Yeah i said on the other thread that i let pritchard off with dropping deep due to being down to 10 men
we were chasing the game the only time we actually started putting the ball in the box was after we took the striker off. we created nothing for him,
It’s only one game and hopefully we get some more strikers in the next week, I know there are complications like Stewart’s situation, but being brutally honest it’s a joke that we haven’t sorted this before now. It was a number one priority. Even if we sign two overseas lads this week they’ll need time to bed in and it’s too late. Every loss matters when aiming for the top two. Too late. Lots of good but not good enough with strikers is the ongoing situation as it stands.
But spending money doesnt guarantee you that, luton went up last season with hardly spending any money - they signed players that fit a system, like we are trying to do
Mate not sure if it is the drink but thats ridiculous saying the owners lack ambition. Theyve put so much money, time n effort into our club, theyve made us all fall back in love with the club - we lose 1 game n its all 'they lack ambition'.
If villa hadn't got promoted when they did,they would have ended up like Derby in massive debt,point deductions and transfer embargo's. They went up via the playoffs.
Mowbray/The Club have decided Batth is surplus to requirements - Mowbray has alluded to this in his comments.
The 2 examples you gave both had parachute payments so were getting about 40 million a yr extra revenue, we arent!!
Villa were in the championship 3 seasons, this is only our second?
Had this discussion pre-game. Batth will be 33 in a few weeks time. It's just possible the club are looking at his data, looking at his stats from last season and how they wish to progress as a team and thinking he's not in the model. We are a team that plays out from the back and has fast. mobile defenders who can play a number of positions in the same game. Batth is an old fashioned CB, his passing is average and he isn't the quickest. Maybe, it's just a gamble the club are taking to move him on and place their trust in Seelt & Triantis.
If Ba hadn't raced back 60 -70 yards to stall the Ipswich counter, which immediately preceded our goal, we might have been looking at a 3-0 scoreline.
Ok. Point taken. I guess I meant in an attacking sense.
Agree about the subs and Cirkin too although Huggins did have fresh legs.
