chrisvilla4 Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 So happy for him, he's keeping our record signing and his mate, who's lifted his spirits, on the bench. Also comes at a good time to give diaby a break. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntrimBlack Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 I had real doubts about him, but he obviously just needed time. He has been brilliant recently, and I love to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villanwesty88 Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Could there be a chant for him using the UB40 Kingston town song, given he is from Kingston town himself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed other than their might be a factor of fitness/recovery with that game coming so soon - he was blowing at the end even before that kick on the calf!

VillaJay Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 To be fair, even last season where his form was middling at best, he was involved in a lot of goals. I remember watching a review of all our goals last season, and Bailly had many assists to the assister. He's always had the contribution ability, he was just lacking some consistency and just getting the basics right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs a consistent run of starts to do that and shut the 'haters'/doubters (of which I was one) up properly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, playing very well right now and looks to have stepped up to show his best form in his villa career so far. Needs to continue this form, but more than deserves his place in the team right now.

Stevo985 Posted December 7, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted December 7, 2023 13 hours ago, kurtsimonw said: He spent 80 minutes basically just taking the absolute piss out of Gvardiol. One of the best defenders in World football. When he's on his game, his trickery, pace and directness are a nightmare for anyone to handle. And, weirdly, I actually think Gvardiol did pretty well. If Bailey had played like that against a lesser defender they'd have had to retire 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed: for the neutral, I thought it was a good battle at times (Gvardiol's shirt pulling should have been called out by the ref more, mind). It looked like having Gvardiol mark him actually encouraged Leon to push on 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t say you wernt allowed to criticise people for their opinion it’s a forum after all. Your point was this is why we support and don’t criticise. The point is that blind support isn’t always correct if a player isn’t up to it then they deserve criticism. Bailey wasn’t up to it and I’m sure Unai criticised him and did drop him. Are you supporting Dendocker, Traore, Chamber et al? Bailey has turned the corner and come back stronger and I’m all for it, happy to give players like Zaniolo the benefit of time aswell but at the moment his performances don’t deserve blind support either.
