Grabban up top with Bruce in charge is not a very good striker. I don't blame him. Still has fitted Bruceball far more than Scott Hogan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No excuse for his lack of movement and application today, barely tried, that is 100% on him not Bruce. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn't been on it last few weeks but Kodjia hasn't been fit for 90 minutes so it is what it is. More disappointed in what Adomah and especially Snodgrass offered as attacking threats today. Some of their decision making in the final third was hopeless and we know both are better than that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adomah has been absolute shite going forward for months, Snodgrass for at least a month, not good enough from either. Adomah shouldn't expect to be starting next season IMO.

As for adomah im sick to death of the 2018 adomah. Has been shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 I agree, Adomah has been parts since xmas bar the SHA goal. My left field choice for today would've been to take him out and put Kodjia on the left. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 I actually thought Adomah was much better yesterday. Still not his best or anything close to it, but better than the last month or so. Snodgrass definitely went missing though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom13 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 The bit that wound me up with Grabban was late on when Adomah crossed for that Hogan header that went wide. When Adomah got the ball, Grabban had acres to make a run into the box away from the defender, for Adomah to slip him in, but he ambled into the centre of the box staying marked. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Could put it down to tiredness but he's looked like that in all our last three games. Should have come off at half time for Kodjia.

I think over the last few months he had ran out of steam. As for Grabban this is clearly his level and I guess we could take him again for next season. With Kodjia back though and RHM and Davis to bring through I wouldn't bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted July 3, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted July 3, 2018 Meaning Evil trying to suggest Bluescum are in for him. It's so embarrassing, it's John Terry and Maradonna all over again. They will probably be setting their sights lower than us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It now lives to annoy us with stories like this. Small Heath would love to sign him in an attempt to make them look the bigger club but a lack of money and FFP is likely to stop that happening along with the preference of the player to go almost anywhere else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Objectively he'd be a good signing for us as he's a good goal scorer at this level, however I have little appetite to see him in a Villa shirt again after that awful play off final performance, lacking in quality and effort.

Demitri_C Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 He scores goals but is very limited. Blows hot and cold which is a shame as he can score goals and look a menace one week then look completely uninterested the following week. He was dreadful in the final.

LakotaDakota Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 (edited) Forest have had a 6 million bid accepted, Pennies really for a 20+ goal per season striker, especially when you think that we have paid 4/5 times that for Hogan & McCormack. People in charge of our transfer negotiations over the past few years were completely incompetent Edited July 5, 2018 by LakotaDakota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
