Austin knee injury apparently

well not really, he would still be left isolated up front on his own like Gabbiadini, Austin and in about 30 mins Long will be.

well said, very well said tbh

i hope that's the case

Long in to run the defenders ragged is a good thing. Playing him as lone striker instead of Gabbiadini is a bloody stupid thing.

cant score, no service, drop best striker.....just peachy

He wont start, instead of giving Gabbi and Long out wide with Austin through the middle or two up front a chance we will trot around with Tadic and Redmond titting about as per usual. Now ive said that Tadic and Redmond will both be superb in an easy 3-1 win ;-)

He flatters to deceive. How many goals has he scored from a free kick ? Not many, if any. He's no Rickie Lambert that's for sure. Everytime I think JWP has cracked it, found a place and looks good it all fades away again and he's back at square one. I'm thinking Matt Oakley and Neil Maddison everytime I watch him.

so would i.......or Stephens if VVD isnt deemed ready.

Certainly not, leave it as it is. For an example of what can happen when people start fiddling take a look at Sheffield Wednesday's relatively new look

yeah but we had a decent U23 side last season and still got relegated

i get your point but you think Jaidi is doing a good job ? You think the goalkeepers look on top of their game and well coached ? You think Black's appalling record at every single club he has coached at is just a coincidence cos there is no sign of it rubbing off here is there ?

Have to agree with the comments regarding Jaidi and Hunter, they do certainly offer the same lame sound bites after the latest defeat. Tonight's comments should be interesting.

It's all very well talking about what VVD isn't doing right but at least he's got an excuse in so much as he hasn't played since January. My concern is this Polish lad we have signed who looks from what I've seen live and in clips to be completely average at best. At worst he's fkin crap.

i would have thought as VVD is playing it may have been a good idea to give Targett, Hjoberg and McQueen a run out as well instead of surrounding him with sub standard kids.

Oh come on, 10 mins into his first match for over 8 months he should be showing no signs of being rusty and should be marking all these Villa kids on his own. FFS based on a three second clip it's been decided he is being half arsed, going through the motions etc etc

yeah that's more like it. Three different managers tried their hardest to make him a regular starter and none of them really went with it and stuck to it.

Booing a performance rather than individuals.....what's wrong with that ? Don't buy this "oh no, you can't boo, it's wrong, you should support the team" is ******** when you have sat through 90 mins - 180 mins if you were at the Wolves game - of the most turgid, clueless load of crap from professional footballers. The booing when MP took off Gabby at 2-0 down instead of giving him help was correct as well. MP got that wrong without question.

this please

Watford totally bossed that game. MP can try and console himself by saying we were better second half but it made no difference. They were miles better. I found it rather strange that MP said on Solent he is here because we didn't score goals under the last manager yet plays exactly the same way with a decent centre forward isolated on his own up front with no service or help whatsoever.

Absolutely spot on. If you could just bring a player on to take free kicks you might consider him. Failing that don't bother.

How about not taking Gabby off and give the poor bugger some help ?

Surely not !

Lets not jump the gun. A picture doesn't always tell the full story.
