Elmo on the wing in front of Hutton I think. They'll be tripping over each other at the oppositions corner flag.Sandie wrote:Might we see Elmo on the wing rather than right back? Glenn Whelan also in today, am I being unfair in finding that very underwhelming?
Whelan will add grit, but he isn't one for the future. In fact not one of our four signings will have any sell on financial value whatsoever. Other teams are buying and improving younger players and will try to capitalise on it. We are desperately trying to give away our most talented young footballers, so that we can play with Dad's Army in claret and blue.
I've just seen your latest post Sandie .... make that 5 players with no sell on value (although Samba does come free) and he will fit in nicely with the Warmington on sea platoon of the Villa home guard under Captain Bruce.

A player we never really got much of a chance to see.

O'Hare, Doyle Hayes, Davis, Hepburn Murphy, Mitchell Clark all looked good tonight evidently, but what's the betting that our fear of youth, and our current penchant for old heads and even older legs will block the development of some very promising players yet again?

Doesn't seem much like a Grealish replacement but more like the type of player I thought we were getting when Lansbury signed. He looks strong with a decent burst of pace and a good eye for a pass.

I think it's becoming clear that Round and Wyness bought Hourihane. It seems that Bruce doesn't have any use for Hourihane's style of football, which is disappointing.Sandie wrote:Can see him getting moved on before the end of the month. Why on earth did Bruce sign him when it's so obvious he doesn't fit Bruce's tactics?
Wyness indicated that he knew we had to play "attractive attacking football" in order to score the 80 plus goals that we need to get promoted this season. Dr. Tony tweeted after the match that there was something worrying that he though we had sorted, which re appeared yesterday and needs dealing with. Does that mean that Bruce is at odds with the owner and senior management over our negative playing style, or are we talking about the players not taking chances?

I actually saw Bruce push Bacuna back along side Whelan at the half hour mark. His vocals were impressive and his gestures were unmistakeable.Jim Villan wrote:I don't think it is the playing style that DR T was referring to, as he confirmed in a separate tweet that he was adamant that tactically we hadn't tried to intentionally defend a 1-0 lead. I think he is referring to the lack of mental toughness, clearly being the better side but not being mentally strong enough to go on to win games in a comfortable manner. Included in that is being able to convert chances when he says they felt like they addressed the issues, he would be referring to the fact that bringing players such as Terry and Whelan they would have brought much more focus to the group so that they shouldn't have long periods where they effectively stop playing. Between 35 and 69 mins, we didn't have a single shot on target. How can that be when we had dominated so much in the first half? He would have felt like I would, that with Terry in the side that Terry's influence would guard against us not caving in once a team has a few attacks against us.
I believe that he allowed the players to keep pressing after the first goal, but when we hadn't added to our lead by thirty minutes he started to look really agitated and reverted "to "what we have we hold" mode. It kills us every time, but Bruce doesn't seem able to help himself. What is worse is that after the match he acts as if it's the player's collective decision to drop deep and try and see the game out, and nothing to do with him!
