I'm sure if we were chasing the game the Traore would have come on. But to bring Traore on defending a 1-0 lead would have been suicide. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Its time his exile is over now! Its plain silly to exclude him any further when we are have such a massive uphill battle to save our 28 years status in the top flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Based on this season he isn't the saviour you are looking for. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I personally don't care if he never plays for us again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played his part in keeping us up and getting us to the cup final last season. He's still very young. Give him a chance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 As far as i'm concerned we are down already so don't really care if he plays or not for the rest of the season to be honest. His behaviour hasn't really done him any favours. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Be interesting to see if his attitude has changed next time out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I think 2 games out is enough if the boss is happy with how he has reacted to being out of the squad. I would have him on the bench for the Arsenal game and would hope he could come on and show how much he has missed playing for us next weekend.

troon_villan Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Yep depends how he has trained since the exile I guess. If he has earned it then he should be back on the bench for Arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted December 6, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted December 6, 2015 Garde has said he's playing for the u21s tomorrow and then he'll be back in the squad. I bet he'll have an impact when he comes back. I'm actually looking forward to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbauer24 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Gabby and Grealish have both been well out of form this season. Both are said to be Villa through and through. After their breaks for different reasons they need to now come back and bleed for the cause because an on form Grealish will cause problems, and an on form Gabby will make space and together they should be capable of at least us showing some fight as we go down. Yes Grealish is young and yes Gabby will never be prolific but both have offered more in recent times (last season) than the current players (Grealish for Sinclair and Gabby for Gestede). I think the season will make or break Grealish now, he's had the honeymoon, he's gone of the rails a tad so now it's decide which road to take - one he ends up where Kane or Barkley are, the other is the tale of Ireland or Bentley. We'll probably know by May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my view in the corporate seats I can tell you that Westwood was coming on for Sinclair as he was stripped off and the board was ready ... Gestede then got injured and so Sinclair stayed on and Westwood came on for Him instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I think he needs to cut out the nonsense but his form won't define his career this season as he's got plenty of time and I think he will be a major player for us in the championship.

The Fun Factory Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I hope moving forwards he follows the professionalism of a James Milner type rather than a Lee Hendrie. At the moment he has just got some potential. Needs to put his head down and put in 10-15 solid performances and let the football do the talking.

sir_gary_cahill Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 He was good for the u21s tonight but he wasn't dominant like you'd expect him to be, was good to see him out on the pitch at villa park though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewie Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Young Jack officially back in training with the first team, according to the BBC Quote Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish has returned to first-team training. Grealish, 20, was forced to train with Villa's youth team as punishment after reports he visited a Manchester nightclub after a 4-0 loss at Everton. He played for Villa Under-21s in their victory over Derby on Monday but has missed Premier League games against Watford and Southampton. "I am pleased to have him back because he's an important player for the group," said manager Remi Garde. Grealish has made 12 appearances this season, scoring once. Villa are bottom of the table and have not won in the league since the opening day. They face second-placed Arsenal at Villa Park on Saturday, pitting Garde against the club he played for in the 1990s. The Frenchman added: "I am pleased regarding how Jack trained over the past two weeks with the U21s. "Jack is back. I am happy for that - and for the team." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villianusa Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Four touches in 17 minutes, isn't good enough for a creative player. Needs to work harder off the ball, and get into better positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
