    I was being a bit conservative. Hoping there will be more!

    Me too. I can feel it in my testicles. I think there will be 2 or 3 in the next couple of weeks at least. Fingers crossed.

    Yep. I do think 95% of fans would be happy with 17th to be honest, regardless of dreams of top 10 finishes. It is really important that everyone stays behind the team through the bad patches. We will inevitably take a few beatings, but I think we will also grab a few memorable surprise results along the way too. As long as the players are committed, we carry on doing business in the same vain as we have done so far, and we play positive football, Deano and the team will always have my backing.

    It was Jimenez up front pretty much 100% of the time though wasn't it, with Jota becoming a kind of second striker half way through the season. I must admit I watched Match of the Day exactly zero amounts of times last season and all of my Wolves knowledge comes from FPL and FPL podcasts. Im just highlighting that there are plenty of teams in the prem making do without any good 2nd choice strikers. Look at Spurs. When Kane picks up his annual ankle injury they don't trust Llorente so much that they go with Son and/or Moura (again, FPL podcasts mainly). This has proved pretty successful so again im making a shit, pointless point. As I touched on, i'll be disappointed if we don't sign another striker, so I don't reaaally know what im trying to say. I THINK my main point is that some have said we need a 2nd option to stop teams figuring us out. I don't really buy into that based on a fair amount of examples, but I do think we need someone we can reliably turn to if Wesley gets injured or needs time to settle.

    Alternatively, you could say that Wolves just had Jimenez and did fine. Im not disagreeing with you though, I definitely want to see another good striker come in, and I know we play a different system to Wolves so it is hard to compare. ...I forget what point I was trying to make...

    Maupay as a THIRD option?! That has zero chance of happening! I hope we sign 1 more striker but really can't see us signing 2. Im happy to use Davis occasionally (though he might be better going off on loan). How many teams have 3 top quality strikers these days?

    Tyrone Mings

    Smartin replied to Demitri_C's topic in Villa Talk

    You have to also remember he hadn't kicked a ball in anger for ages before he came to us and was expected to hit the ground running. You can expect a few errors in that situation, but for the most part he was an absolute beast. I doubt he would make as many mistakes next season.

    Currently that is fair, come August I doubt it will be.

    Exactly! Why is everyone saying they would take 14th or mid-table or top half as if its expected and anything less is a bad season. Survival is the only thing that matters this season as far as im concerned and id be thrilled with anything more than that. Lets not get carried away people.

    Little Bio-Hazards?

    I thought Luke Roper was doing the Fornal wear next season?
  12. Smartin
    Id be very surprised if this happens, but I do think that a lot of people are assuming we will set up with exactly the same system next season as this season. It is easy to forget this is largely not Dean Smith's team yet. Imagine Grealish, Fornals and AEG all interchanging...

    A lot of CB start off at RB or LB early in their careers. I would suggest CB is the more natural position for both players, but Hause can definitely be utilised as backup LB if needed.

    Tomori would be a very good signing IMO. Admittedly I can't say i've seen massive amounts of him but from what ive heard on podcasts and read, he completely fits the mould of what we are trying to build. If he is good mates with Tammy, that could also work in our favour.

    Its a big no for me on Sturridge. Awful injury record, would damage our wage structure and he has lost some pace.

    Anyone found a pub definitely showing the game yet?

    Hi guys, Great to be here. I have actually been lurking in the shadows for about a year now! Probably time I got involved. Born in Nottingham to a family of big Notts County fans (still close to my heart), I shamefully rebelled after falling for the claret and blue in a local JD sports around the age of 7. Loved the club ever since. Now I live in London. I try to get up to VP as often as possible but it has been difficult with work etc. Anyway, great to be here. Fingers crossed for a big performance on Monday and getting back to where we belong. UTV
