GENTLEMAN Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 I'm not too worried. Looked like he felt his quad on shooting, asked for sub straight away in a precautionary manner. As it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMelvillan Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Think he caught the turf with his toe a bit when having that last shot. Like others say they will all have been told to come off if they felt any niggles rather than risk causing extra harm. He' ll be grand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sidcow Posted August 8, 2021 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted August 8, 2021 Could you imagine the angst on here right now if we hadn't have got Ings in. On reflection we were SO lucky last season that he played so many games. It would have been a complete disaster if he'd had got a bad I jury last season. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of us have been shouting this from the roof tops for ages. I’m still amazed how many said it wasn’t needed before we signed Ings. Even if Ollie is ok, hopefully the scare jolts some people how lucky we were last season and how desperately we needed another quality striker, thankfully we now have Ings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most top teams accommodate at least two top strikers, why should we be different ?

If you want to play Ollie + Ings it can't be as two strikers. One will have to go wide. Edited August 8, 2021 by hippo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another thing I found odd was when ings screamed out for him to lay it out square tk him for a tap in but he decided to shoot. Didn’t matter much today, but in a proper game I’d have been annoyed. Maybe just used to being up there by himself? Or thought it’s a friendly I’m just gonna shoot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still in the let's get Tammy in, just in case Watkins is ruled out for abit and Ings goes gets injured. We already are Davis down and a Wesley possibly being abit more in rehabilitation right? We have the coinage from Jack or extra spending however you see it theoney is there to pull Tammy in now Jack's not here on his high wages.

Looked really good in pre-season, has really surprised me since his arrival at just how good he still is. He can play absolutely anywhere on that LHS to a very high standard.

Targett is much better than Cash at the moment (and I’m saying Cash is bad at any case). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To many missing CFs for a season that's not even begun yet ay Nick I wish, even I dont think that would happen. It is funny that the links we have over the summer that have been ex players, we gone onto signing and when the rumours have been circulating before that they have said those names plus Tammy. We have brought back into the club both Ashley and Axel, I wonder if the third name in would be Tammy being brought back in. I highly doubt it now but that would blow some of the heads in this forum who are already fuming about bringing back two former Villa players. Definitely isnt going to happen but would be extremely funny to see the meltdown here. The thing I'm more amazed at is that we were told Ollie cant be played wide or wont be played wide for another striker but then suddenly since Ings has signed it has suddenly become an option. I never said Ollie should play wide ever and even since Ings signed I havent said it but it is amazing that was thrown in our face as an excuse not to buy another striker yet now it is commonly discussed as a reasonable option. Villa fans are weird. Edited August 8, 2021 by nick76 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
