striker Posted April 4, 2021 Visiting Supporter Share Posted April 4, 2021 That really was a tragic 1st half from Villa. A combination of players on the 🏖 and not being good enough. Place Watkins out wide with Davis in the middle. Parker won’t be expecting that and at least it would be something different going forward. McGinn isn’t a number 10 and Sanson is yet another Villa midfielder who is hard to pin a description on other than being totally crap. Luiz is also awful so I’d replace them with Marvelous and anyone. Smith needs to rip them to pieces for that 1st half performance. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a pretty solid defence, but would struggle to score in a brothel! This poor form started when he was still in the team 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One team will get a bounce of the ball and take it - hopefully that's us. Not exactly a massive vote of confidence given that we are playing against a team that should be relegated this season. We need some inspiring summer signings because relegation next season after the excitement of the start of this season would be a gigantic kick in the testicles.

Grealish or not, refereeing decisions be damned, our performances are completely unacceptable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually feel sorry for Watkins, he comes here and can't get the right damn support from his frontline team and players in middle of the park.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Just now, TRO said: I am not arguing with your point.....but sick of listening to Jack, being the excuse for just about everything....this should not be a one front 6 I think the point is that he really is our only attacking outlet. We are nothing without him and that’s really clear now. Thus we need to basically overhaul everything forward of the defensive line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lack creativity 100% teams know how to play against us without Jack, we finally sorted our defence but going forward we are so limp, Jack is the viagra!

nepal_villan Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 The level of our players is much better than this. Have to presume it is the coaching staff failing to get them to click. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSpain Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Watkins is a good forward but we aren't playing to his strengths. He needs the ball played into feet, not this constant pushing out wide followed by a crap cross. The midfield is absolutely woeful again. Not one of them is capable of a bit of imagination. Cash our best player of the first half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I am grateful for what the owners have done. adding more £15m players won't progress us. bonkers as it sounds £15m gets you a fringe player....if that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLDVILLAIN Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Its almost as if smith told the team "right we hit 40 points" now just go out and do **** all on the pitch because we are going to spend 200m in the summer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briny_ear Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 6 minutes ago, StefanAVFC said: Watkins gets there first, the contact by Lemina on the ball is completely incidental; Watkins kicks it onto his foot, whilst being absolutely clattered. Another joke of a decision by the clowns at Stockley Park. Strictly speaking, the decision was made by the ref on the pitch having reviewed the incident on the screen. Stockley Park just recommended he reviewed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
