Pretty sure he was ill not rested for the last game. Either way a week off is no harm. He's the difference between promotion and playoff heartbreak Edited April 20, 2019 by villa89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When a new manager comes to a club they usually pick players they know well. Bruce doesnt even trust him Makes me thing Spurs had a clause that he had to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post wilko154 Posted April 21, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 21, 2019 Did a bit of stat finding tonight on Grealish, I wanted to see how many secondary assists he had made (setting up the assist). Overall this season: Under Bruce Played - 11 Goals - 0 Assists - 1 Secondary Assists - 2 Under Smith Played - 17 Goals - 6 Assists - 5 Secondary Assists - 6 Quite impressive the difference Smith has had on Grealish's game. The secondary assist stat is also quite impressive, he's managed 8 this season. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pass inside the fullback for the winger is his bread and butter and has led to many goals this season I'd imagine. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be Sid Cowans with a Grealish pass. Glen Hoddle would weep at his own inadequacy whilst watching a Cowans pass. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say Cowans was more sitting in the middle spraying passes around. Jack more attacking and a better dribbler. He breezes past defenders like the great players do. I am still not certain how he does it, he doesn't appear to be doing anything different but the opposition players are just left in his wake. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Python did a version of that showing the arrow splitting the Apple to great applause and cheering... the camera pulls back and there’s about eighty arrows stuck in the Boy, the tree, the ground...... thankfully those days seem to be behind us !

To be fair to Millwall, they were nowhere near the dirtiest team we've played this season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
