cheltenham_villa Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 i think the message delivered is clear, you havent played well enough. Surely it would be too our benefit if we all just got behind Ross now. If he could recover his form, we would be a better side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Lots of more energy without him. It's almost like he brings his laziness to the other players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Needs to take a long hard look in the mirror and stop being a stroppy tit. Slippery slope fella. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villan_of_oz Posted February 27, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted February 27, 2021 I think we've found Barkley's best position, the team looks balanced with his new role.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 I think he is a bad influence on the rest of the team. Cannot wait till we get rid in the summer hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 I thought he was poor today, went missing for 95 mins. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panto_Villan Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 (edited) 2 hours ago, Spoony said: Well this is his chance to show whether or not he actually cares about playing football. I suspect the answer is he doesn’t, he will see out his Chelsea contract and slowly disappear. I think this is highly unlikely, tbh. Think about the situation Ross was in - if he hadn't gone out on loan, he'd be out of contract at Chelsea in a year or two and then a midtable team would probably have snapped him up on a decent 4 year contract. Instead, he decided to go out on loan to get proper football. If it goes badly for him (which it has been so far) then he'll probably end up at a relegation candidate or playing in the Championship. I don't think he'd have done that if he didn't care about football. Why take the risk otherwise? As a poster above said, we should get behind Ross now he's finally been dropped. Maybe he's been struggling with covid or just had a bad patch of form. Hopefully he'll come on in a few substitude appearances and do something amazing, perhaps even force his way into the team. We'd be stronger if he did. And if he doesn't, he goes back to Chelsea. It's a win-win situation for us now.

DCJonah Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Clear message to him. I still think he'll be back and contribute towards a positive season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Well down the pecking order now and rightly so. The only way he'll get back on the pitch will be a lot of hard work on the training ground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparrow1988 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Ross, go get yourself sorted on the training field. Get the fitness up to scratch, find your self belief again and come back in a couple of weeks ready to fire us to Europe. Good lad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan_of_oz Posted February 27, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted February 27, 2021 I'm not replying directly, but where is this level hatred for Ross? I haven't seen anyone say they hate him. I just don't want him playing football for the club I support. Talk of hatred is just some people trying to deflect from deserved, appropriate and accurate criticism of a player who is picking up big wages and offers very little. Ramsey didn't have a great match by any means but he was still better than Barkley performance of late. A villa lad only 19 starting one of his first matches, offered more than almighty King Ross! If you can admit you're wrong then that's ok, but maybe on the subject is the way to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can admit you're wrong then that's ok, but maybe on the subject is the way to go. I think its quite clear that people hate him. Why does this board even have comments today, he didnt feature, would make more sense to put the Jacob Ramsey comments in the Jacob Ramsey thread. For me hes not been good enough, deserved to be dropped but my ideal outcome is that Dean gets him firing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used Ramsey as a comparison to a performance I expect in midfield. If he didn't play, then why are you here?? I think you've just proved my point Edited February 27, 2021 by Villan_of_oz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went one nill up and someone's first thought was to mock him in the match thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont understand that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
