He's welcome to, but so long as he doesn't destroy a match by thinking he's better than the rest of the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 15 hours ago, VillaChris said: Would like to see Steer get a run of games though, for what he gave us in the run in last season he deserves it. If he isn't quite good enough then Heaton will likely be fit by that time aswell. I agree with the above. Jed's our number two and he should get the first few games (assuming he's fit), if necessary. Heaton is first choice and hopefully it won't be too long until he's available again. PhysioRoom show 29/8/21 as his potential return date (link below). Pepe has done what he was brought in to do and has played a big part in our last few games, but he isn't a number two, or is unlikely to be satisfied with being one for us. If our top two are still going to be real doubts in September (hopefully not), then we will need to look again at Pepe or bringing in someone else, possibly short term. https://www.premierinjuries.com/injury-table.php 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Can't wait for him to return. We miss him so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornso Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 We can't rely on him. That kind of injury, at his age, who knows if physically he'll be able to get back to the standard he was beforehand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I think we need to buy a new first choice keeper and let Heaton prove his fitness after an injury like that. Which worries me as our record of buying keepers is pretty dire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Don't remember seeing heaton at the celebrations after our draw at WH? Especially strange as wesley was there, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 He had an injury at Burnley and came back really well. You evaluate in January or next summer I think regarding keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a photo after the game showing Heaton on FaceTime on Grealish’s iPhone so he wasn’t at the ground, you’re right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 (edited) i think he's a brilliant goalkeeper, and exactly what we needed (if he could stay fit). Im torn between not buying a new keeper and giving Heaton a chance to not be injured, but also im concerned that in the last 3 years he has been absent for 370+ days in total, so its a bit concerning if he cant avoid injury next season. I think i would buy another GK to challenge him, not because i dont think he is good enough to be our no1, but becuase im not confident he will stay injury free, and not having another quality GK might leave us in the doo doo.

Gompedyret Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Quite sad that we are without a recognized and fit first keeper, as Villa have been a regular keeper warehouse these later seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality wise yes, but you can’t knock us on quantity, we must have about a dozen knocking about. I wouldn’t be surprised if we’d built a separate dressing room at BMH just for goalkeepers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Great ness. With keepers they dont need to build fitness up as much. We still a decent cover as im sick of nyland and his blunders. Steers always injured so he would be my no 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
