bojong Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 We've looked s*** last game and a half. But all three goals we've conceded were too easy. We should be capable of picking at least a point from games like this even if we can't create much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stockport_Villain Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Got to go 442 and put some proper pressure on them. Davis bullied them up at their place so would be quiet happy to swap Davis for Onamah or Jedi.Failing that Grabban. But be bloody positive and give us a chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rendelc Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Ha ha . Only Villa can raise your hopes up and then kick them down into the sewers in the space of a couple of weeks . Standard . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Kendrick's Dentist Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Hutton and Bjarnason are abysmal footballers. Johnstone is massively over-rated. Steve Bruce never was, isn't and never will be the man to take us forward. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robtaylor200 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 They should have stayed on at half time and run around the cones again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 We certainly can't afford defensive mode while Grealish is out. We need to continue to win games, does Bruce not understand this?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted February 20, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 20, 2018 It's a different game when you're protecting your position and not chasing. Much harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in favour of signing Johnstone , but perhaps he is over rated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our good play and run coincided with Grealish coming into the team. Now he's out performances have returned to what they were. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junxs Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 need to switch to 442 and attack more, this formation doesn't work without Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 We have not come back from a losing position to win a game since reading last year. god help us, best we damn hope for now is a point. Cardiff can go five points ahead of us now as it stands. Pathetic bottle job villa show some bloody fight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Jed , Thor and Onomah off and a move to 4-4-2 its not exactly shit or bust time but if we can’t beat this Preston side then we can give up on hopes of second place 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our good play and run coincided with Grealish coming into the team. Now he's out performances have returned to what they were. It's true. He drags players all over the pitch which creates space for others. Without him we can't handle a team pressing. They all Need too many touches. As ive said in the other threads over the past week. No Grealish = No promotion. It's as simple as that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 We've made their keeper work a fair bit whereas our has made another mistake. That side is definitely inbalanced though, please make changes early. Gonna be a bad week with Sheff Utd, Boro, Preston all making ground. Better hope Grealish and Albert arent too far away or we could struggle to even make the playoffs. Even when they are back, its going to be completely different trying to get back into their groove and get the team ticking again, it was all smooth in the winning streak, but after being out a few weeks and going back into a losing team is a different thing altogether.

I admit he is shit but noway is the the worst player on the pitch right now. Anyone of them could be taken off and it would be justified. He would have even more if he actually showed the ball and stopped our wingers going backwards and Terry having to hoof it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted February 20, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 20, 2018 So glad I didn't go tonight. If Jack don't play then we don't play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyjavfc Posted February 20, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 20, 2018 We are a one man team, and that man is injured. No shame in relying so heavily on our best player but it will ruin our season if Grealish is out much longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
