Get him a new contract before we get him regular football there in January. Not for me, slightest hint of an injury to Ings or Watkins then this kid is starting. Hell, if we need a goal last 30 get him on. He's flying. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbvilla909 Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Kid is a real talent, his goal last night was absolutely sublime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntrimBlack Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 He has a knack of being in the right place at the right time to get a chance at goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Delphinho123 Posted September 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 23, 2021 A lot of people were focusing on the miss, I wasn't. Sometimes you have to look at HOW he gets into that position in the first place and exactly what he tried to do. His first and second touch to get into a position where he could shoot were sublime. It wasn't an easy ball to control and the ability to bring it under control and then have the wherewith-all to try and chip the keeper on his weaker foot is really, really superb at his age. He is a very good little player, I just hope he gets the game time to really push on. I think he'd absolutely smash it up at a championship club and could see him perhaps spending time on loan in the second half of the season. Another talented lad we've brought through. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted September 23, 2021 Moderator Share Posted September 23, 2021 Top scorer for us so far this season. Even his misses I thought he did alright. The first one where Sanson slipped him through needed a dink over the keeper. He had the composure and made the right choice but just gave it a little too much, but all the processes were there, and the second one he had to get it out of his feet and still got the shot away. I like what I've seen from this guy. Even when the ball isn't going in, he's showing he has a striker's instinct. A bit like Watkins last season when the ball wasn't falling for him, he was in the right place at the right time and you can't coach that. Archer's problem now is that his opportunities will dry up until we get knocked out of the FA Cup by United in January. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually the first touch on the first chance wasn't good at all as he made the goal smaller because ofthe direction he moved in, but the touches on the second chance was great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Love the kid already. We need better in house interviewer though, Michelle should do it full time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Not a criticism of the lad as its a side of football that he probably didn't expect... But comparing his interview from last night with Barry's from previous games it looks like ones had some training or anticipated it better than the other! Hopefully he has many more interviews to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexicon Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 His pace is frightening and he's using it so well with the runs he's making - finishing is tidy too. All this bodes very well for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Shakespeare's comments suggest this has kind of come out of the blue for both parties. Just goes to show, you don't know how someone will react to a chance until you give them one (KW.gif). Some rise to it (KW.gif) and some hide. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdman Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 (edited) Not sure about him going out on loan. Looks good enough to be involved for us this season. But I suppose us going out the cup will limit his opportunities and he probably needs alot more minutes than we can give.

Popular Post Wainy316 Posted September 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 23, 2021 Pretty much came out of nowhere to usurp Wesley, Davis, Barry and Brad Young in the pecking order. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 He isn't a kid. Turns 20 in 3 months time. He is entering an age where he needs to start playing week in week out if not his development could quickly stagnate. Because of the options we have up front it will be difficult for him to make it at Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's our 3rd choice striker and we've started the first 2 together in the last 2 games, he'll get minutes here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
