The invisible man.

Totally anonymous tonight.

Completely agree - first half he gave the ball away so sloppily near the touchline - this led to a period of prolonged possession from Forest which they could have scored from.

I feel like he goes hiding and really fills me with no confidence. Was very surprised to see him start. I wish all Villa players the best but can’t see what he really offers. He’s not even that quick.

hes very sloppy with the ball and not much strength. Ahwel we won! UP THE VILLA

It’s fair to say starting Sunday we have the most important 7 days of the season coming up. Big IF but should we win all three games (blues, forest, boro) my maths would have us 7th due to permutations in other games with teams playing each other coupled with teams dropping points.

That would leave us with the international break which would give us time to get Axel back in the mix, help Chesters rehabilitation, Lansbury might awaken from the dead and even get some more bodies back. Then it really would be all systems go to the end of the season.

BIG IFS but not impossible.

Im not even taking the piss. Prefer this league. Looking forward to us when Smith gets his own players in that can play his way.

Shows how far we’ve fallen - people have come to accept us in this league.

Totally Agree FWIW

Completley agree - he also shows zero composure when crossing and I actually think he makes odd runs to avoid the ball in space such is his lack of confidence.

His strength is non existent and needs to bulk up massively. As I’ve posted previously if we are pinning our hopes on him next season or he is a first 11 starter we are in for a long long season.

I don’t doubt he is a good kid with good attitude who try’s but as of yet I have seen nothing to suggest he can cope at this level. I think people get carried away by the fact he is a local lad.

either way UTV!

I want the kid to do well I really do but just can’t see anything that makes me feel he has much to offer? Am I wrong? his crossing is woeful and I feel he goes missing to avoid the ball. When he has it I feel he dosent have the confidence to drive with it and makes an easy pass.

He needs to get stronger in my opinion but I never feel he is going to change the game for us. Yes he scored v Sheff U but even that game he hit 3 of the worst crosses possible.

Unfortunately we will be relying upon him next season so we really need him to step up.

I feel sorry for Smith, he's got a squad with no wingers, no full backs and only two central midfielders one of whom is injured. Its a huge job to reverse the damage Bruce has done. 

?? Wingers - That’s the one position we have had more than enough cover - bolasie prior to him leaving, El Ghazi, AA, Kodjia, Green & Elmo 

We don’t desperately need a new LB but more wingers

I wouldn’t bother mate you are going to get tonked your best bet is to go to the big office block on the corner of great west road and Boston Manor Road their  car park is free and it’s just across the road from the Kings Arms pub (like all our pubs H& Away) 10 minute walk to the ground.

Superb mate thank you - haha hope your wrong but I can see our midfield being overrun.

Can anyone recommend parking for Brentford at all? I will be driving from Oxford straight to the game after work. Many thanks

YES ANDRE!

Absolutely rubbish aside from the last 30 seconds of that appearance.

Hope he can use the confidence as a platform because he will be starting the next match.

Completely agree - if anyone watched the game back he was absolutley woeful. He took the goal well but ultimately he isnt the answer to our problems and I really worry that if he is starting for us next season we really are in a mess as he isn’t going to take us back to the PL. Yes he appears to love the club but I think sometimes people get miguided views on players because they are so desperately hoping that one of our own comes good.

That being said I do hope it gives him confidence and he does put a run of decent performances together but my instinct is that he is not very composed under pressure and too lightweight and ultimately will be another youngster who falters under the incredible pressure we put on our players.

prove me wrong Andre!

Hutton literally taking a full minute to take a throw and chucks it straight at the feet of a Reading player.

Just **** off you old word removed.

Big fan I can tell

It was there insta story thing. Not an actual post..apologies

Has anyone seen the posts on Instagram from Jack and Alan regarding Snodgrass? Not sure if this is also a goodbye post.

When is this piece of scum gonna leave! complete word removed of the highest order

when is this rocket polisher gunna be shown the door

Pretty sure we are all panicking about this for nothing, but phony con men have bought sports clubs in the past. http://www.espn.co.uk/nhl/story/_/id/13112769/john-spano-hustler-once-tried-buy-new-york-islanders-gets-10-years saw this a few years back on ESPN 30 for 30. 

quicker he leaves the better

hes a rocket polisher eric black

Townsend scores one goal and people thinking he was the answer to our prayers. Ridiculous. 

wonder what the fat f*** has done this week to justify his weekly wage? piece of sh*t!

Nothing to do with sentiment....he is simply better than what we currently have!

Amazing as it seems I doubt he actually is.

Stan returning as a player won't happen nor should it. This would be a terrible move for all parties involved and would actually make problems worse. This off season we need a complete overhaul and there is no room unfortunately for sentimental gestures. We need a clean break and start again. I think Stan is thinking with his heart rather than his head.

F***! this guy...I would love someone to do him over on the pitch and end those champions league ambitions he dreams of.

Maybe the Villa fans could sing what the SHA fans sing about him (his mom is a whore etc.) so he knows how much he is despised.

Gabby agbonlahor he's fat and never scores, gabby agbonlahor he's moms a W____?

I really hope he is made to play in the final home game, he should be made to play so we can all vent our hatred towards him. I would have him lead the lap of appreciation on full time so every single fan can flip the bird at him and say what they really think of him and a few others. Then sack this word removed the minute the final whistle is blown. Suspending him from the first team is almost what he wants. I want this guy to publicly suffer!
