He wanted to stay play and succeed but was never given an explanation as to why. No indication it's a quality of play issue. He loves the fans but has never been given backing in the club. Is what I have been told by someone that does know him very well and sees him almost daily. That’s a shame to hear. Could be all manner of things, approach to training or how he responds to criticism or anything. Respect Dean’s decision and also wish Fred the best of luck, he’s a good player.

Well from the eye test he can't pass wind. Is constantly out of position and has no real exceptional attributes to make up for it. Except for a good slide tackle on him.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My interpretation of this, he's not particularly good at football and ligue 1 mid table is about his level. He's never going to get in the team ahead of cash. However he doesn't agree with this point of view and thinks that he is good enough to start at right back for us week in week out. So he assumes the manager doesn't like him and that's why he's not in the team. I doubt Dean is going to say to him "listen you're shit mate, that's why cashy is ahead of you even when he's hungover after a 48 hour drinking binge with Ross McCormack".

Jas10 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I find it a shame really, he could’ve helped us out. There must be something “off” behind the scenes or maybe him and Dean just don’t get on… Oh well.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Well let's hope Cash doesn't get injured or suspended, and picks up form. Totally utterly bewildering decision if we expect Young or Axel to cover this position with any level competence. Best of luck Fred. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeypuzzle Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Curious as to what the long term plan here is. I hope Kaine Kesler-Hayden will be competition for Cash next season but will the club bring in a new right back at some point instead? As it stands we now do not have two players for each position. I know we are unlikely to make eleven changes to our starting line up all at once but it seems strange not to keep him round and instead take a small risk.

AntrimBlack Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Good luck to him. Always liked him and don't understand this decision or the way he has been treated during his time with us. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been that way for a while mate. Smith never rated him from the minute he saw him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smg Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 He is obviously ambitious and wants to play and progress (which he makes clear on social media) but does he demonstrate this in training and around bodymoor heatn on a day to day basis, which is how he will be judged by the manager and coaches. He is good enough to play professional football (lucky him) but his actual performances at premier league level are not as good as he thinks they are, he will probably flourish in the French league but that really is his level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, we now no longer have a replacement right-back, which is a bit of a worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post dont_do_it_doug. Posted August 31, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 31, 2021 I don't rate him. The manager doesn't rate him. He has somehow achieved cult status at Villa despite doing nothing except be a liability almost every time he is on the pitch. Regardless of that, this faux outrage at "the way he has been treated" is by far the most bizarre aspect of this whole saga. It's a shame we weren't able to flog him so people could get on with their lives rather than worrying about this painfully average millionaire footballer who our manager simply doesn't rate. I wish him all the best though, obviously. Honest. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
