Unless it means 3 at the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevomanila Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Am on phone so excuse typos/format please but yeah I wondered about 3 at the back too at least against some oppositin as it negates our weaknesses at fullback...when all fully fit I would like to see the following line up with Green as a right wing back..he has the energy and McGinn as a left wing back..we would miss him in the middle but he could be a huge asset both defensively and offensively to us down the left..bags of energy and can whip a good ball in too.. Kalinic Tuanzebe Chester Mings Jedinak or Carrol depending on opposition Jack and Hourihane until we sign a better replacement for the latter.. Green right, McGinn left Abraham and Kodj up top Regardless though we may just see Mings deployed as a left back as he has played there before anyway.. I do trust DS though to find the right formation for getting as many of our best players onto the pitch at once..we cannot afford to keep having our weaknesses exposed..

I can't think of anything worse than having McGinn playing as a wingback. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 No idea why you would play pretty much the same personnel in pretty much the same style and suddenly expect things to change. Game after Game after Game after Game Concerned now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Repeats the same mistakes as Bruce and does little to change it, time after time it's the same under performers in the same formation, no fresh ideas are being presented I'm afraid.

penguin Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Was willing to put up with the up and down results when we were playing good football and looked a work in progress. This has completely ceased now and we are unrecognisable from Steve Bruce’s Aston Villa. Starting to have hallmarks of Paul Lambert Mk 2. Exciting, progressive and attacking manager comes to Villa; All looks good for a while yet after conceding a load of goals starts losing bottle we getting more and more negative. Subs far too late today and what’s Jedinak all about that late on playing third from bottom ffs, really was a must win a point is next to useless.

foreveryoung Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Never mind Bruce, the amount of draws to shite teams reminds me of Mcleish!! Why Jedinak??? We have a striker on nearly 20 goals and we score draw against a weak Reading side. Concerned, definitely. Is this what Managing Villa does to a tactical manager, maybe. It's like managers come here, then become terrified to lose a game, an tighten up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Pathetic subs once again. Smith, drawing is useless. Just take a risk and throw kodjia, Davies and Abraham forward and just go for it. The reward is huge but today you were a coward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, he will be dishing out a years contract to Hutton next and recalling Stephen Ireland and Darren Bent from the bomb squad for some much needed experience 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don_Simon Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 If this carries on, he's in a precarious position. Why send the kids out on loan when you're continually playing sub par players who won't be here next season? This isn't the manager I thought we were getting and it worries me.

GingerCollins29 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I am one of Smith's biggest fans and was so pleased when he got the job because I wanted desperately to see fast, pace football. What is he doing? Need to win so take SJM off and bring on jedinak. It's becoming bruceball version 2.0. I'm genuinely lost for words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
