I'm not sure if it's Dean's fault or not. Never bring in Kodjia again though. WBA has the second best squad in the championship. It is never going to be a walkover when you play a team who is of similar quality to yourself. Edited December 8, 2018 by Made In Aston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Zatman Posted December 8, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 8, 2018 I really like his post match interviews, no cliches no bullshit. Actually talks about what happened and goes over incidents from the game. Not afraid to say we played bad or played well 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Been a class act since he walked through the door. Knows what he wants and knows how to make the right steps to achieve what he wants. Over the moon knowing we have one of the modern new breed of managers leading us finally. Refreshingl post match interview last night, any other Villa fan wouldnt be that calm after such events. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post villalad21 Posted December 8, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 8, 2018 The fact that we're sitting here dissapointed for drawing away to wba just shows how much progress we've made under DS. Remarkable 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Watching the highlights it's incredible we don't win the game after all the chances we are creating. Need to be more clinical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to be more clinical Yeah if we were more clinical.....boy! I think it's semi comical that if other players were missing the glaring chances abraham was missing quite a few ppl on this forum would be screaming for them to be dropped. granted he scores a few , but I'm undecided if the ones he misses are forgivable because he gets himself in positions to score or miss, would be interested to see how another decent striker would do scoring wise in this DS system so I have something to compare against.

Ah, hindsight is a beautiful thing Get what you are trying to say, however it is flawed as I assume you are basing this purely on poaching, finishing and haggling. Thing is Tammy offerd more than goald, he also offers presence offensivley/defensively and link up play. Now if you say, had we brought on Hogan instead of Kodjia we win that game, I'd probably have to agree. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at the boro game we got chance straight away and scored when he came on. Dean Smith is a perfect manager for Hogan, we saw that at Brentford. I'm almost 100% sure Hogan would get a 100 % chance if he played. I'm not saying we should start Hogan over Abraham, no way but in hindsight i think Hogan would have scored.

It's just a whole different feel altogether and we actually feel like we are getting somewhere under this manager and his team. Open, honest and to the point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wedge Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 I can't recall a more attack-minded, 'let's extend the lead rather than sit back on it'-type manager since the days of Big Fat Ron's claret and blue army. I actually enjoy watching my team play football and it's been a long, long time since I've been able to say that. Win, lose or draw - home or away, you know that DS will never play cagey for a draw, we'll go out to win the game by as many goals as possible and I for one love it.

The evidence was definitely there at Brentford. No reason to believe Smith couldn't get the best out of him again, especially in this system.
