Villarocker Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Mills clearly set out to niggle Davis on Saturday and was very lucky not to have seen red because that yellow card came way too late in the game. That shows you that teams are now aware of Davis and concerned by him. This is a test for the lad that he just has to accept and learn to deal with. The great thing about it is that we now have a few players in the forward line that concern the opposition - not just Kodjia. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 That's a good point and very much in our favour - they can't focus on everyone all the time and this can create a bit of panic in a defence. Not to mention that with him, Kodjia, Adomah and Hourihane, we have a lot more threats on the pitch and Davis offers us height, strength and an aerial danger.

Stevo985 Posted September 25, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted September 25, 2017 That Mills seemed like a right scumbag. Niggly fouls every time. One of those players who, when he got booked in like the 80th minute, I couldn't believe it had taken him that long to get a booking as he seemed to be fouling someone every time it came near him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapal_fan Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Can understand why he was being a dick though. You'd have to be to try and get the better of Davis, with his physicality. He still didn't quite do his job though did he? We won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrytini Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 It's no exaggeration to say it's almost as hard to get the ball off him as it was Gareth Barry. Holds it up as well as anyone, and no little skill either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This confidence will have great bearing on him......needs to keep clear of injuries to maintain momentum. The balance is looking great.

sidcow Posted September 26, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted September 26, 2017 Getting better all the time Imagine an Emile Heskey who can score goals. He's still young, inexperienced and not physically fully developed yet. The world right now is his lobster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 He's a great outlet that means the ball can stay in the opposition's half and away from our goal. He's not just played well, he's been consistent and looks full of desire to play. A world away from the terrible attitudes we've suffered at this club. I hate to say this, but think of how much more money Richards is on p/w than this guy. Awful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Apart from the obvious strength and ability to hold the ball up I've also noticed he tends to make the right pass whenever we are on the counter. Not sure what his chances created stat is but I bet it's quite high. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaJ100 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Is it bad that I'm already worried that some 'big club' arse holes might be sniffing around to 'help his career' by leave him on their benches and completely ruin his development?

DCJonah Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 There's plenty of athletic strong players around. The key with him though is that he makes the right decisions on a consistent basis. He keeps the ball, he plays his part in the build up and it's not like he's always just playing the easy safe ball, he looks to make things happen. I don't think he will score loads but with kodjia, Snodgrass, Adomah and hourihane all around him he won't need to. The fact his contract is out this summer must have his agent rubbing his hands together. In for one hell of a pay rise. Let's get it sorted soon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
