Lucky b*****ds!!
-
We’ll finish above Sheffield United. I’m sure of it. Leeds are pissing me off.
-
I don’t think either of these teams are a concern for the season. It’s Norwich, Leeds and Boro we need to worry about imo. So far looking good.
-
Leeds will win. Could do with Norwich drawing though.

January transfer (we need a whole new team) window 2019
Vive_La_Villa replied to sne's topic in Villa Talk
Would have thought the majority on here would rather see a 38 year old than Neil Taylor. -
Looks like he did. Still goes down too easily but should have been a free kick.
-
It’s mind blowing!
-
I had written this season off but now it feels like it could be his last opportunity to work with players such as Grealish so praying he didn’t join too late. If only we had Smith from the start of this season.
-
I don’t think the club can afford to let him improve and get used to the league. Replacement in January is a must and I’d be amazed if Nyland is still our number 1 come February. Also are you really comparing the fact he has 27 caps in 5 years for Norway with 73 Premier league Appearances and 3 caps for England?
-
As things stand I’m confident we can beat anyone. I never used to have that feeling when Bruce was in charge even though we probably had a better team.
-
True and we should be better prepared than most in terms of squad strength. (Apart from centre half position of course, thanks Bruce).
-
Does anyone know how we were set up after Elmo game on. I couldn’t quite work it out. Did Kodija come inside and Jack drop back?
-
I reckon he has just successfully fought to keep his place.
-
Squad wise we have adequate strength apart from at the back. Need to get through this stretch of games without losing key players. At one point in December there are 4 games in 9 days. Ridiculous.
-
It’s also widely acknowledged we are a complete work in progress. The speed of improvement has really surprised me. I hope it’s not just a new manager bounce.
-
It’s refreshing to hear that Smith wasn’t happy with the performance. We can and will be a lot better than that.
-
Going off topic but for some reason Hull v Reading from 2015 was on Sky. That was one of hell of a Hull team yet it only made playoffs. Bruce has a great promotion record but we can’t overlook he normally had one of the best or expensively assembles squads in the league at his disposal. In contrast to this I always saw Smith as massively overachieving at Walsall and at Brentford considering they are both relatively small teams and also have a positive net spend each year. I wanted to see what he could achieve with even better players to work with. Early days but so far so good.
-
You mean like against the best team in the league so far?
-
I noticed this too. I hope it’s more to do with how poorly we were playing rather than how we were trying to play.
-
Well at least you’re not worried about the 17 games before then
-
He shouldn’t really be playing for us anymore if we’re being honest. Landsbury looked sharp when he came on. Real blow for him to get injured again. So I guess Whelan may still play a role for us due to so many injuries in his position.
-
Maybe I value your opinion more
-
Three of them posts are from the same person !
-
Hutton can play there more than adequately. I think priority is keeper, centre half cover and then left back.
-
Same people that have decided he is shit and written him off it seems. It was one of his poorer games since Smith took over but still a lot better than what we saw of him at the start of the season. I do accept we need to replace him eventually. I don’t think it’s a January priority though.
