Demitri_C Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Sound like we were bumbling around last minute trying to find a deal after the collapse of that French cb. That's my only critism we didn't get a defender in as our defence is pretty poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il_serpente Posted August 31, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 31, 2018 So after the failure of last season's strategy of trying to concede fewer goals than our opponents, the strategy this year is to try to score more than them. If it works even a little bit the football should be more entertaining anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villaglint Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Someone twitter posted that EFL rules only allow you to sign free agents up until end of deadline ie today. So not sure Terry or anyone else is coming in. Our defence is in bits to be honest. It’s cost us points already and it’s going to cost us lots more. It’s staggering that a manager who places so much value on being tough to beat hasn’t addressed the centre of our defence and even further weakened it by letting Elphick go. It’s so bleeding mental I can’t believe the window has actually closed and there isn’t some trick up their sleeve. The idea that Bree is a fourth choice CB for a team chasing promotion is absolutely crazy. He doesn’t even play their for the U23s yet we’ve deemed he is a man we can rely on should he be required through injury in a massive game against Leeds in deepest depths of December. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes 100% sense so there is no reason that anyone at the club could have for not wanting it to happen. Make it so Villa! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 (edited) It could have been a great window. Instead were left scratching our heads wondering why we only have one recognised first team CB at the club when it's a 40+ game season. Chester playing every game last season must have been a monumental effort lets hope he somehow does the same again.

ferguson1 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Wonder if our new CEO can convince the owners to sign JT until January at least? He must know him well from his time at Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
