Would have been ridiculous asking him to do 3 games in 6 days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 What is his goal scoring record like in the u23's ? - I've not hear much so i'm guessing it isn't great, surprising he looked like he could be full of goals on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post lapal_fan Posted August 21, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted August 21, 2017 His impact on the game just screams "Biggleswade" to me. Not sure if any else got that impression. But I DO KNOW my football. Maybe someone could confirm if that's where he's from? He certainly looked classically "Biggleswade" trained to me. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Completely hypothetical scenario but if he starts next few games and we win them all comfortably. Does Kodija still go straight back in to the team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Nope, though I do think that is quite the hypothetical! When Kodja is fit again, I think regardless of how we're doing he'll have a few sub appearances first, and assuming we get past Wigan tomorrow - a cup match. Davis is also a young lad so isn't going to be on fire all the time, indeed for me that performance came out of nowhere compared to what he's shown before. So very big if's for now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Kodija still go straight back in to the team? If he continues to play as good as he did against Norwich then Kodjia definitely needs to bide his time and take a chance to knock Keinan (or someone else) off the team sheet. I saw someone on the previous page saying that Kodjia wasn't at his best when he played out wide. But I seem to remember it differently. I thought he scored quite a few from a wide position last season? If so, then Davis up top with Kodjia on the left wing could be a pretty good idea. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, he was utterly dreadful from my recollection! Couldn't spot a pass, always looking inside and easily pushed out the game. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I'm glad we "missed out" on Gallagher, Davis will do the job IMO, plus we have plenty of strikers to rotate and provide 'competition'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I strongly believe your best goal scorer should play down the middle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will save us money now, and in the future too, I have a good feeling that Davis and RHM could be the future of our strikeforce. We can use the money saved in other areas. Re: Kodjia, he will be coming back from a long injury so will have to be eased in, and people shouldn't be surprised if he is not at the level he was for some time to come. Play Hogan etc in the cups. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 i'm on holiday in Majorca, so only seen highlights.....but what i did see this lad impressed me. he had many chances and assists, but its his leading of the line that impressed me, bringing everyone in. could be a real asset.

mikeyp102 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Davis and Hogan the new Heskey and Owen.

Rob182 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I've been trolled all morning by some Villa page called the Villa Bible (with a Lad Bible-style logo ), because I suggested that Davis is rested tonight and is played on Friday. It's nice to come back on VillaTalk and see talk of common sense! ...Imagine that, with the emergence of Twitter, VillaTalk is now the place to come to see common sense. What a scary world we live in! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villan4Life Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 (edited) I know Bruce will never be a great like Alex Ferguson but maybe just maybe Keinan Davis is Villa's version of Mark Robins (Robins scored against Forest in 1990 in League Cup final that saved Fergie from getting the sack) and hopefully for now Bruce has turned it around and hopefully we go on a winning streak now.
