  1. Think fate may conspire against us, lots of players returning late, TV games ( we don't do well), against a form team, stolen their coach. 2-0 loss.
  2. Agree, Think we should loan out more players green etc would improve more playing for Walsall every week than playing for the u23s
  3. Wasn't a criticism, it was a shared observation. I'm aware of what a learning curve is.
  4. Spoke to a kid I teach who is a Cheltenham fan. He said he looks ok but keeps making silly and costly mistakes.
  5. Not sure I do, but I don't see the difference between him and loads others. You could argue, at least at some stage in his villa career he made a positive contribution.
  6. Genuine thought, At the risk of defending Flabby, short of walking through Aston naked while we throw bricks at him, what is he supposed to do now to redeem himself. you are not allowed to say not be shit over the last 5 years, or he shouldn't have let himself go, that's like saying Westwood should have learnt to tackle, or Hutton learnt how to cross, Guzan learnt how to catch, Gestede to control a ball etc.
  7. True, has to push it out. In balance although I like Golini he should gave done more for the second, got his hands the wrong way round.
  8. The Victorians weren't afraid to look to the past, the town hall with its columns etc, but also look to the future in terms of size scale etc. we need to take the spirit of avfc as founding fathers, forward. Brick, glass I'm not bothered -it has to be a football stadium - not a multipurpose event stadium.
  9. I'd move. It'd be nice to be trendsetters again, by building a really amazing modern stadium. We could really set the standard. Where could it be? Star City, near Curzon Street? stratford - I could walk to games like I did when I grew up in Erdington.
  10. Or we had a forward rmc who hides in the box and doesn't make the runs he should.
  11. Awful player. After 2 midfielders we need a right back.
  12. Totally disagree, he has pace, went past players repeatedly, if anyone ever ran across the near post it'd make his crossing look great.
  13. Can I put it out there that if we keep on doing 20 stupid back passes a game there is a chance that golini will miskick one. it doesn't make him rubbish! just getting the defence in early.
  14. Thought set up was wrong but there were some standout performances. Baker, Adomah, Jedinak all excellent.
  15. Nice hotel in stratford, not a pub. Wouldn't take my kids to a pub full of noses!
  16. Think he's better as an impact sub at the moment.
  17. Still haven't seen much from him, bit of a flat track bully, will do well against Rotherham etc.
  18. Agree, problem is playing Westwood as the third, sits too deep so we end up playing a defensive 6. Watched the game in stratford with some normal blue noses - we all thought Jedi was motm.
  19. Saw him at Preston, thought he like everyone else was terrible. Thought him coming on changed the dynamic of the game yesterday. Is he great, dunno. Does he offer something no one else (except Hepburn murphy and Davis) can I.e. Pace -yes.
  20. Love the immediate instruction to get Westwood warmed up. Anybody would think he had actually thought about it!
  21. Changed the game - the only villa player with genuine pace. Well done to Bruce for changing it.
  22. Really good to see a manager with a brain, Adomah added the pace which meant that Fulham couldn't bore us to death. Thought Gardner and Jedi were a really good pairing. Baker and Chester looked better than Elphick with anyone. Thought the forwards had an off day. we win.
  23. Ian Ormondroyd - he lived by me in Sutton -saw him throw a ball up in the air and try to kick it for his dog - he missed it!
