Lerner's Driver Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 In the bin. Too inconsistent and not enough end product. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Would probably have got the winner if not for a great save from Ramsdale - it would have changed the entire complexion of the game. He was frustrating when he came on and was a mixed bag. He's got work to do still but there's clearly a player in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 He would be one of the first players i'd sell in the summer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frodo Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Yep that shot that hit the bar (saved onto the bar) if had gone in, the tone of this thread would be very different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJBOB Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Deserved a goal for the filthy take for his opportunity. A more useful role for him I think. Tons of space on the counter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do, big smelly flecks of faeces. Everything gets based on the one thing they remember drunk and whatever they already thought about the player 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted February 18, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted February 18, 2023 One minute he's astonishing in his brilliance and the next minute he's astonishing in his absolute shitness. Those saying he played well are correct. Those saying he was bad are correct. On balance I think Bertie is slightly more consistent with the good play but it's a wafer thin difference.

It's why sometimes I say... I'm convinced people just decide who is shite and then stick with it regardless. Especially when we lose... If we won the match they probably wouldn't even remember. He was ok... Looked purposeful when he came on, and almost scored a scorcher... did some good things... and also managed to undo some of the the good things he did, but nothing deserving of the usual hyperbole.

The reaction on here would be completely different if that shot had gone in, which it very, very nearly did. Bailey is a very frustrating player, but he's dangerous. I imagine Emery looks at him and thinks, if only I could get him to use those skills effectively, he would be one of my key players. I think top coaches would rather have a raw player who has those attributes and can be coached into something special, than a workhorse who has already hit his ceiling. Whether we'll see that at Villa, I'm not sure. He seems a bit too head down and off-the-cuff to ever succeed here tbh, but give him credit where it's due, he's a genuine goal threat against any defence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwi1890 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 I don’t know what he’s done to deserve so much hate , yes he can be inconsistent but there are players equally as inconsistent that people here never talk about. If Bailey hadn’t featured at all today I bet his thread would be hot and probably all his fault. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Consistency is the key to perception. For instance, when Kamara loses the ball we just kind of accept it because it happens rarely and we understand these things happen. When a player is out of form it’s hard because every mistake kind of has fans thinking ‘ffs him again’ Bailey is really struggling atm and I’m not sure he’s going to turn it around.

villa4europe Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 (edited) I think he benefitted from us changing our style of play when he came on meaning that after a lull attacking period we went after them a bit more, we attacked more as a team with him on That doesn't mean individually he was great, stevo is right, I'd use the word indecisive, cut back too often, had that great shot but has to do more on the chance vs Gabriel when he lined it up on his left but want to cut on to his right and lost the ball and that snapshot is the story of him in general We need proper wingers as it will give us better shape and just a better all round attack but Bailey isn't the answer, hopefully he's a squad player after the summer Edited February 19, 2023 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
