B94villa Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Those challenges were absolutely horrific! Dirty bastards. Looked like he got a slap round the back of the head after one of them as well, only caught a glimpse of it on MOTD though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmohamady kind of clipped his hair as he was waking past after taking him down. Probably the only reason that one was a yellow card because the tackle itself while a free was fairly mild 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B94villa Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Ah ok, was a funny angle and like I said, it was only a second or two. Still, bunch of shitehawks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post The Fun Factory Posted August 31, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 31, 2014 Lovely comments from Grealish about the Holte singing his name. It gives you hope for the future, when modern football can make any fan question the connection between player and supporter. Seeing a young player come through and make a impact for the first team is what football should all be about, not huge transfers resulting from injected tv money. I willl leave you with Billy Walker's quote about the next generation of the claret and blue. As true then as it is now- ‘Almost it seems to be peopled by ghosts – amiable ghosts whose job it is to breathe the great Villa spirit into generation after generation of ambitious youngsters who pass through the great gates to achieve a life's ambition; to wear the famous claret and blue of the great club’ 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodigan Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Jack made a very important cameo yesterday was instrumental in taking the sting out of Hull at a time when last season we probably would have buckled.... I could sense the frustration of the hull players from all the way here in the orient.... great effort and the only thing better than seeing the glee with which he got up and did the same thing again, was seeing how quickly the senior players were around him every time it happened giving the hull players an earful.... looks like the shirt he gave my lad at last years soccer sevens here in HK is the next claret and blue shirt to go on his wall!!! great effort and UTV.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 the tackles were horrendous BUT his attitude was superb, he got up smiling after every one and none of this pathetic rolling around you get from players But if he is going to play until he is past 25 he needs to invest in a pair of proper shinpads 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holtender67 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 i would go as far as saying he is the new sid cowans in the making, he's the closest thing i've seen to this great legend.............UTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I was watching Jack closely during all the little drills they do and in some ways you can see he is far above the other players in terms of speed of technique and ability to take the ball in tight situations. For a player of his age that is very encouraging indeed. The other things that really struck me was how much banter he had with all the players around him, looks like he is a really popular member of the squad and I'm sure all the senior players are doing everything they can to help support him during this period. I think Lambert has it spot on at the moment feeding him in slowly, I am sure Jack will get a decent run of starts before the season is out.

Ponky Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Brad Guzan's hug at the end was epic. Kind of reminded me of this: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PompeyVillan Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Well it looks like he's already loved. Let's not build him up to knock him down like we have with others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 think the next time a team gets physical with him, Lambert should just put Keane in the technical area and stare at them. Will stop quick enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonVillian Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 really please with how jack did against hull - won us valuable free kicks and kept smiling despite getting taken out every time he got the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Biro Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Had seasoned pro's in a right muddle, getting yellow cards and getting all worked up and he just stood up, smiled and did it all again. Brilliant stuff Jack. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 It was pure joy to behold Grealish against Hull, fearless skilled and clever. I soo hope Lambert keeps playing him and most of all that he signs a new contract. Still think we need an additional wide player, because we can't expect him to play every week at a consistent level. But mostly because N'Zogbia (nor Gabby & Andi as wingers) is not good enough atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
