over the park, impossible to pick a man of the match cos they were all poor but Tielemans got progressively worse and it’s a mystery he stayed on as long as he did, Kamara had a shocking first half, Moreno was poor, as was Carlos, Cash and McGinn. Its obviously hurting us missing all three of our ‘first choice’ centre backs, I’m not feeling too enthusiastic about Sunday tho now. Special mention for being truly baffled with just 4 minutes of injury time, the ball was hardly in play for the last 15 minutes of the 90. -
As depressing as it is, it’s not even that bad a performance, it’s just a catalogue of shocking decisions all over the pitch, encapsulated by Kamara’s awful performance losing the ball umpteen times one of which resulted in the first goal. So many simple passes undercooked or over hit, not shooting when we should and not doing the basics well enough in defence. Sort it out Villa!
-
Would have been a dream debut and capped off an excellent days work all round if he’d buried that chance on Saturday. Looked okay when he came on, has to be said it was against a dispirited and poor team but still, some good early indications that he might go on to become an asset.
-
Bailey deserves a new contract and has become a major asset for us this season, so it should be a no brainer from our side you’d think. Just got to hope he’s not demanding too much and/or considering not signing an extension here.
-
He walked off didn’t he, guessing no major damage if so
-
That’s better, hopefully that’s the end of the dodgy run, tough week coming up though
-
Big opportunity to close the loop on the iffy / pour run, it started with Sheff United and can end with them, here’s hoping!
