  1. Agree that's why if the right players aren't available we wait. We have to build a team, that's what every other side we face have that we don't.
  2. The teams so lacking in balance it's almost impossible to judge the forwards. I don't know if mc. Is the answer, but id love to know what the question is if gabby is the answer.
  3. Just voted Hutton motm. That is a measure of how bad we are. Too many square pegs in round holes. Not Bruce's fault.......yet
  4. The manager of villa when I was in my late teens. Saved us after relegation. The first villa team that I knew more about than my brothers. Really sad. GT RIP
  5. Definitely the right option, not just the available option. That's why we're in this situation. If we see a right back better than Hutton, but can't see a better forward, we should sign the right back. otherwise we will be in championship for ever.
  6. 3goals in over 100 appearances. He would improve the midfield. I could pick 30 other players who haven't showed such disrespect to the club that would improve the midfield more.
  7. Overrated. Overrated at villa -look at his stats overrated by man city - he doesn't now get a game overrated by england -was rubbish and dropped would he improve the midfield -yes should we be signing players who have such little respect for us - no Not meaning to be contentious but I hate him more than most of last seasons tossers, because of his duplicity.
  8. Dropped from squad - won't sign contract.
  9. Can't judge him until he's had at least one transfer window. He has inherited a championship fantasy / nightmare league squad. Jedi is ill, he can play 2 ineffective midfielders with experience or a youngster and a winger! You can't blame him for picking the former. If he does it again it's an issue. As someone else said Luton sounded the end for Richards etc. this will do the same for Westwood. We can't blame Bruce..... Yet!!!!
  10. Some stats lie - these don't. We sign 2 midfielders we will get close to the playoffs. As I've said before you can't judge the defence or forwards with a midfield as clueless as ours.
  11. As well as the snake, he should look at Crowley ( I think) who left us as a youth player to go to Arsenal, repeatedly out on loan in the lower leagues. Never a chance of making the first team. Having said that, if we are never going to start him, or at least use him as sub, perhaps he should go. I'd love to have Green, RHM on the bench each week, and if we ever are 2 goals up, give them a run out. Or start them (like Gabby) for 60 min against teams you'd hope to beat.
  12. I thought he laid out his 10 year plan and the first 2 years were to secure promotion. I think he'll want to go up this year, but he knows the mess we were in. If we can ship out 2 or 3 I think we might see some real quality come in.
  13. Derby in for Lansbury 2.5m. Definitely worth a bid.
  14. 2 separate points. He was decent tonight -apart from the goal (again). The number of times he doesn't pick up his man is really poor. on a separate point, in open play our defence is actually quite good considering the lack of any midfield. If I had the choice of signing one player, it would be a central mid before a right back.
  15. 2 nd game in a row hut tons cost us, by being unable to defend crosses. we need a midfield.
  16. That's the problem. We can make changes up front, and central defence. We can't make changes to our full backs or midfield. Dr t and brucie need to get the players in from jan1st. On a positive, we are climbing the table with the worst midfield in the division -imagine the difference a right back and 2 midfielders would make!
  17. No midfield. No midfield. No midfield. No midfield etc have to play a more balanced line up on Thursday. We went ahead today by playing 4 -1-5. Jedi was awful. GG was non existent. happy with the points though!
  18. I hope so, last year the top 6 all scored 63+ goals. At the moment we're on target for mid to high 40s. I don't think GG is brilliant, but assuming Jedi is playing, he is the midfielder with the most attacking threat.
  19. I think GG could match that tally in the championship. Our problem is that no one other than forwards (well Kodjia) scores. This is going to cost us a playoff place.
  20. When was our last goal scoring midfielder? Platt? Ive just checked Dephs stats ( on wiki admittedly) he must have scored more than 3 league goals? I'm not going to defend Westwood because he's awfull and has had his chances, but Gardner needs a run in the team so we can make a decision on him. He has played less than 10 games this season (total minutes). Grealish is a case in point, too much expected too soon, but is benefitting from much more game time.
  21. Jesus that's a shocker of a team. The type of team to get you relegated in fact!
  22. I know it's sad but I remember the west ham game when he was sent off. We were on top, he lashes out, and another step towards relegation. In terms of ability, there is a footballer there but no end product. Sell.
