Instantly becomes the best player at the club for me. Stands up and takes responsibility and delivers. Will go on to be one of the club's best signings in years.

A player, who unlike Westwood, it genuinely would be interesting to see him with decent players.

Really has no excuses for me now. Bought well and now it's time for the dreadful football and poor results to end. Simple as. This is one shower of shit league and bar abother striker, we have easily the 2nd best squad.

If grealish is used as any sort of deal regarding Rhodes then il be royally **** off. Not necessarily because I rate grealish highly - I actually think he has a lot to prove - I just don't get bruce's obsession with Rhodes. For me it should be simply, right here's 6m for Rhodes. What you want more? Tell you what...... **** off.

What position does he play? Because after 5 years, I'm still none the wiser. To ppl saying it would be interesting to see him in a better midfield. No it wouldn't. Not at all. Itd be a sign that we as a club are still willing to put up with sub standard players. We have 4/5 players now who are better than Westwood. It really is time for him to leave so we can all move the **** on.

Last time I looked we had a team of players (some on high wages) that didn't look anything like a set of players that can get us out of this current level. Chester, jedinak, probably mccormack and the fact were willing to quadruple the wages of players who are currently on a higher level than us shows that your statement that it will not happen again is well wide of the mark. The vast majority of the players wages are frankly embarrassing considering our position and it seems to be continuing. I can't think of one plater we have who is worth the salary he is on given that there are players all over the championship performing much better on much much less.

People are second to none. However, I can assure you the tarn is a shit hole

My Barnsley mate doesn't rate bree like he does hourihane. Really doesn't understand the hype around bree and tbh the first few clips of his YouTube video is just him giving the ball away. Don't get why ppl put them videos together let alone include clips that amount to know end product.

I've said it many times on here. Being realistic is not negative. If you can find the positives in us, as Aston villa, having spent miliions upon millions to crack this abysmal league, laying 13th, miles off the pace and struggling to beat teams like Preston then good luck to you. Imo, you're completely deluded.

GABBY!!! Blatantly obvious and ties in with what I was informed of under GH.

Deary me. Not looking great is he?

It infuriates me that I can. A total irritation in my life tbh.

I'm very pleased we've decided not to spend 12m on Jordan Rhodes.

Beards are wank. Otherwise, delighted with this signing.

Scored a few in a lot less playing time than mccormack and gabby. And he at least gives us a different option which was my overall point..... wasn't saying he was a prolific goalscorer but he would have give us a target yesterday.

I'd rather they just be honest. Then I can have a fair judgement of whether it's worth spending money going to watch it. I don't mean that in a spoilt way I just think we deserve to know whether we're planning on competing.

Oh and just on a bit of an off point...... I reiterate that being at a game doesn't necessarily make anyone's opinion more valid than say if they watched it on TV. I swear it took half the villa fans twenty mins or so to realise Nathan baker weren't even playing....... All together now..... Nathan bakers magic

The fact that January is so difficult to bring players in (as ppl keep pointing out) only makes me question Bruce more for selling gestede without clearly having a replacement in line. If he thinks gabby and Ross would score the goals through January then I'm really concerned. It's almost like we've thrown the chance away to be in the mix because we've hoped we can just rock up to these games and wing it. Massive misjudgement imo and poor squad management.

100% correct.

I'm not holding him to THAT standard all the time. Just a better standard than what we witnessed last night, but Cardiff, v Wigan, v Leeds, v Norwich etc. These players are simply not good enough we know that and so does Bruce so I'm not calling for his head or demanding that he gets us in the playoffs (like some are suggesting). I am however asking why we're not achieving a SOT for example away at wolves.... something that even these platers are more than capable of.

Exactly where I am. Good post.

Just got back to Doncaster from coming down to see the game. I've never been to a local derby before but that was as flat as a game as I have ever been to. Beats the Bolton 0-2 in the cup for me. Utter dross. Johnstone - looked a decent addition last week. Made a glaring error for the goal. 4 Hutton. At least he tried. He is rubbish though. Really rubbish. 4 Chester. Not his usual decent performance but still made some decent tackles. 5 Elphick. Made some important tackles early on but he's not good enough. 4 Amavi. One moment of brilliance. The rest I want to forget. 2 Jedinak. Game completely passed him by and gave away the ball cheaply. 2 Tshibola. A lot of huff n puff but very little guile. 3 Adomah. His worst performance to date. 3 McCormack. Quite like Ross, but he was awful. 2 Bacuna. Again. Another who at least looks half arsed but has no quality. 4 Agbonlahor. I can't remember one contribution. 1 Grealish. Did not effect the game one bit. 3 Green. MOTM. Came on and looked like he wanted to actually achieve something. Went forward at every available opportunity. 6 Davies. Not on long enough Bruce. At no point did that team look like they had any clue what they were supposed to be doing. No reaction after HT. 1

I don't think every player is dogshit either but just more BS from your keyboard.

Hahahahaha..... where did I say he needed to have us in the playoffs? Or just at least competing in games and having a go more like. Don't let that get in the way of making stuff up. As for amavi... I think he's dogshit. You don't. That's fine but I know what I saw last night and in many other games recently. A man that can't defend, or even pass the most simplist of passes.
