  1. I think its more to do with where the goals are coming from... can probably count on one hand those scored by strikers
  2. His attitude has been great all season, its very easy for a foreign player to come to the A League and cruise their way to a pay cheque. imo would be a useful player to the limited options we have up front at the moment
  3. Jedinak for Whelan and Elmo for Taylor with Hutton going to the left Wish we had someone to give Davis a rest
  4. for the quality we have on bench, Im still surprised there was no change to the line up. Was the perfect opportunity to give a few a rest (bar the CB's and Davis) Elmo, Lansbury, Grealish, Jedinak, De Laet and Bjorn... that's a very strong bench for the Championship (all bar 1 and ill let you decide which one that is that)
  5. Is elmo injured or are people wanting to see Hutton start ahead of him at right back? Also where is Elphick? didn't even make the subs on the weekend
  6. maybe the Coleman's appointment will do the reverse and inspire us to be on our toes... as most would have ticked this game off with a win and potentially lead to complacency
  7. not that bizarre given your profile pic ;-)
  8. nope... haven't played it much but cant seem to sort the player search list by star ratings
  9. was one of the best afield the Aussies in the first leg and lasted the 90 minutes on a very heavy surface (intentional ploy by the Hondurans). Having him fit approaching the Christmas period will be massive!
  10. Lots of time before now and January window for everyone's opinions of the team to change including the decision makers What wont change by then tho is the fact that Hogan whether it be our system or lack of talent, he is of no use to us and hopefully we can get rid and bring in a replacement. Would be happy with either Crouch, Walters, Long or Austin amongst others
  11. yep and more analytics and feedback from staff to ignore
  12. I watched the game and like others have said looked a little rusty. Played the sole striker role which I don't believe suits him, but will benefit with Tim Cahill returning to the side this weekend. Has a nice touch and what not, but didn't really see anything that made me think he can add value to the Villa team but in saying that will cut him some slack as it was his first game in a long time
  13. I think the reverse of this... it actually gives him some certainty for once in his career after being sent out on loan 10 times (or whatever the number is) regardless of which division we'll be in next year
  14. As a Melbourne city fan, its a win win for me! off the Villa wage bill and will be able to watch him live!
  15. not biased nor sensitive... but living in a country where football is called soccer and probably ranked 3rd amongst other footballing codes, we get enough stick from our own people down here let alone other true football fans from across the globe
  16. clutching at straws here but got zero after the Adomah's took the penalty against Barnsley... Is Kodjia our designated penalty taker or did he shun Adomah for the second time in as many minutes?
  17. The keeper also pulled off a brilliant save at the near post from Snodgrass' shot in the second half
  18. haven't seen much of Thor to be honest, but after seeing the second goal he should be nowhere near our back half!
  19. wasn't Kodj our dedicated penalty taker? was surprised to see Adomah step up
  20. a win over boro here could give us a significant boost mentally for the next few league games... would like to see Steer Bree Elphick Samba De Laet Jedi Lansbury O'Hare Elmo Adomah (or Bjarn) Hogan
  21. this is where I was at but decided to get fm17 a few weeks ago and gave my assistants the fun of doing pep talks, opposition analysis, press conferences and other 'lovely' add ons in recent versions so I can just manage the tactics and scout / buy / sell
  22. lots of similarities watching the socceroos last night and villa every other night.... in terms of pain of course!
  23. I almost think its too late to bring someone in with the expectation of instant promotion... it would be fantastic if it did happen but realistically it could take a while for the next manage to embed their views and structures into the team On that note, the Bruce appointment does reflect a bit of a panic decision, so my view for the time being is to let this stale ride with hope of improvement until we're certain the guy that we want, be it Jokanovic, Smith, Clement or whoever is available and then make the move. Lets not repeat the mistake we did by appointing Bruce at a similar time last season
