Dodgyknees Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Lambert, Sherwood, Garde, RDM and Bruce. He is 22 and, on average, has played under a new manager every year since he made his debut for us. I said the same a while back - that will impact a young player negatively.

Him and Hourihane are a great little tag team. Since his return he's been consistent and effective with space or without space. It's really exciting having a player like that in the team, we will always be a threat in this league. Without doubt his return has coincided exactly with not only an upturn in results but more importantly an upturn in performances. When we win its fully deserved and no longer feels like we did just enough to get away with it. He takes games by the scruff of the neck for us and it's an absolute pleasure to watch him play right now. It's been some time since we have had a player where you can physically sense the excitement in the crowd when he gets the ball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 He was played in different positions, because the manager wanted him in the side, but his attributes were limited and it was causing problems to the balance of the team. In other words he hadn't fully developed in to a complete enough player. Steve Bruce maintained he wanted to build his team around him, i think he was talking from a stand point of what he seen jack could be. Jack has come back from a nasty injury, in the meantime has been working with ollie the coach on one on one strength enhancing training.....its clear, he is now harder to knock off the ball, much more resillient. He left us in the summer as a boy and returned to us as a man. This guy, can go a long long way in this game, hope its with us. Legend in the making......its not beyond him......just needs to add goals and keep working on his game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been some time since we have had a player where you can physically sense the excitement in the crowd when he gets the ball. His ability to move the ball with control unhinges the opposition and gives our players that fraction more time to get positioned. players around him look more composed. some of his passes are weighted to perfection, not always seen at this level. He has raised our standard a few notches.....long may it continue. need to keep him injury free. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also don't forget the attacking style guru that is Eric Black. I've said it before but the turmoil at AVFC has sadly held back Jack's development. However under this coaching team he seems to now be turning into the player we all hope he can be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont_do_it_doug. Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 A truly sensational performance again. He has things to work on, he's still a little hesitant at times but if he was this player for the rest of his career he would go on to become a legend down The Villa. His assist yesterday was remarkable, as was the ghost across the box which he should have scored from. Similar to his 70 yard run against Bristol in that it looks a bit odd at first, the way everyone just stands off him trying to shepherd him to god knows where, but he leaves them with no option. They're fully aware that if they go in on the ball when Jack has a hold of it they're going to miss and give away a penalty, or worse. He is quite literally unplayable at times. There aren't many midfielders like this knocking around I assure you. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I can't believe we have a player like this that came from our academy. How many players in this league can give that through ball he gave to Adomah before that Hogan chance? Or even in the PL apart from the top 6? If he came through at Arsenal for example, the English media would be creaming themselves as they have been with Jack Wilshere for the past decade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 That ball to Adomah for hogans shot off the post, the vision and weight of the pass..You won't see many players in the championship be able to do that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
