OutByEaster? Posted August 25, 2017 Moderator Share Posted August 25, 2017 Adomah>Elmo - by a distance on what I've seen so far. We were better with four at the back, it gave us a bit more in midfield - we can come out of this one with a win if we can get the ball down, get Hourihane and Onomah involved and show a bit of confidence, patience and belief. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troglodyte Posted August 25, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted August 25, 2017 I don't understand people wanting Onomah off. I think he's looked good. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Just now, romavillan said: I'm all for being positive, but that was a horrific cross with time and space, players to find in the box, one on the edge. Could have carried it 20 yards if he'd wanted too. I didn't say bring him off, but that was awful I've got absolutely zero problem with our players getting in the right position at the right time but messing up a delivery. If it happens again, they do it better. He did do badly with that cross - if it happens again, he delivers a better ball. But no, he's SHIT!!

Farlz Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 We look better with the formation we done well with this past week?! I am truly shocked. Samba needs to be subbed off for Bree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because believe it or not and this may come as a surprise there is another team other than villa on the pitch and sometimes we can't play the way the fans want to. I bet it'll be Bristol are a shit team etc etc. We've not looked in much trouble I think our keepers only had to make one save whereas their keeper has had to make 2-3 ;-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Bruce's change of formation I swear was prompted by the stick he knew he would get if he'd carried on. I think this pressure on him is a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats all it takes to invoke The Curse. Only those clearings in the woods from across the city believe in curses. Hopefully Bristol are all spunked out now.

bobzy Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 For me, take off Samba (even though he's done well), bring on Bree and bring Chester into the middle. Then leave it for a bit. The change in formation has settled things. Get El Mohammady/Green/Hourihane further forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deisler123 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 The reason why some complained about Elmo is simply because he cannot get any support from RB, whilst Green still has LB helping him to create room. why can't we have Bree on as RB, ffs. bree on, samba off. 60", Lansbury on, onomah off, then that is our best attacking formation when opponents are becoming tired.

honest_bertie Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Joke manager. To go from winning two in a row playing a set formation to playing 3 at the back today is just ridiculous. Good on him for changing but singlehanded has compromised the 11 now having samba on and Chester right back. Steve it ain't broke don't fix it, if it is fix it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adomah is a lot better going forward at least, he was productive last season, scoring some goals and had a good amount of assists, needs to come on, Elmo has been very poor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam3773 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I'm here for my first ever away game (touch me) and we have been dire up until a little spell at the end. 3 at the back doesn't work for us. Samba needs to come off at half time, Whelan needs to realise this isn't rugby and a forward pass is indeed allowed and the Bristol City fan in the red and white stripey polo needs to give it a rest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean... sure, he won two in a row - with entirely different starting elevens and against opponents in entirely different states. But sure, take that stick. Take it and love it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
