sidcow Posted January 2, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted January 2, 2019 (edited) Seemed to play well yesterday although I changed seats and sat very low down so harder to get a perspective of the game.i guess we conceded 2 goals so defence still not fixed, I don't think either were his fault though?

Him and steer did nothing wrong yesterday. One was a wonder strike and poor positioning from hutton. Other was sloppy play from the midfield 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again totally serious, so that means that any player at all who either signs for us or comes through the youth team, you'll think they're a good player who deserves to be at Villa no matter what? In response to your question, there are several players I don't think are good enough, although some are definitely worth keeping around for now either for squad depth or because we don't have other options. They include Hutton, Taylor, Nyland, Bunn, Moreira, Whelan, Elmo, Gardner, Hogan, and Bjarnason. And there are several players who also are generally alright/good but have flaws in their game that cause me concern. Anyway, Tommy seems like a great pro and certainly worth bringing him back. I wonder if we'll see him paired with Hause so Chester can get his injury sorted. In that case, could he even retain the captaincy? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said in here a couple of years ago that I did the stadium tour a while back when Tommy was still the captain and everything anyone we met said about him was positive. Sounded like he was really well thought of behind the scenes. So even though I don't think he's very good, I wouldn't be surprised if you're right about the captaincy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avfc1982am Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I think he will be moved on permanently with several others in the mass exodus come the summer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Hull City now above us having won 3 on the bounce without him. Hasn't been missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 His confidence must have taken a knock with that substitution, didn't think he had done too much wrong, and felt much more confident with him on the pitch than Hause. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avcol Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 He'd surely be furious with being taken off. Centre back isn't often a position you see changed and at 1-0 down it wasn't like he'd done much particularly wrong. Felt like he was almost being scapegoated. Hause was ten times worse.

Stevo985 Posted January 14, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted January 14, 2019 Seems to have started pretty well after his recall, to be fair to him. Hope he keeps it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkLillis Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I’m not sure this guy strengthens our defence in anyway other the being another “body” I can’t say I have seen him play well for us since his debut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was pretty good when filling in for John Terry last season. Was unlucky to lose his spot as soon as he came back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
