Hornso Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 He keeps getting chances, once he breaks his duck and he starts feeling more confident at this level I think he'll put quite a few in. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted August 8, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted August 8, 2017 There seems to be a lot of people, particularly at the ground, who have a real problem with Green. I can't for the life of me figure out why. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dr_Pangloss Posted August 8, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted August 8, 2017 The miss seemed to be down to a lack of anticipation, as if he was shocked the ball actually came to him. However whenever I've seen him play I've been impressed. He is still very raw, but absolutely has to be given significant game time in order to develop. He'll be far better than Grealish IMO, he has genuine pace and is a lot more direct. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't for the life of me figure out why. I haven't seen this at all. If anything he seems to be given much more leeway than most and rightly so given his young age. His end product is pretty awful at the moment but he gets away with it whereas Adomah seemed to get a lot of stick despite having the joint most assists in the league last year. It's probably just where you're sitting to be fair. Where I am there's people that will constantly criticise certain players even when they're having good games so maybe you've just got people who are like that with Green. It's far worse for other players from a larger number of people from what I've heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was determined to move my ST this season but never got round to it. One match in and I'm sick of it already. We had a new bloke in front of us on Saturday and he was as negative as they come. And one of these that tries to speak to everyone. He was driving me mad. When the guy next to me (who was receiving most of his conversation) went for a beer he tried talking to me. I actually told him "Watching Villa is depressing enough without having to listen to you moan!". I did it in a jokey way, but still. The more I go to Villa Park the more I hate a lot of our fans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 (edited) I was quite impressed with their full back Aina, who I understand is on loan from Chelsea.....had Gabby under control down the flank as soon as Greeny came up against him he looked worried, the athleticism unhinged him.....it was a completely different match between two players. The miss was disappointing but he needs a run in the team. Edited August 8, 2017 by TRO 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the problem is Steve.....some think 10 years of stagnation can be wiped away in a season......the behind the scenes was broken never mind the team. The other thing is they love the club so much too......just totally consumed in frustration. it can be very irritating for the fans surrounding them.....probably alcohol fuelled too.

lapal_fan Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I went on Saturday and genuinely thought the guy next to me was gonna cry. "Squeeze it!" whilst gesturing. It's the first game of the season dickhead, nothing's won or lost, so sit down and chill the **** out before I tut at you or something (I'm scared of getting stabbed). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I bought my season ticket this year I enquired whether I could move seats throughout the season without any additional charge. The guy confirmed I could, but would just have to pay the difference between the value of the seats as they stood at the start of the season ( if there was one.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I really do think we need another winger signed. I don't think green is consistent enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

limvillian Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 It just didn't happen for him tonight. I know conditions were poor but his first touch was off he needs to stop trying to over complicate things. Hopefully things will go better the next day for him .

BigJim Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 If he can't do it against Colchester you really have to wonder if he's worth a regular place. Agree with DCJ, we need more wide options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osmark86 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 As a pacy winger tonight wasn't the ideal conditions for him to fully utilize his strengths, but I still saw him getting some good runs in and beating their defenders. At times in tight spots marked by two men. Not his best day overall, but he's definitely a talent and I think he'll do well for us this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
