ismail-villa Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Don't know why but I have the feeling Okore will play some part in this match... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted September 27, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted September 27, 2014 I'd rather have him play today ahead of Baker and Clark. Although Baker could do a job getting stuck into the Beast Costa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 IMO if he is in the same boat as Sanchez and simply "just not ready" then they should not be starting. With Chelsea and Man City round the corner heavy defeats are a strong possibility and will only contribute further towards any confidence issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AValon Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Personally can't wait for this kid to become a regular in the first team. I have high hopes for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Chelsea and Man City round the corner heavy defeats are a strong possibility and will only contribute further towards any confidence issues. He's not in the same boat as Sanchez though as he proved in the first few games last season that he was ready. Sanchez is still yet to prove that - in a Villa shirt at least.

villan-scott Posted September 27, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted September 27, 2014 Not even in the squad today. Disappointing really, want him back in the fray, a step above Baker and Clark IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Disappointing we lost to Orient as I'd have started him in the Carling Cup given Clark and Baker are getting found out now we're playing decent games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayEm Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Has Lambert taken a dislike of Denmark? First Helenius and now Okore frozen out! Yeah well we've learnt this week that Helenius had some personal issues behind the scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimzk5 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Brian doogan (head of media) on twitter was asked where okore was and he said he I still well off fitness but will play for u21s in the week 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dodgyknees Posted September 28, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 28, 2014 (edited) We should be happy we don't have to rush him into the team. We are in a good position where have have good numbers for the defence, so we can take our time with Okore. Why bring him back at 60/70% when we can wait till he is 100% ready? It's not like we are being forced to play Herd at the back. And Baker has done well since he came in for Vlaar. No rush...

Paul33 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Okore could be VERY good for us but he was spectacularly unfit pre-season ..... looked like a pub footballer so must have quite a way to go yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingman Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Time to step up lad now big Phils out for 3-4 weeks and no news on Ron either. Clarke and Baker to the rescue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooligan Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Just our bad luck to lose Senderos to injury when he was playing well for us. Fingers crossed that Vlarr is fit enough to return next weekend,the thought of Clark and Baker together scares the hell out of me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
