Hello villa fans couple of question is promotion gone 4 this year also have we bought poor players 2 replace poor players.



17 Oct 2016 00:01:56
Certainly automatic has gone. Only chance now would be the play offs
Before we get ahead of ourselves we still have the small task of ensuring we don't get dragged into a relegation battle.



17 Oct 2016 09:56:53
Agree automatic promotion maybe gone, but i think the players bought this year are better than last years. At the moment they are not playing well as a team. we badly need to strengthen our midfield.



17 Oct 2016 12:04:17
not saying we will do it but we are far from missing out on auto promotion at minute. only takes a few games going our way and a few teams stumblng above us and we can climb up, i get we actually need to start winning first but nnever know.



17 Oct 2016 16:49:43
Agree if we can hit good form, even as late as Jan/ Feb who knows what will happen.



17 Oct 2016 19:14:56
I believe we can still rapidly climb the table as long as Brucey can find a way to fill the void that is our midfield.
Tshibola is young inexperienced and a good prospect.
Jedinaks league career will soon be over if he doesn't quit international football.
Westwood is not good enough and never will be.
Gardener is so far so poor.
Grealish flatters to deceive.
Roll on January. We need 2 TOP Midfielders.



17 Oct 2016 19:40:43
I agree 100 percent Andy.



17 Oct 2016 21:45:43
Just annoys me reading carp on twitter and facebook all these posts moaning about how we are out of it and never getting promoted now.

We have got one of the top three sqauds on paper no reason why we can't win games now and with grealish out for three i say that's straight swap for ayew and for him to show what he can do for the new boss.



16 Oct 2016 16:32:32
While watching the re cording I got the feeling, not for the first time, that our players don't run into space to give the man with the ball a target.
Do they train with Subuteo?
It almost looks as if they have lost the skill to create / find gaps in which they can make the next move. No forward thinking looking for the next move.
Everything is try to keep the ball.



16 Oct 2016 19:04:55
Just watch whenever Micah broke forward with the ball, no one whatsoever showed for him, it was ridiculous.



17 Oct 2016 00:03:55
I noticed how poorly we close down. We can make teams look much better than they are. A worrying quality to possess.



16 Oct 2016 14:07:26
The Team i would pick for Tuesday is Gollini Bacuna Chester Baker Amavi Tshibola Lyden Ayew McCormack Grealish Kodjia.



16 Oct 2016 14:52:23
Good choice, especially Baker in for Elphick who has been very poor lately! Disagree with Amavi though! Perhaps yes pre injury but really comes across as very light weight and really not at the races yet needing more reserve action still!



16 Oct 2016 17:02:19
Amavi gets into team because of injuries to other players.



16 Oct 2016 21:41:00
Is Cissoko injured then?



17 Oct 2016 00:09:41
How is that young left back we bought from West Ham doing?
Borg something or other?
Cissoko looks like someone who was probably good at loads of sports but unfortunately football wasn't one of them
I'm not convinced by the post injury Amavi either.



17 Oct 2016 10:05:09
No cissoko not injured just not that good plus not much choice for that position at the moment.



17 Oct 2016 15:01:22
Borg could tear this division a new 1 if given the chance, only reason UTD didn't keep him was because they couldn't agree a compensation package with West Ham. He's been compared to Bale at that age and looked after right, more than a 50/ 50 shot at being as good as him. I'd throw him in, Lyden too

UTV.



17 Oct 2016 23:02:35
Hard to belove with all those Chinese millions we can't field a decent left back nor centre midfielder in October! Quite shocking when you think and have to blame RDM, apparently his training was poor and too light hence lack of stamina and fitness!



16 Oct 2016 12:29:36
Where's Gary Gardner gone?



16 Oct 2016 11:08:33
Just watched the game back (always record just in case I miss anything at the ground) and with a clear head:
Gollini made a brilliant save to keep it 1-1 but other than that didn't have to do much.

Richards tried hard, got dragged to the ball too much but they only got behind him 3 or 4 times, made some good forward runs but when he did no one showed for him so it ended up wasted, fair play to him think after how many games out that isn't a dreadful performance, should have been better if he got help.
Elphic absolute nightmare, Chester covers for him so it isn't as bad but too many poor performances now.

Cissoko, well he was cissoko.
Tshibola - nothing too bad nothing good enough to get a mention.
Jedinak - people say his carrying an injury I just think his dead and we have a zombie Jedinak, his so poor in possession, passing, winning second balls.
Grealish- wasted out on the left got taken out to often with nothing done by the ref, I guess that's why he lost his head but I couldn't care less as long as he gets away with it. When he moved into the middle for the last 10 we come back into the game and looked dangerous again.

Adomah - same as Tshibola
McCormack - effort was there, passion was there, passing was a bit off once or twice but come the end of the game he was the only one pressing and he was fuming! Mainly with:
Kodja - excellent penalty but after second half they knew he was going to put it on his other foot quickly every time he got the ball and took it off him easily, too gready, look at his shot straight at GOAL McCormack is 6 yards away completely free and would have been one on one. He ran out of steam after 60 minutes and wouldn't press, left McCormack on his own and every ball in the air he wouldn't challenged he'd back into the defender to try and win cheap free kicks, he was useless second half!

Rode our luck big time as we didn't take our chances but good point to start for brucey, hope to see Jedinak and elphic out the teams Tuesday and gustede in for kodja. Grealish has to play through the middle but I can't think of a system to get them all in and have 2 in midfield, hope brucey can. UP THE VILLA!



16 Oct 2016 12:25:55
Gollini
Bacuna elphick baker Amavi
Tish jedinak
Ayew McCormack grealish
Kodjia for me tuesday.



16 Oct 2016 13:20:11
depending on fitness i would rather have hutton RB, baker CB over elphick. but yeah i like that set up.



16 Oct 2016 00:00:46
As plain as the nose on Eds face, Jedinac is struggling, whether it's fitness or just not good enough . Why not give Lyden a shot at it, Younger, Fitter, likes to tackle and on occasions has found the net . The times he's been allowed games before, the kid has never let us down, also the only way he will improve . Just a thought . Onwards &Upwards Villaforever.
