Vive_La_Villa Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I just watched his last seasons goals. If you get chance watch the one against Man U at home and then McGinn’s reaction when he runs over to a celebrating Traore. The guys hilarious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa_Vids Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I think he would be a good partner for either Ings or Watkins in a front two, offers creativity and good link up play. I would prefer him with Ings though, I think they would be on the same wave length. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enda Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 We really are blessed with attacking options at the moment. Against weaker teams I could see us playing a modified 4-2-4 with Douglas and McGinn holding midfielders spraying it out to Traore and Leon, with the two boys up front. Lethal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Got to be my favourite player right now. I'm amazed we have someone like him wearing the shirt. The stuff he can do at times is incredible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AV82 Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I'd be interested to see him play with a back 5 so he has less defensive responsibility - we all know he's not the best at tracking back but he's a dream to watch going forward.

Most teams need results right now. I reckon Deano and co, identified all his raw attributes, work on the other elements of his game and are trying to tie it altogether, while still encouraging him to enjoy his flair game and express himself. The plethora of options we now have, has given him time to be worked and settled in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Woody1000 Posted September 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 24, 2021 It’s one year since his Bristol City goal, after watching the guy over the last year I think he meant that 100%! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I think last season our lack of options meant he played even when struggling with form. The alternative was Trez and he was injured quite often too. This season he has to really earn his place. Great situation to be in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I can't wait for the game when we have Bert and Bailey are playing either side of Watkins. I'm a big fan of Traore and think he'll make it hard for Buendia to get regular game time. He has the raw talent to go to the very top. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom13 Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 If he does start I hope he brings out one of his trademark sliced clearances about 100 foot in the air across his own penalty area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey has poor defensive stats too. These types of flair wingers are all about the attacking output. They'll learn the press from Master Watkins. We give the decision making on when to press and when not to Ollie, then everyone does the job when he says go. Like Alexander the Great at the head of his cavalry, when he charges they follow. I think come the last ten games of the season we'll be a seriously good footballer team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 As it stands he's a really good impact sub for last half hour when space opens up if game is in the balance. I love watching him aswell but saw last year he has flaws when starting. Pretty exciting if we can defend well tomorrow and v Spurs we could potentially have Buendia, AEG and Bert all ready to put on from 60th minute mark. Bailey should be option aswell but we seemingly can't have everything this season. Such a better place than March and April when Davis and Wes were only real attacking options off the bench for last 10 games. That's how you improve a squad and some of those above will be starting games as and when. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 (edited) I get people wanting to see him start but if we go 5-3-2/ 3-5-2 it won’t happen. Edited September 25, 2021 by Vive_La_Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
