Villarocker Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 5 hours ago, DaveAV1 said: He was captain before and both him and the team were diabolical. Besides being everyone's pal doesn't make a good leader. Even if he was a good leader, and I don't think he is, he is such an incredibly bad footballer he shouldn't be anywhere near the team. What worries me the most is that Bruce has said he would play every game if fit!!! If that's the case and he is nearing fitness then why did he just buy Bree? Or is he thinking of replacing Chester or Baker? Surely he's not that far gone? Is he?? Why has Richards not been fit at any point since Bruce arrived? This definitely smells like Bruce is desperate. But, desperate for what? The defence is fine when there's cover in front of them. Bree is fine and, if out injured, we have better options at right back in Hutton and Bacuna - both of whom aren't great but are better than Richards. Where else would/could he play Richards? It's insane to consider ever playing him because he's a complete waste of space. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I'm probably alone in thinking it could be a positive step. A player that was once deemed good enough to play at RB for England can't be not good enough for the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Not sure judging a player by his England caps (which was a while back) is sensible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither are good enough for the Championship in 2017, as per Micah cah cah. Edited February 18, 2017 by HolteExile 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually thought him on a free was for once very good smart transfer business for us. I was very very wrong. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about clutching at straws. I honestly feel Bruce hasn't a clue on how to fix the situation he's created and is beginning to pin his hopes on something working (a bit like Timmy did) with a bit of luck I am starting to agree, which is sad. I think it doesn't matter who the gaffer is at the moment. We are just a club spirally out of control football wise. Ive gone from eternal optimist to doomsday dreader..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 It would be nice to watch a training session at BMH, and just compare the players at training and how they perform during game time. I wonder if some players hold the attitude that training is where it matters, just to fool the manager enough to get on the team sheet, then it is tools down job done? We have heard so often of players impressing during training, then turning to shit after kick off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have heard so often of players impressing during training, then turning to shit after kick off. I don't think they deliberately down tools or why would they try in training in order to get into the team? But I do think that some players need a different mindset when actually playing a competitive match. Achieving this mindset is the trick and what successful managers are good at. There's only a very small percentage between success and failure on the pitch. Which is why anyone can beat anyone on their day. A lot of it is in the head and our heads are shot.

I wouldn't entertain the idea of him playing cb but I would rather have him at rb than the headless chicken and he could do a job as a defensive midfied player. I agree fitness is a big problem for him though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Just play Bacuna there, at this level he's o.k as an RB imo. Or can't we just get Bree fit. He's played one game and already he's injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
