Maybe i should have said " of the right character", so can you tell me why other teams carve us open at will,.......I still say we have no backbone when things aren't going well.
Dean always said that players had to meet a specific criteria, I suppose "being nice" was at the forefront.... and now, as a collective we are too nice and a soft touch.
You were the guy who made a hole in the Witton end with his dick, when Villa won promotion ( can't remember whether it was the old 3rd to second division or 2nd to 1st)
To be honest I put the blame for this slump in form on both Lange and Smith. They didn't address the overriding issue in midfield in the summer. Think that will ultimately cost Smith his job.
And therin lies part of the problem, TRO. He will stick with his favourites, even though they are out of form, and it's this loyalty that will ultimately, in all probability cost him his job.
I think many of us are just frustrated with the way pre season has been managed by the club... admittedly teams pulling out due to Covid are not catered for, but eg, giving Traore a game the next day smacks of desperation to me.
Has Smith got a problem with players from France? Guilbert not getting a look in, and we have seen very little of Sanson. Are they the next Bjorn Engels?
