I went to the game today and i just want to say how well I think gabby played today. I know he hasn't scored in a while but today he looked as fit as ever and the first goal would of been his if adomah didn't nick it off the line. It looks like he he has worked hard to get back into shape and Bruce has really motivated him. He looked sharp today. We definitely need another striker but gabby could still play a big part.

I agree welldone gabby never thought he would be main man at Villa again.



22 Jan 2017 15:57:54
Gabby? Seriously lads, the way I read about his performance is that he was poor and that he was nowhere near his glory days. I for one is fed up, and wouldn't give him one more chance.



23 Jan 2017 10:07:47
There's your answer "read" I was there, he was man of the match, if he had someone up there closer to him we would have caused more damage.



23 Jan 2017 21:23:50
Nonsense. How can Gabby be man of the match, and not Adomah? Yes, I haven't seen the match, but I've read about it and I've seen the highlights. I know Gabby well enough, he was poor.

The big positive today was Lansbury display. Exactly what we need in the middle of the park and its great to see someone who can actually take a set piece. Bargain for 3 million.



22 Jan 2017 05:06:33
He will only get better too considering he had been out with an injury for a over a month and only trained once. he will only get better too.

Not for the first time a game of 2 halves. More positives than negatives but the best moment by far was the 72nd minute.
Perfect tribute to one of our best and most loved managers of my generation. Credit to all of us who were there today and took part in the celebration of GT.
Proud to be an Holtender in the sky.

Firstly Landsbury showed us what's been missing, drive, effort and ability . Gabby certainly can't be accused of not putting effort in today, still sadly lacking ability . Hutton was another playing, first half like a man possessed . Jack has to start manning up, his choice of pass is hopeless . He offered next to nothing once again . Amavie was full of mistakes once again, his passing was useless . First half some of the best football we have played for ages, we should have gone on to win it . Brucie was saying about McCormack, not fit and missing training on various occasions . Who do these players think they are? I wonder how long before a club actually sue one of them for breech of contract . If Brucie has known about McCormack for some time, it makes it even stranger to sell Rudy . Get these other players in and with players like Green to add we should see a big change . Onwards&Upwards Villa forever

So we pay 14 million for Ross McCormack and then loan him back to fulham? So let me get this straight they get 14 million our money plus they get there striker back. Tony Xia how did you ever become a billonare



21 Jan 2017 19:44:13
We should tell Fulham you can have him on loan but only if we can have cairney as part of the deal.



21 Jan 2017 23:18:59
If it's true he's off to Fulham, Smudge is spot on

UTV



22 Jan 2017 00:32:43
I'd agree with Smudge . Can't agree with Walkthewalk though.
I heard not one dissenting voice when McCormack was signed
Also, we do not know how much truth there is in such a story
I dunno, who'd be a chairman of this club. They get slagged off if they don't spend money and they get slagged off if they do spend money

Gabby ran his socks off and occupied two centre backs well (fair play but minimum expected), Grealish lacks a killer instinct; 3v2 and he picks out one of their two, Green missed a sitter early but managed to forget and did well for 60/ 70 minutes but wasn't great last 20.

Lansbury looks the part; every pass in his locker, doesn't give up and makes much needed forward runs. Amavi brilliant 60 minutes dreadful last 30, Hutton quality as for Westwood, their first goal came from us having the ball in their box, deflects to the edge, he stood dead still shaking his legs 2 yards from the ball, their man made up 7 yards in that time broke and they scored, this has to be the last straw for him he's a passenger!

We saw what happens when you try and sit back and counter for 45 minutes today, whether that happened naturally because we had a 2 goal cushion or because Bruce told them to, who knows, either way it was a dreadful decision and we got what we deserved for it.



21 Jan 2017 17:34:30
How the hell did we throw that away? This season is over now. No chance of promotion. Got to buy a forward and a midfield player just to keep us mid table.
The re-build must take place in the summer although I worry about another summer of change. Dr Xia must be wondering what he's taken on.
McCormack hasn't been the player we hoped for and it looks like he's off. Must not be let go until we've got a replacement lined up to be signed within 24 hours of him leaving.
Bruce said he wasn't looking to bring a forward in as we've got 6 at the club. How many have we got now?



21 Jan 2017 15:34:53
I'm predicting 2-1 Villa today. Preston are a decent side, but since we are the only side still unbeaten at home in the Championship, we should shade it. Anybody know if Lansbury is going to start?



21 Jan 2017 17:19:41
The 2 Barnsley players who everybody says are coming to us are both starting intonight's match against Leeds?



22 Jan 2017 13:07:14
So they should. Barnsley are still paying their wages
Milner played and scored in the game before his much publicised move to Man city



21 Jan 2017 12:53:34
Aston Villa 1 vs 0 preston.
