I agree fitness is a big problem for him though Honestly, I'm not being funny with you, but I don't think you watched this guy close enough last season. I don't think he is the worst player to ever put on a villa shirt, but he certainly put in the worst performances of any villa player I've seen in 35 years.

lexicon Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 *throws hands up in air and looks annoyed from the half way line when I should have been defending that attack but I didn't because I'm an absolute tosser* 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Was on a stag weekend in Newcastle on that weekend so never seen highlights of that Southampton game until now.... Just shows you why we were one of the worst top flight teams in last 30 years with some of that defending. Next you'll be telling me SB wants to re-sign Lescott!!!

TRO Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 (edited) Well we can't win a game at present.....so nothing is a risk. but I ask myself, if he played the DM role until JED returns.....we might get that awaited reaction from CH and HL......just a thought.

slovenian Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 If Micah Richard is the answer, i don't want to know the question. I don't want him anywhere near our first team.. i'll lose all the remaining faith in Bruce if he selects him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 After the way he went about his play last season I wouldn't even trust Richards to be a ball boy. I know Bruce is desperate to turn things around but after the failed experiment with Gabby I really think he would be hanging himself out to dry if he gives Richards another chance, especially after loaning out McCormack for not turning up to training.

If Richards plays, we will not win. No change there then! Steve Bruce gave Gabby a chance to prove us wrong (when we still had some hope of a top 6 place) and that didn't work given that why not give Micah the same opportunity (when we now have no chance of making the play off's)? It most likely will not work either but I think Gabby was the player least likely of the two (for me at least) to wear a Villa shirt again at the start of this season.

Guest av1 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 May aswell have kept Lescott. And while we're at it, what Steve Hodge up to these days? We need all hands on deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Not even all of the article was published....Steve Bruce went on to say this about Richards..... Quote Micah is a stick-on if he’s fit – an absolute stick-on. He’s got the right mentality. "Unfortunately, fitness levels have been a big problem for him over the past few years.” http://www.squawka.com/news/steve-bruce-micah-richards-would-start-every-game-for-aston-villa-if-fit/905037 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Its more worrying that I would probably try him over the 2 centre halfs that played tonight **I feel dirty typing that** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 A Richards Elphick centre back pairing would be a crime against football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Placing him in this current team would just seal off relegation. Confirm it, dotted line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 His best role is as security/greeter at some night club. But even there he will likely get distracted and wander off leaving his colleges to fend for themselves. Only positive thing with this clown is that unlike Hutton at least he hasn't played enough to get an extension triggered on his contract. Only 2 more seasons to go... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 2 clean sheets and 2 wins in a row.. why would you even contemplate bringing him back in as a CB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I cannot think of any position, any formation, any game and any set of circumstances where Richards would have a positive impact on the field. Not one attribute I look at and think that there is something there. Against Luton he could barely break into a proper jog. He is shot to shit, just look at his gait when he runs and his balance on and off the ball. Utterly done as a footballer. If Bruce cannot see this then that is staggering. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrytini Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 (edited) Nooooooooo....!!!!!! I was just beginning to think the dark days were passing ...... it was Bruces description of Richards as "nailed on to start if fit" that sent me from a doubter to a disbeliever..... I do hope this is just talk. Richards has put in so many abject 'performances' for us he makes Gabby look like a model pro.
