Indigo Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Imagine how many we would have won by had he been dropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Had a good game getting a goal and an assist in the process. Can see his game developing under Dean Smith already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakotaDakota Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Amazing what he can do when he isn't just running around in circles waiting for someone to kick him. Much better again tonight despite probably having much less of the ball that the previous few games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt we will be pick up 10 points between now and then looking at the fixtures. 3 down, 7 to go. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Commentary was saying that Smith wants him further forward and not be coming deep for the ball. Simple changes seem to be positive 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-R Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Build up was wonderful, Grealish had a great goal at what could of been a very tough angle for alot of players, he deserved every bit of that goal. Hopefully this is the start of a wonderful run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoony Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 I really hope he keeps this up and improves. Scoring a goal shouldn’t be huge news for an attacking midfielder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shouldn't but since 2010 or 2011, our midfielders haven't been providing much assistance in the goalscoring department (apart from Adomah's run) so at Villa, not just for Jack, it kind of is a big deal.

mikeyp102 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Said to mate prior to the game I had a feeling he’d score. So nice to see him getting behind the defence, that’s where we want to see him, not on the edge of our box. Took the goal well, after a great turn and ball from Tammy That run from their corner was great and Jack in full flow. Second half looked to be taking the piss at times. Lets hope Smith keeps pushing him and gets more from him, as play like that and no one on this league can handle him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hourihane also scored 11 last year & Snodgrass 7. Pretty decent return from midfield when you add alberts 14 and a few others dotted around 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Who woulda thought playing in his correct position, in a system that suits him would get him back to his best? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is actually doing what he should be doing rather than just running around aimlessly until someone kicks him. Passed the ball around quickly & well for the most part last week and got a goal & assist tonight. That is what attacking midfielders should be contributing... It has taken him 127 appearances to get 10 goals, If this is a change in the right direction it can only be a good thing.

Dr_Pangloss Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Convinced Smith and co will get more end product into him, brilliant last night, exactly what he's capable of doing, he'll be getting into the box more and making more runs behind the forward, I think he'll get close to 10 goals this season.
