I’m not seeing much of an improvement thus far same old issues and fannying around with the ball. I think it's night and day. High defensive line, pressing from the front, actually getting runners beyond the ball. Finally a Villa manager who wants to be proactive rather than reactive. We look sloppy on the ball at times and players on different wave lengths but i'm willing to chalk that up to a new system. Defence is a worry although will hopefully improve somewhat as they get more used to the style, it is clear that both full backs are completely out their depth though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said didn’t blame him for all our problems. Just most of them. Fans seem to think we had top players and he wasn’t coaching them well. In reality we have shit players with most of them having been signing by him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am seeing some things here which give me a lot of hope. Less fussed on results now, as much as I want instant success - but I think we will get there- keep going DS, aint nobody turning a Steve Bruce team into Barca-lite in 3 games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Brucey boy really left behind a mess of a team. That defence is a laughing stock. Only Tuanzebe is good enough 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be lovely to see, really would, only way that's happening is if our energy keeps flowing and we can break them down. QPR however are keeping as many back and breaking with almost the entire team, they may decide to keep more back and be happy for a one goal lead.

There is nothing wrong with the plan, we are just unable to implement it properly. Its clear that he has asked them to retain the ball, move it quicker and press higher up the pitch - I think it’s our best chance of winning a few games We will be better when we have three or four new players in January. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted October 26, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 26, 2018 Our players are horrendous shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted October 26, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 26, 2018 We looked quite good first half. Terrible defending again for their goal. The current state of the defence means we constantly need at least 2 goals to have any chance of winning a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Some players just not good enough for Smith's football. Tactics are A1. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Of our 4 wide players only 1 have the ability to beat his man and neither of them can cross the ball with quality on a regular basis. Only Kodjer is any kind of threat and he tries too often to do it on his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 We did play good football. We just have to stick with this guy. It will get better. Smith haven't even had a transfer window yet, he will come good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
