Herman22 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Both DS and JT were at the game, so they will no doubt have been there to see COH and others. I don't think the defenders will have done themselves any good letting in five. I wouldn't be loaning him out right now, a few injuries/ suspensions and we could do with him in the first team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest av1 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 If Smith wants to play a passing game then he needs players that can pass a ball. I give 3 weeks before we see this kid in the match day squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I'm starting to think this lad will overtake Grealish in the long run, based on current evidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacks development seems to have leveled off (Although that could change in coming games) Also, Ohare seems more direct and imposing. Obviously, on the other hand, I could be talking nonsense.

wilko154 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Would expect to see O'Hare on the bench on Friday, he offers something that we don't currently have available to bring on. Last night I would rather have seen O'Hare brought on over El Ghazi, and the same for Bolasie on Saturday after witnessing his performance. With Jack currently out of form (I don't think it will last), he gives us an option to replace him should we need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 To me he looks more like Barry Bannan than Grealish - I don't see it as a like for swap . But I think he will get a few games before long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems like he is much more technical and offensive minded than Bannan will ever be. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted November 30, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted November 30, 2018 not in the line up for the u23s tonight so hopefully he’s in the bench with the senior team again tomorrow and perhaps he can feature! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 (edited) His attributes are ....his vision and his quick feet....." will o' the wisp" , movement. If he can overcome the physical disadvantage and use that to his advantage.....He could have centre halves platting their legs. I think he needs some 20 minute cameo's like Bolassie has had and let him learn the physical side of the game. For me, He could be another Bradley Dack. Under Bruce the game was so slow in the build up....this quicker pace and quicker movement of the ball,may allow him to move away from trouble more easily. looking forward to see if the lad makes it....I think he will. There has been many diminutive players carve out a super career for themselves. Edited November 30, 2018 by TRO 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I watched an u23 game on YouTube a few weeks back. He presses the opposition well and doesn’t give them a moments peace. Could see that suiting Smiths style. But I can only see him playing if McGinn or at a push Jack are out. He’s not going to play ahead of either of those and not going to play the deep midfield role. We have other options on the wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted December 1, 2018 Visiting Supporter Share Posted December 1, 2018 Grealish can’t be expected to play every minute of every game so O’Hare is a great option to have to give Grealish a rest. I keep mentioning this under Bruce but it never happened. Thankfully Villa have a manager and coaching team now who are starting to read my posts on here. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam2003 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I have been thinking about this and I'd love to see him get a shot v Stoke if Jack's out - and for the first time in years it's not "God I hope one of these kids can save us" it's "OK I think the rest of the attacking machine is looking good, let's give this kid an hour and bring on Kodjia or whoever if it's not working out." Flipside I suppose is players like JK, even Hogan, Whelan etc (depending on how he shuffled) are all doing their bits with cameos and probably desperate to start a game, so not that easy a decision for Smith, but it's nice to think it could go one of a few ways and we would still hopefully look good going forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't even featured as a sub yet I remember Jonathan Hog came out of nowhere against Man Utd at home 2010, 2-2. He didn’t feature a lot after that but had a good game then. It wasn’t a manager decision more than an injury crises that time. Anyway I’d prefer him to come for half an hour though. But I don’t mind him starting if he’s fit enough.

Its easy enough for us to say give him a chance/throw him in. But whenever i've seen him play hes a 10/RW and atm we need someone to cover Grealish's position (LCM).

Keep the opposition guessing. Welcome to VT, btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
