All the other teams down there are every bit as shit as we are. I don't see anyone who is unlucky to be down the bottom. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We badly needed a goal scorer. If we had a goalscorer I have no doubt we would have got 6 points from Sheffield and Newcastle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said before the season started that Danny Inga would have been the perfect signing if he could stay fit. Unfortunately he wouldn't have had an amazing resale value and so was never even on our radar.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad how many seem to have got brainwashed by recent club policy that signing anyone over 25 on long term deals is seemingly a no go area for us now. I never really saw him as an option anyway as he was on loan at Southampton last season, generally did well and they had an option to buy which they took up. 18m so pretty much what we were paying for Darren Bent a decade ago, bargain in these times. He's from down there aswell so a good move for him all round. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Well signing young with resale potential has worked a treat. Great plan by the club in principle, but if you cant execute it then whats the point. Everyone we baught has lost value if anything. Shocking really considering it was the day after the playoffs when Smith and Purslow did that media interview in the VP tunnel outlining our strategy. Id like to see us go down that crazy route known as “sign good footballers with a bloody bit of fight in their make-up”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the same every year 5/6 poor teams who continue to struggle getting points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are so right. Just before the start of the season it looked like we were going to sign Benrahma. Quite a few of the journalists were saying it was done. Goodness knows what happened but it was costly not getting it over the line. It is even more mind numbing that we didn’t rectify it in January.

VillaChris Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 2-0. Ings finishes the game. Watford really don't want to be out there considering all their comments from player and manager in lockdown. Criminal we probably won't take advantage. Of their six left they've got Man. City at home and Chelsea and Arsenal away so hopefully more games they won't get anything from and their GD gets considerably worse. Last hope for us is Norwich show as much spirit as they did v Man. United and take points off West Ham and Watford as make no mistake both will be expecting to beat Norwich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaJ100 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 This is why it's so annoying. Bournemouth and Watford are absolutely pathetic and if we were just marginally less shit we'd probably be a little bit clear now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Annoying we couldnt get the 0-0 yesterday. Really werent much in it in terms of chances. We never looked like scoring but quite easily could have got a point 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
