More likely since his goal. Confidence is incredibly important.

Ratings & Reactions: Villa v Sheff United

He’s already under pressure after losing two on the bounce. I guess he’s gonna try and deflect that by blaming luck and circumstance. There is no patience in the game any more. If there ever was. -
Ratings & Reactions: Villa v Sheff United
Hobsons Choice replied to limpid's topic in PL: Sheff United h
Today was Sheffield’s 2nd league game, so they were always going to be more match sharp than us. Only a few of our players ran out at Burton, so for most this was their first competitive game of the season. It wasn’t pretty, but we got the job done against a well drilled and capable defence. We’ll certainly improve markedly as the players get more first team minutes, and we add more players in the next few weeks. I’m sorry, but regardless of the manner of victory, I can’t lay into a Villa side that got the 3 points in our first game against seasoned opposition. Don’t we say that getting results when playing badly is a mark of a good side? -

After 1 game we’re 3 points better off than last season. For that reason: -
Even we’ll have not seen up to four of the starting eleven play yet, so not sure that follows after another season of signing a few players.
-
Meh. Started with 3 first teamers. Glad Ollie and Davis scored.
-
We joke about the lack of goals but hopefully that goal will do wonders for Davis.

Nice one Jack

Man this squad needs strengthening. We need at least another striker, DM and winger (even after Traore). Watkins or Grealish gets injured and we’re finished
-
I think with this team we’re basically saying we have no interest whatsoever in progressing in this competition

Been saying it and saying it.

How many first team games has he actually played? I know more about his hair than his playing style.

And most of our best players are either on the bench or in the pub.

I thought he was dead. Or at least living in Eastbourne.

I think what this tells us is that our bench will be quite weak.
-
So did we tell him specifically to never under any circumstances pass the ball forwards, or is that not an issue with bovver boots burnley?
-
His deficiencies that you mention sound coachable, no?
-
I must admit having never seen him play, and based solely on the posts on this forum that I have no idea as to whether we’re signing the best or worst player in the game, but that he must be one or the other. I suspect as you elude to he is most likely neither, and his success will be based on his deployment. As I asked on the Rashica thread, having not seen him either, could someone who has seen him tell us his strengths and weaknesses? I understand that he’s quick, and pace is something we need, but if he’s not going to be the assist merchant we need, why not? Can he not cross, pass, take someone on?
