rodders0223 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Darren Bent and the rest of his crew are a joke. Welcome to management Frank. 45 minutes of football and your approach and style are already being questioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted August 3, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 3, 2018 If we don't get promoted this year with Bruce I would like us to try and do what Derby are doing. Will be painful at first but rewarding in the end if they stick with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly dont think our fans would have the patience though I would like us try something different but I also believe Villa is not a club for a rookie, some experience is required 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially the latter, he makes post Liverpool Heskey look like a goal threat. At least when you cross to him like that he can't miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they would either. I'd like a manager to come out and say "look, we're trying something different to try and change the footballing philosophy at the club, chucking money at it hasn't worked so we need a new direction. It will be painful to begin with, but stick with us and we will get there" .... if they came out and said that from the get go I'd totally get behind it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could have a sliding doors moment and look into an alternate reality where Houllier stayed on. I think we'd be in a much better position now.

VillaChris Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 14 hours ago, Keyblade said: Our front 4, especially if Snodgrass comes back absolutely shits on most of these teams who we think will be fighting for promotion. Honestly, Derby's attacking players look like amateurs right now compared to Grealish. Tom Lawrence is a good player (not just saying it due to the header). He impressed me at VP last season. Not sure if Vydra is leaving but he's a good enough forward at this level. Harry Wilson did well at Hull last season. Derby's issues to me are at the back particularly with the new passing style. Reading are poor going forward and creating 3-4 really good chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree with your general sentiment though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
