Jareth Posted September 16, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted September 16, 2017 A cut above of the championship - no doubt. But he did not score in a 0-3. Glad to have him, think he contributed, but far more glad for Albert and Keinan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 He is full of swagger, it seems his confidence lifts the whole team. Doesn't look like he came from a long term injury at all. Who else was surprised when he passed the ball to the right when he had that opportunity 1 on 1 with the defender? lol I was expecting a shot as always. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I'm going to be depressed when he's sold in the summer to balance the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chappy Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 We look a different animal with Kodjia on the pitch, much more purposeful and with a swagger. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 He is more than just goals.......his ball control and body swerves adds significantly to our hold up play.....a thouroughbred. I think he is a cultured player....good footballer in the true sense. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Still think back to the madness of January when some wanted him sold because he didn't pass to Scott **** Hogan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Didn't see the game, was he in a front 2 or on the left? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a front 2 with Davis. Kodjia did drop a little deeper into a 10 role on occasion tho. It worked though. Some very good link up play. There was even an instance where Kodjia passed when there was a shot on!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNortonAVFC Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Think he'll enjoy playing with Davis, the relationship was forming, could even have had a goal if he made his run half a second later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted September 17, 2017 Moderator Share Posted September 17, 2017 Right, this could just be me but... On two occasions in the first half Kodjia had an opportunity to put Snodgrass in with a chance of getting behind Barnsley. But on both occasions Kodjia played the ball to him rather than in front of him slowing the play just a fraction and the opening was gone. Being cynical it looked to me that all he was thinking about was a pass that would see him get on the end of a return through all rather than trying to play him in. Did anyone else see it or is it just me and a cynical mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, i do think that him being on the pitch improved the confidence of the players and also allowed others around him more freedom. Glad he's back though, as we are better for it.

But I do think you're being cynical by suggesting he was doing it for selfish reasons. I think it was just a poor ball. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 For the first time he has a decent striker to pass to - with some of the turkeys he has had as co strikers, I personally don't blame him for shooting rather than passing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even if he played Snodgrass through he would want to get back on this left foot anyway so I don't think it cost us anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Willard Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Unfortunately this guy will make Bruce keep his job. If that equals promotion I'm all for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
