Aston Villa Banter Archive November 01 2017 to December 01 2017

01 Dec 2017 22:10:58
Good result in the end, snatched their hand off, for that before game . On the first half performance, didn't think we would get anything . They where stronger, faster and wanted it more . Their work rate, closing us down was impressive. What ever Brucie said at half time certainly worked . Much more energy& effort, compleatly different . Poor old Albert never got a kick, Leeds had two on him every opportunity . As has been said Onomah just wasent at the races tonight . Weelen had a great game again and big Samba lasted well . Nice to see Landsbry get his goal . when he was at Forrest his best games where at No 10, perhaps worth a try . At least we showed the fight needed, in the end we deserved it . At least we have over a week to recover, before the next one . Onwards&Upwards Villaforever.

01 Dec 2017 22:23:35
Cant improve on what you already have said davedean in the end we deserved that point second half it was like a different team.

02 Dec 2017 08:06:11
We are showing more bottle than in previous years and 1 point at Leeds is a good point,
Just wish Cardiff would stop winning?
But 20 games in and 36 points is better than I expected so now for millwall,

01 Dec 2017 20:41:45
Onomah just had one of the worst first halves I think I've ever seen a player have, did he complete a pass?

01 Dec 2017 22:11:58
Maybe Lansbury or Grealish will replace him?

02 Dec 2017 09:59:46
Delighted for Lansbury and he looked pretty chuffed too! Agree about how poor JO was and just had one of those bad days at the office. With all our injuries it is great to have options of Supr Jack and Henry! Thought Whelan again silenced the doubters with another solid performance and as already said 1:1 draw is a sound result in the cauldron of Ellen Rd! UTV.

01 Dec 2017 15:22:00
Stop fretting, Mainbob. Leeds ain't that tough.

01 Dec 2017 16:30:02
Not saying the Leeds team at present is tough but the fixture itself,

28 Nov 2017 17:06:44
Any one heard how bad the injury to Jedinak is?

30 Nov 2017 19:45:58
Hi Worcesterboy, it seems nobody has a clue as to what sort of injury the Jedi has, so I have had a scout around and found this article.

I hope it helps, read on mate.

Jedinak's club side Aston Villa revealed the midfielder is suffering from a shoulder knock which is expected to sideline him for at least six weeks.

The injury is unrelated to the groin complaint from which he triumphantly returned in the intercontinental play-off victory against Honduras.

Jedinak hurt his shoulder early in Villa's win over Ipswich last weekend and, after consulting a specialist, was informed he may require an operation.

Hes been advised to rest and see how it is in the next week to see if it starts to heal itself. Villa boss Steve Bruce told the club's official website.

If it does, we can let nature takes its course and it could be six weeks then.

If it doesn't, then there will be an operation which will probably take the best part of 12 weeks.

30 Nov 2017 20:34:30
Thank you Dave

Goes from bad to worse doesn't it!

30 Nov 2017 21:35:29
Do do doooo, let's all do The Samba. 🕺🏼

UTV.

30 Nov 2017 22:19:02
Your welcome worcesterboy.

26 Nov 2017 09:54:43
Comfortable is probably the best way to describe the game yesterday, had a few more good chances to score but the result never looked in danger - good to see, 9 points in a week is exactly what we need. If Cardiff lose or draw today then we are max 3 points of second. We have been on an unbelievable run but I think our next 7 games which include Leeds, Derby, Sheff United, Middlesbrough and Brentford will decide whether we will be top two or play offs, And with 1 fit striker it could be a struggle. The amount of injuries we have and have had so far this season is unbelievable but also shows the depth of the squad, if Wolves lost Jota, Bonatini, Caveleiro, Neves and Boly or Bath at the back would they be sweeping teams aside still? No they'd have the same team that finished 15th last year, whereas we have had injuries to key players from last year like Kodjia and Jedinak, injuries to players who looked to be key to Brucies plans like Grealish, players who had come in and made us a real unit like Terry and then our second options are getting freak injuries like Hogan and Lansbury, and yet we've still ploughed on through. Hopefully the injuries stop and other teams start picking them up as the schedule gets crammed up.

26 Nov 2017 12:49:01
Couldnt agree more chris, everything you said is on the money. I fear for us over the next few games with the teams we are going to be up against. The injury situation is appalling to have even one key player out injured is bad enough. Hopefully the fans will realise this if results don't go our way. i'm hoping they do but you have to be realistic.

26 Nov 2017 15:36:08
On the button Chris,
It's going to really test our squad now,
Next 6 games will tell us with out destination for the season,
We have done great up to now but these injuries are really putting our quest for promotion into question,
There must be a load of black cats roaming around villa park?

25 Nov 2017 17:06:40
The Jedi off crocked again
Any one any idea what he's done?

25 Nov 2017 21:30:16
Apparently possible problem with Clavicle according to SB post match. No details of seriousness as yet worst scenario being a fracture. Thought Samba did a great job when came on but Jedi will be a loss with doubts whether Samba can play 2 -3 times a week and 90mins every game!?

26 Nov 2017 09:40:24
Who did we "p***" off to have this much bad luck injury wise?

23 Nov 2017 22:03:06
Ross McCormack has been suspended by Melbourne for turning up late for training.

24 Nov 2017 00:00:58
Really is a waste of what little talent he had. Needs to find a new trade I think!

23 Nov 2017 16:03:16
Good to see the Noses keeping up their tradition - top of the table in top 5 divisions for arrests.

22 Nov 2017 12:10:05
Happy with 3 points last night, why Bjarnason instead of O Hare. what does Bjarnason do? What is his position? I know O Hare is young but so is Davis. He brings energy, creativity, and has a goal threat. If he is not treated fairly he will be off to pastures.

22 Nov 2017 10:41:56
Just a thought
Did any fans hear the wm phone in last night?
Did you hear a wolves fan say when they get in premiership next year there is a good possibility that wolves could win the title as Well?
Could this guy be the same as you know who on our blog!

22 Nov 2017 11:24:01
Was talking to a foolverhampton blunderers fan and he told me it was a dead cert they had a deal in place for torres from atletico and that 2 or 3 brazilians wanted to go to them as well because of their new found 'total' football system, if nothing else it made me laugh, i suppose it would be rude to burst his bubble with that little thing called reality, so i say crack on foolves fans, its nice to dream, you never know, walt disney might make a film called 'land of make believe'about it!

22 Nov 2017 11:52:27
Chris.
Walk before you can run comes to mind with these wolves fans,
There is still over half the season to go but for them it's all over bar the shouting.

22 Nov 2017 00:17:13
We where saying tonight, the Middlesbrough fans, must be looking at Traore &Rudy and wondering why they let Albert go . We know who got the best of that deal .

21 Nov 2017 21:41:16
Wow what a close game apart from a lucky deflection nothing to choose between the two teams, just shows how far we have come with Bruce.

21 Nov 2017 21:52:24
So was that a dig about Brucie?

21 Nov 2017 22:02:12
Sounds very much like it to me ken.

21 Nov 2017 22:08:15
What a clown. So good to have the positive poster again!

21 Nov 2017 22:13:54
I was wondering because

Maybe he meant we’re hard to beat! But then again he was probably being cynical

I’m not the biggest Bruce fan but I support the club

Surely it’s about winning no matter how we play?

We win and still people moan . Jesus give your head a wobble

Sunderland have injuries galore but also have a new manager so it was always going to be a hard game.

21 Nov 2017 23:32:24
Other than the deflected effort not much between the two teams? Did we win one nil, must have dreamt Alberta goal my bad.

22 Nov 2017 08:50:46
Whatever performance we gave the most important thing is we won and another 3 points in the bag,
Yes we passed the ball very poorly and the tempo was missing but hoping we are at full pelt for Ipswich,
Up the villa!

21 Nov 2017 15:17:51
Lads, what do we need in January?

Judging by comments made by Bruce it doesn't appear we have much to spend - That being said, where do you think we need to strengthen?

I think a striker is a must - I know he has been absolutely abysmal for a long time now, and yes there is the West Brom link, but would any of you consider a loan move for Saido Berahino?

21 Nov 2017 16:10:26
Saido leave well alone for me,
Why
Would like this hugel from Preston but we can't spend much money unless Bruce gets rid of players.

21 Nov 2017 16:58:45
Ulloa doesn’t even make the match day squad at Leicester, got to be worth a bid with 1 fit striker. Terry should be back around then so no need for a centre half. I think we have a very good settled squad, only place that jumps out is striker because of injuries and then a back up left back. Could just see who becomes available, the way the Snodgrass deal happened.

21 Nov 2017 19:12:37
Following on from above, who will be moving out?

20 Nov 2017 14:40:30
We face a real banana skin tomorrow if we are not careful
We should win comfortably but we are talking about aston villa here!
We played very well against QPR but we always seem to go flat the next game,
But with Colman coming in it could go against us,
But having said all that I'm still seeing a 2-0 win,
Davis to get a brace,

20 Nov 2017 15:45:46
Bob i agree, new manaver and all that you never know . But i reckon if we stick to same system, with that extra man in midfield, we will beat most teams in this league . We still have a goal threat, but we look so much stronger . Also we have plenty of players who would fit in . Jack, O Hare the Jedi even Landsbury, what we do need is somebody, who could do a job like wood or Bannan, someone to play everything through, somebody to keep us moving forwards Untill we find that nugget, I think the extra midfielder we do us well . Bring on Sunderland Onwards& Upwards Villaforever.

20 Nov 2017 21:37:48
Davis is quality, hold up play, running off the ball, dribbling. However so far his finishing tells me he couldn’t score in a brothel, the way he plays tho that doesn’t matter at the minute, plenty of time for goals to come.

21 Nov 2017 08:12:54
Chris when Davis gets his scoring boots on he will be one he'll of a player,
He has everything a centre forward needs except scoring the goals to go with his exceptional hold up play,

21 Nov 2017 13:26:07
There aren’t many strikers who move up from the youth team and stay in the first team who aren’t scoring atleast a goal every other game. I think that says a lot about what Davis bring to the team, he makes up for the lack of goals with everything else.

20 Nov 2017 10:11:21
{Ed's Note - we have posted a new article entitled, Legends of Football Number 3: Pele

20 Nov 2017 00:58:39
I reckon we should play same team, same system on Tuesday . I don't know how you see it, but i reckon that system, suits us better, with that extra man in midfield . Obviously the players can be changed, but keep that extra man . Would love to see O Hare given a chance, maybe on thr right . With a strong bench to back it up, it could be affective . Certaily make us harder to break down, Roll on Tuesday Onwards&Upwards Villaforever.

18 Nov 2017 17:43:15
Excellent result today, feet on the ground time.
Need to push it home against Sunderland.
We must stay in the top six now and keep the pressure on.

18 Nov 2017 17:02:18
Fantastic result and coming from behind all the more impressive
Special praise for Davis who was outstanding and a real centre forward performance,
All that was missing a goal,
Great result now don't spoil it by dropping points against Sunderland.

17 Nov 2017 19:14:54
The way we have been easing, Kodjia back in over the last few weeks . I just can't believe he's been allowed on International duty, only to get injured again . We certainly have upset the injury gods this season, the problem is, it's our top players . With Koj and Hogan out, it certainly opens the door for players like O Hare . As the saying goes, every cloud and all that Be a hard game against QPR tomorrow, but keep the faith . Onwards&Upwards Villaforever.

18 Nov 2017 00:22:36
Wasn’t allowed to leave, club had no choice.

18 Nov 2017 00:58:38
Chris with him not long back from injury, I thought a bit more thought might of gone in to it on his national teams side of it .

17 Nov 2017 10:14:43
Right everybody what's your team for Qpr then who plays cbk for JT? And what's your prediction?

17 Nov 2017 23:39:48
Qpr 0 vs 2 Villa, i hope.

16 Nov 2017 13:31:44
Good to see davis signs no contract futures good for villa with our young lions.

15 Nov 2017 11:53:55
Well done captain fantastic jedi
We want you playing in place of Terry,
Please come back without injury this time,

15 Nov 2017 06:04:07
Just a thought, i seem to remember sunderland took an interest in signing micah richards last season on loan, but we declined!, so i was thinking how about offering him to them and see if we could maybe take aiden mcgeady from them, i don't think he wants to hang around now that grayson has been binned, and mcgeady has an eye for goal and a good pass to unlock defences, most likely won't happen, but you don't ask, you'll never know!

14 Nov 2017 10:51:11
We don't care about FFP.
We're Wolverhampton,
We'll buy who we want.

14 Nov 2017 11:14:09
Obsessed with Villa we know what you are! I don't even think you are a Wolves Fan.

14 Nov 2017 13:16:18
You’ll buy mercenaries, or has beans! As let’s be honest. who would want to live in that siht whole? Listening to ‘yam yam yam? . ’.

14 Nov 2017 14:37:51
Is that yam yam still preaching garbage!
Told you all villa fans nobody wants to listen to him on there sites so he tries to convert us all 🤣🤣
Just ignore him and he might just take the hint nobody likes him!

14 Nov 2017 14:57:49
Deary me. sounds more like kids arguing over who`s dad is the biggest.
If this continues the site will suffer.

14 Nov 2017 16:49:12
Wolves will not go up they will fail like they always do, support a proper team like Aston Villa.

14 Nov 2017 18:59:10
Again, sorry Dave. ☹️.

14 Nov 2017 20:27:51
Don't you mean 'loan who we want? ' because within the rules of FFP you can't spend £200M unless you generate £200M from attendances, sponsorship etc. don't think your brethrens giros are going to stretch to more than 2 games per season, and I don't think Dettol will spronsor you, even though our fans are still having to bathe in the stuff after we last visited that dump, and their share price has sky rocketed since?

Growing up my young brother had no friends of his own, so he constantly hung with me, and my friends, the big boys, funny how you remind me of him.

Ouch! -like a surgeon-that was top draw Flackie!

07 Nov 2017 23:35:19
Just wondering top of the league is it just Villa you are obsessed with or are you on everybodys rumours and banter page? You are top welldone and I mean that but coming on our page makes you look small because I know your not on everybodys page so why don't you just enjoy your own clubs success. A little tip for you mate successful people do not worry about what other people are doing!

08 Nov 2017 05:38:29
Thinking about it, that was technically a knockout right there! -BOOM-medic for top of the league please, anyone got any smelling salts!

06 Nov 2017 14:27:10
Aston Villa will face Queens Park Rangers, Sunderland and Ipswich in the next Three matches.

If Bruce's tactics are improved, then it should be easy 9 points.

06 Nov 2017 15:26:13
QPR are no push overs at home,
Beating wolves and sheff utd proves that!

06 Nov 2017 15:45:12
Careful what you say Hnchmchl85, no such thing as easy points.
We are not consistent or good enough to be certain of any points at the moment.
Hope we do get the nine points, would be great "But"?

06 Nov 2017 23:25:26
QPR as already stated can beat anyone on their day at their home ground. Ipswich are also capable of grinding out results taking nothing for granted as last Saturday proved! We were brilliant against PNE but now have a nervous watch and wait to see how JT gap is plugged?! Jedinak, Samba, once upon a time was Super Tommy Elphick?!

07 Nov 2017 10:39:07
I disagree. We should win against them easily.

07 Nov 2017 11:07:28
There are no Easy games in championship,
Did we not really struggle to beat Bolton at home?
Taking nothing for granted against any team,

06 Nov 2017 13:21:27
It was not that to long ago most pundits were saying Leeds were the bees knees in this division and looked certain for top 2?
Since then 6 defeats from last 7 games,
This division is unrelenting,
Anybody can beat any body!

05 Nov 2017 14:15:01
Our old player vertout scores a great goal against Roma,
Another player who was never really appreciated at villa,

05 Nov 2017 19:14:25
We have glenn Whelen now lol.

06 Nov 2017 00:17:23
Vertout was another player where the manager thought, it dosent matter that playing at No 10 he had been involved with % 46 of all goals scored. They played him in and out of the team, in any position other than the one he wanted . Then it was a case of, sorry you don't fit in . How many times do not just Villa, but managers consistently play people other than where they are good at . I honestly believe Vertout would have been a brilliant asset for us, if played in his right position . he's gone elsewhere and proved it .

07 Nov 2017 01:53:18
So many players have been played out of position, Scott Sinclair never had a chance. When played in the right place there was no one to pass the ball.

Now he is playing with a smile and bagging goals.
Before the usual snipers tell me that he is playing north of the border, remember he is also playing against some odd European teams.

04 Nov 2017 23:34:26
Like its been said on here already, today was a blip, but loosing terry is the sickener, but turn that frown upside down, next man up, and who better to get the defence firing on all cylinders than john terry coaching them, as the saying goes 'if you get lemons, then make lemonade', its not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog, so let's move on and crack on, you never know, bruce might put lansbury in defence as a stroke of genius! (i know, i know) COME ON, UP THE VILLA!

05 Nov 2017 08:28:33
Losing the game happens and we just move on to next game
The worst news is losing our captain and leader on field,
He was not the quickest defender at club but the thought of samba replacing him is very worrying for villa,
Would rather Jedi played there but we will see what happens next game,
On the game we were poor,
We were slow in build up play and never looked like scoring,
To many long hoof balls from deep,

05 Nov 2017 09:43:32
Was a terrible match, and terry is the icing on the cake.
We never recovered from that goal in the first minute.
But can I just say, what a goal!
That is as good a goal as I have seen at vp.

05 Nov 2017 10:57:36
Agree about the goal fantastic strike,

05 Nov 2017 18:23:27
Time for Samba to step up and become a cult hero, could go either way?

UTV.

04 Nov 2017 19:48:25
If true bout terrys injury then i think were going to struggle at bck because sambas 💩 an elphick, it makes the decision to sell baker luck stupid now or less we play jedi at bck with chester ge played there last season or play bree with chester an jedi playing in front as the protector.

04 Nov 2017 16:03:41
It's not a nice thing to see us being 2-0 down, a positive in my eyes is the frustration snodgrass showed at being subbed! It just shows he cares and wants to be in the pitch to try and help, every cloud has a silver lining and all that.

04 Nov 2017 17:07:41
Well that burst the bubble, sucker punched in the first 20 seconds. snoddy not at all happy. The worrying thing is the injuries that we are picking up. Hopefully jt is not to badly spangled. pity we couln, t break through earlier the goal came far to late to pinch a draw. oh well on to the next one.

04 Nov 2017 17:33:40
Very disappointed with that display,
After the best display on Wednesday to back to hoof ball with no tempo at all,
Can not find any positives,
Losing Terry with a possible bad injury is another worry,
It we are now to rely on samba God help us,
Only plus point we are still in top 6 but there are loads of teams now bunched up behind us,

04 Nov 2017 14:10:59
Bookies not taking bets on championship winners, just on how many points it's going to be won by.

04 Nov 2017 15:01:22
You must be a masochist. Hope you enjoy the abuse.

04 Nov 2017 20:44:36
T o t l are you related to Walkies, he's calmed down a it now, but he used to be obnoxious like you .

03 Nov 2017 19:56:16
Makes me laugh a wolves fan trying to look for reactions of all our villa fans on hear, how sad aswell to call your self top of the league ha ha 😂😂😂.

04 Nov 2017 08:44:15
The guys a joke mate we will always be king of the midlands.

04 Nov 2017 12:58:09
Easily mate, the wolves banter site must be quiet ha ha.

03 Nov 2017 19:05:04
Wolf in Peace
Not sure about you lot but I've got a feelin we are both going to storm the automatic places 👌.

03 Nov 2017 19:23:32
I hope so mate!
In either position will do me!

03 Nov 2017 23:53:31
What will that be like to both go up and see Sandwell Town drop down into championship!? Would like to see all West Midlands clubs except Small Heath in Prem but 2yrs of working in Black Country surrounded by gloating STFC followers has been painful!

04 Nov 2017 10:31:01
If I'm correct you can get 8/ 1 for villa and wolves to fill top 2 places in either order,

04 Nov 2017 10:33:29
Would love to see villa go up and pulis and the baggies going the other way?
Pulis always likes to give cheap shots at the villa and the look on his face would be priceless to see if he gets relegated for the first time.

03 Nov 2017 08:43:21
Well what's the score tomorrow?
We must play the same team that's a no brainer,
But Bruce needs to get more attacking options on bench,
O'hare must get a seat,
Lydon deserves a seat some time soon,
Grealish should be on there as well,
My prediction is a 1-0 win.

03 Nov 2017 10:15:02
Snodgrass is a doubt for tomorrow - rib injury

O'Hare in his place?

03 Nov 2017 11:21:44
If Snodgrass is a doubt then o'hare would be My choice but got a feeling Bruce would put in grealish,
O'hare must be thinking he deserves a chance with him playing well for the under 23s,

03 Nov 2017 12:04:42
I believe it will be a 3-0 victory for Aston Villa tomorrow.

02 Nov 2017 20:08:07
Any1 that thinks bruce should be sacked if we go up are idiots he deserves the right to build a team to keep us in the prem but that's a long way off .

02 Nov 2017 13:22:12
Just been reading back on some of posts and I'm shocked, walkies and Co want Bruce sacked even if we go up to the prem, why would he get sacked he has built a decent squad over 2 windows spent very little in the summer, these are the people that wanted hutton, Whelan, terry, out of the team and now claiming that they knew they Bruce was right in having them in the squad the tearm Sing when your winning springs to mind with you walkies, I would love to know how many has left this site because of the likes of the dribble that you post walkies if people could block your posts the fans with something interesting and logic to say just might come back Rant Over.

02 Nov 2017 15:16:23
Spot on.

02 Nov 2017 18:44:18
Credit to Bruce and the boys for last night's performance best for sometime. So we have seen two performances over the last four days, which is to be, tactical inept long ball game from Sunday, or free flowing sharp passing from last night. We have the highest salary bill in the championship, we deserve what was served up last night, unfortunately we have had far more Sunday performances than the latter. So let's judge Bruce after more consistent performances, we obviously have the players so it is the coaching that is questionable, for me the Jury is still out and I hope to be proved wrong, however I think WTW will be proved correct.

02 Nov 2017 21:48:14
You don’t get free flowing sharp passing in the second city derby. Don’t understand how you can be so negative after the recent run of form.

03 Nov 2017 11:36:32
Call me Zippy.

03 Nov 2017 13:13:02
Good post villatrust, you articulate what a lot of us are thinking. There is still an underlying wave of critisism against the Bruce totally unfounded and the negativety still exists even with the run of results we have had. But hey ho mate most of us can see the real deal. Heres hoping we get another win in the bag tomorrow. VILLA FOREVER.

At last a convincing and dominating performance against one of the fancied teams away from home! Villa defence was superb tonight and Davis ran an impressive line. Pressure was on tonight with slipping out of the top six and this group of players all stepped up! Looks really promising in that we can not only keep a clean sheet but also on the break do some damage! Next test bring on the Owls UTV.

Have to say Hutton looks a better l/ back than his usual right back position,
One thing you can't say about him is that works harder than most on pitch,

02 Nov 2017 11:21:53
Have to say villa look so much better with Davis up top,
I prefer him over kodija mainly down to his holdup play and bringing others into game,
Very impressed with him and I just hope he stays with us for years to come,
He looks class.

Just needs to watch his temper was lucky not to walk. Good to see Bruce talk to him when he was subbed. Good man management. Agree with Hutton the Scottish Roberto Carlos now. Everyone played well last night, Whelan settling into his role now and with the defence holding strong onwards and upwards utv.

02 Nov 2017 14:21:33
Yes Davis has a temper but not a bad thing for me,
Much prefer that than a player who shows no emotions at all!

01 Nov 2017 20:23:49
Watching the game davis is so good going to be a star in 5 years his hold up play is class plus he has pace and an eye for goal aswell for me he is more important than kodja.

01 Nov 2017 18:49:48
Bruce beggars belief sometimes, team his picked should be capable of winning the game comfortably but bench is so defensive. He has an excuse as to why O'hare, grealish aren't on the bench as the played less than 48 hours ago, however if they aren't involved the weekend his losing it.

01 Nov 2017 19:23:45
He won't play the young players,

01 Nov 2017 19:32:05
Davis is playing, O’Hare has played the way you’d expect a youth player breaking through to, Green has played. If the youth game had been a day earlier I’d expect O’Hare to be on the bench, should be there on Saturday.

Does anyone know why Sky keep showing mid-table teams and not top of the league teams?

01 Nov 2017 15:13:05
Viewing figures drop when they put on the teams at the top, no ones heard of them.

02 Nov 2017 07:00:32
Yes because bigger clubs have a bigger fan Base and are more desirable to watch than some small team who are wannabes and will end up like how can I put this? like a pair of whores knickers #ASOTOGAB.

01 Nov 2017 07:44:36
With the results last night we must win tonight to keep on there shirt tails,
What makes me mad is Bruce saying davis needs more rest otherwise he will burn himself out?
What is this manager on about!
I played 3 games a week many years ago when I was in my early teens and I loved it,
Was Michel Owen, Rooney, Giggs dropped because They were to young?
Losing form I can understand but Davis and o'hare are a better option than the players in front of them now,
Davis makes a difference with his hold up play and that astute pass to his partner up top.
O'hare is a real busy body with endless energy and has a killer pass and a goal threat,
Even Bruce came out and said as much,
So why are being protected so much,
If you are good enough you are old enough simply!
Yes it's a step up in class but these 2 have shown they are good enough,
Bruce does like his trusted experienced players even though they are not pulling up many tree's,
So Bruce show some adventure and give these young players a chance to put down a marker.

01 Nov 2017 08:22:16
last time we played 3 games in a week Onomah, Green and Davis all got injured.

01 Nov 2017 08:55:24
Chris

I was saying that I used to play 3 games a week.
I'm not expecting our young players to do the same just 1 game a week would satisfy me,
Bruce is not a young player type of manager,
He likes the experienced ones most of time,
Sick of his excuses when leaving these players out when they are playing well,
This burn out of young players is totally untrue,
How long do we have to wait before giving them a proper chance?

01 Nov 2017 09:45:09
Giving them a proper chance, Davis has played more than Kodjia and Hogan this season.

01 Nov 2017 09:48:49
If we approach the game tonight as we did against the blue noses then I fear we could lose this game,
If we go for it with more intent to win the game I think we will win,
They have defensive worries but they are a decent side with plenty of height,
Last year they beat us easily and we must improve on that display,
So come on brucie take of the shackles and take um to the cleaners,

01 Nov 2017 10:33:41
Davis has played more than kodija granted,
Don't forget kodija is getting over a bad injury,
What about o'hare he has played 45 mins total premiership football,
Lyndon has been great in under 23s has he been given a chance even not on the bench,
Hayes could be used more from the bench,
We have some decent young players and some deserve a chance to show what they can do on a bigger stage.

01 Nov 2017 14:43:18
Bob I have played three games of a weekend back in the 70s, Coronation, Festival and South Birmingham leagues, so I know where you are coming from.
I agree with you 100% mate.

01 Nov 2017 15:22:04
Villadave

These kids don't need to be protected,
All they want to do is play,
Sick to death of manager's saying because of there age they need looking after more,

01 Nov 2017 17:29:50
Yep agree again Bob.
Got slated on here in the past for putting a case forward for kids to be played.
O`Hare, McKirdy, lyden, if not playing, should be on the bench most weeks.
These three lads could be top drawer if given the chance and regular playing time.

02 Nov 2017 07:01:30
Not being funny but there's a difference between them leagues than Championship.
