Heaton injured???

I think villa should just keep winning.....win every game they play from now and forever!! #footballcompleted

Forget promotion for this season guys, it's just not going to happen, were just not good enough right through the club. Hopefully a busy but less edgy summer will give us a decent chance next season.

Promotion will feel like a big achievement after being in this league for so long rather than just getting back to "where we belong"

does he not make other players play better? Couldn't you take overall player ratings when Grealish isn't playing and see that the average player rating has gone down?

Or that the number of actual votes for man of the match is down by a huge percentage because when Grealish isn't playing we don't win and when we don't win there are fewer players worth voting for, or the player voted for is stupidly unanimous because the rest of the team is so sh*te.

I don't have these stats, but it's surprising what you can dig up to make a point.

I agree though he doesn't score as much as he should or get the assists he should, but he draws defenders to him, pulls teams out of shape, we get a huge number of free kicks because of him being fouled - some of those we score from. He must up our possession stats, so reduces the time the opposition can attack us, he gets into space and plays in a lot of other players allowing the likes of McGinn and others to play more useful football?



 

I agree that he does do everything that you say he does and I think Jack is an awesome player but I believe that we rely far to heavily on him. I think that once he goes in the summer it'll benefit both parties and Jack can go on and develop his career. Thanks for everything JG

Big 45mins ahead. Big push needed from both players and fans... Get behind the boys, let your voice be heard

I've suspected that there are some bad apples in the squad and  I have been told there are some.nkt surprisingly really.

I have to say despite the farce of bruce he did know how to build team morale. I remember when we beat Sheffield United 1-0 At brammal lane last year. That celebration showed a United front.havent Seen that that much this year.

I think Snodgrass a s Terry really were the glue last year. Big loss both of them.

 

 

I loved and really miss the togetherness that we had last season. Some of our wins and performances were solely down to that team spirit and togetherness. Even when things weren't going our way we still had hope and optimism because of it. 

My first choice to replace Bruce would have been Rodgers although I was never sure that he would leave a champions league team for a toxic mess of a championship side and I wasn't surprised that Smith got the job. I see his appointment in two ways, firstly totally unconvinced that he's the man to take us up such a massive jump in club size and fan expectation but on the flip side maybe the right and clever appointment in getting us a championship manager for a championship club which some need to get used too

We should of gone all out to get brendan rogers. Blow celtic out of the water with compo. Yes we need to build for the future. But we need to be in the prem before we end up like Accrington Stanley. Their nativity means we are stranded in the hellish purgatory that is the sky bet championship.

Leave Celtic for Villa..... You're having a laugh!!!

Hey, so I'm villa through n through, been a fan since I can remember. My earliest memories are in the early 90s. My favourite players have been..tough to pick but Dean Saunders, Deon Dublin, Gareth Barry, Olaf Melburg, Jack Grealish to name just a few! 

I've been reading this forum for quite a while and sometimes have opinions and questions that id I'd like to voice. 

thanks Gra.
