The whole club there seems strangely obsessed with what we do. Preparing the ground for when Shef Utd do an Ipswich Town Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Just on the topic of his miss, am I the only one that thought he did everything he could with it? The ball was traveling to him at speed over a very short distance. He lifted his striking foot so that the risk of ballooning the strike was minimal. The ball bobbled at the moment before impact and hit the top of his foot sailing over the bar. Had he assumed there would be a bobble, and raised his foot any higher, he risked scuffing it or doing an air shot as his foot would have been too high to connect if it stayed on the floor. I get we were at Burton, but the pitch looked pretty good given it is the start of the season. Dont particularly hold the miss against him, but just assuming he should score because he's so relatively close to the goal is a bit one dimensional for me. If he says or has said he should have done better himself I'll retract the above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 4/1 for first goal scorer, easy money. I can see him scoring tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I thought he was alright, had some decent shots and has something about him. Think he can score a few at this level ,hopefully dosen't take him too long to get off the mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sums up the main issue against Shef Utd for me. Service to Watkins was piss poor: can’t judge his contribution because so little went to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenfly Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 He showed his versatility today. Seeing him move to the wing to make room for Davis and allow Grealish to move into the middle was encouraging. He struggled to find space, but then there wasn't ever going to be any. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC44 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Tough up against 3 centre backs but not a bad debut. Was always going to be hard to get the ball to him after the red card because Sheff Utd defended so narrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 didnt get the service, but he worked hard and did his best, all we can ask. Hopefully we will buy some creative players to help grealish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 he was up against a team that put everyone behind the ball. Nearly scored a wonder goal. He will be fine, there won't be many games like that with so little space in the final third. He does look a bit clumsy on the ball at times. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazmonkey Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I said this after Burton....he needs the ball in front or to run on to and we don't play that way. Too much long ball to him....could do nothing tonight...poor tactics by villa. And thats regardless of playing against 10 men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 He did OK and came very close to scoring. No concerns! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 It was horrible for him to find any space when they had two banks of 4 sitting so deep but once we went ahead and there was space to play he showed plenty of quality.
