Even if we won 9-0 for the next weeks it doesn't mean we will win at hull. Fitness wise we look poor so far but I expect we will get better with the more games go on. some shit performances from hogan, McCormack, Hutton and the imposter known as Thor as I thought Thor was tough well he certainly looks crap every time I've seen him.

Don't tell me it's just pre-season, and don't tell me we were focusing on fitness. It's just absolute garbage. BTW, it was never a penalty. Understand the frustration...... but I thought green looked ok first half and Davis held the ball up well when he came on he done more in his 30 mins than Hogan and Rmc together. Your right It was garbage though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USA_Villa Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 I'm not asking for much, all I want to see is the potential for something better than last season. Anything will do. I'm just struggling to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even the first outing of terry and chester? thought they were very promising together. also thought hourihane, green and Lansbury did well. But I must be kidding myself instead of vitriolic overreacting Edited July 15, 2017 by theboyangel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osmark86 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Well at least we know not to combine Hutton and Richards at CB :D. That should be common knowledge however. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 yeah, don't need winning results, just any sign that the our esteemed manager has any idea of how he went wrong last year. I know it's only pre-season but due to the depressing style of last year, I admit for me he has next to no rope left with regards to starting this season. If it isn't quick and well, I'll immiediately lose any remaining faith in him. He's been here 9 months now. So hopefully, this is just a crappy pre-season game with little to mean from it and come a months time we'll be a radically different proposition. I hope. It's just very rare you get a side that does radically transform from pre-season into the season as a different side 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has Richards actually played well with anybody at CB since Richard Dunne in about 2006 when he held his hand. Since he was here he played with Lescott, Okore, Clark and think Baker and looked awful each time (not that others are better) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osmark86 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 I'm not an expert in his triumphs prior to joining us, but in a Villa shirt the answer is a resounding no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrytini Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 3 hours ago, Paul33 said: New season, same shit. Still no obvious playing style, still no energy in midfield, still no creativity in midfield, still nobody running with the ball in midfield, still no service to the forwards and, very obviously, still the same shit and clueless coaching team. It may be pre-season but that was their pre-season too and the team that beat us was pretty much there second XI. 100% this. Im afraid anyone saying it's "just per season" is missing the point. Unless Bruce changes how we play - which of course is still possible - we can add these games to what we already know and draw conclusions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
