I think it is meant in an “I agree” way, rather than liking the fact Kodjia might not be the same after injury. That is how I see it. Edit. To add, I do think we as fans need to be patient with Kodjia, he probably won’t be back to his best this season. Probably will need a full pre season to get up to speed.

He also survived having his heart and lungs removed for a few days and then re-attached using fabric from one of Charles Nzogbia's suits. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said something similar of O'Hare then he didnt feature in the match day squad. He'll probably get a 5 minute run out v Reading on Tuesday. No need to risk him, just give him few minutes here and there and get him ready for the play offs. I think you are wrong. What's the point of having him on the bench if you have no plans to play him? Might as well have davis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVTuco Posted March 31, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted March 31, 2018 If he's really fit, he should get a few minutes minimum. Work it up from there, but work needs to start soonest. He won't just miraculously jump into form for play-offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Good to see him in the squad again. It will take him time to get fully match fit but when he does what a vital player he could be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Staggering he is already being chucked in to be our saviour againm with so little training and football behind him. Bruce is an absolute disgrace. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Now top 2 is over i would ease him back very slowly and carefully 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 yeah i was surprised he came on before Hogan. 30 minutes was probably a bit too much. He looked very unfit. We resulted to a long ball game.. didnt suit his style of play. I hope we stick with 1 striker and not have 3 on at once. Even Bruce said after the match it didnt work yet he does it time and time again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted April 1, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted April 1, 2018 Wasn't in it at all, but that's to be expected after such a long break. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Throwing him on like Bruce did demonstrated his lack of a clue, shocking management, one of the most desperate things I've ever seen from a Villa manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesp, too early (for once). 10 minutes would've been enough. There wasn't any plan behind it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 I think if Ronaldo had of come on.....the score would have been the same. too much wrong with the team for him or anyone else like him to make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it demonstrated on the night a team that had simply, nothing else in the locker. Presumably, he has shown in training he is ready to resume his match fitness. I am not in a position to know if he is ready or not, but I ask myself......when is ready. I don't think SB would risk a player like Kodj and put the rest of the season at risk, if he wasn't confident the time was right.....however, i also think it was the last throw of the dice,too.

sne Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 One of the things brought up in THAT article about his time at Sunderland is how he rushed back players after injuries, most notably David Meyler who got injured straight away again. Hopefully Bruce has learned from this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
