Mark Noble

Which isn't necessarily a bad thing as it creates a nightmare for the central defenders on whether to follow him. If England can have people running beyond from the midfield such as Sterling then we could look dangerous.

If you neglected The Office at the time, defo worth going back to watch it. You can get it on Netflix or probably find a free version online. Absolute genius stuff

Yeah it seems impossible to get Villa winning games for me too. 10/10 for realism Sports Interactive! I remember the days of FM10 (or it might have been an earlier one) when Delph would bang in 10-20 goals per season from 'the edge of the box' corner tactic. This was in season 2019/20 or something though after he'd fulfilled his wonderkid tag.

I reckon a 2-1 win after we go down to an early goal

I always saw him as just a really arrogant guy (well, that's kinda true). It's not always a bad thing though for someone at the helm. Given time I believe he will give Villa an identity again like we had under O'Neill. Just stay up this season and we can really kick on. Hope it's for the long term even if things haven't started out in an ideal fashion. At least he has charisma, something which we were severely lacking....

Hi there, the names Martyn. I've been a long term 'lurker' but I feel I finally have enough time to contribute. I consider myself a positive supporter of the club (clapper) but will happily voice and discuss concerns, not vitriol, if needed. Born and bred in Birmingham but now live up t'north in Yorkshire. Not a season ticket holder and only manage to get to half a dozen or so games a season due to work commitments. Looking forward to posting and the Sherwood era
