AvfcRigo82 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Fantastic goal against Palace yesterday. I do miss his presence here, a damn shame we couldn't have him again this season. We miss those little bits like his experienced ability to win free kicks in the must ludicrous of situations. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcRigo82 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Yet another superb goal again today from Snoddy from the edge of the box. 4 goals so far this season and 3 of them have came in their last few games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 He's looking very good. Shocked at how much quicker and fitter he looks, benefiting massively from playing under a proper manager. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does now seem clear that we were not driven hard enough in training last season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we were driven hard enough in a lot of things last season or the beginning of this one.

LakotaDakota Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 He said himself that driving 300 miles every day took it's toll, Even with better planning to sort out the food situation rather than relying on service stations he is still sat on his arse in a car for 5/6/7 hours most days which obviously isn't ideal for a professional sportsman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering all that he still play very well last season and hardly missed a game through injury. Pleased to see faith shown in him by Pellegrini and him doing well in the prem as he's one of the more likeable "big name" players we'd had in last 5-6 years.

VillaChris Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 (edited) Thinking about it pretty sure likes of Heskey, Friedel, Ireland and going further back Alan Wright and Michael Oakes all used to come into training from the North West. Pires was driven in from London every day and think likes of Luke Young and Sidwell also had their family homes in London. That's the problem with signing experienced players close to 30. Their families are settled so they don't want to uproot for the sake of playing here for 1-2 years. Edited December 16, 2018 by VillaChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Add Terry too. I liked Snoddy last year - you can tell he'd be playing on a local field if his pro career never took off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentVilla Posted December 17, 2018 Moderator Share Posted December 17, 2018 Quality on the pitch and quality bloke in real life, wish he was with us but also wish him all the best. He will get a great reception whenever he next plays at VP. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 WTF happened to him, had a good season here last season but not a chance I thought he be a Premier League regular again. Has lost a good bit of weight and even showed a bit if dynamism that he didnt really have here though he is playing a lot more central now. brilliant performance tonight from him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
