Now I'm not too concerned about Bacuna specifically but I'd hate players to start considering our fan base to be full of some of the servile scum that unfortunately frequent our hallowed ground. I imagine that's how the majority of footballers look at their own fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 I don't think he should be booed and it clearly doesn't help. But I can see why Westwood is getting stick at this point. It's not right and it shouldn't happen but with the situation the clubs been in and dropped to I'm not surprised someone like Westwood is getting stick.

Popular Post sexbelowsound Posted October 24, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 24, 2016 Nobody likes being booed or having negative comments made towards them, surely that's common sense? It doesn't help the player or the team. All it does is help the person booing to feel a little bit better about themselves to the detriment of Aston Villa Football Club. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yes I suppose but I wouldn't have thought it was difficult to identify ways in which booing could have an effect on a managers performance.

Let me have them, then Managers simply don't have the same effect on a game as the players do. The can tweak tactics and change the personnel but they cannot control a ball or score a goal etc. etc. Thus, to me anyway, having chants against the manager (which are poor form, still) just don't have the same impact as booing a player.

R.Bear Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I wouldnt boo him. I've said many times that he is the worst player to ever play for this club, he is absolutely useless and should have been released about 3 years ago. His very presence in the first team makes me seethe even to this day. But I wouldnt boo him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.Bear Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Not at all. Players like Ayew annoy me more because he's so inconsistent or Bacuna with his unfounded arrogance. That's worse. Westwood doesnt appear to be an arsehole or anything. He's just shit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisvilla4 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 If Westwood played on Sunday it would make or break him I think. A local derby is not the game to be putting a player low on confidence into IMO Maybe sent on near the end to protect our 3 goal lead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mjvilla Posted October 25, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 25, 2016 Out of all the players that will leave us in the next few months/have left us previously, I really really want Westwood to go on and prove some people wrong! The sick crap, the booing, the horrible shit thrown at him then I hope he shoves it back down some people's throats! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A local derby is not the game to be putting a player low on confidence into IMO I think this makes sense. I don't like entering the 'he's misunderstood' / 'no he's shit' type discussions, but I think the confidence thing is definitely a factor. You don't put a nervy player on the pitch. That goes for the likes of Westwood going through a tough patch or a youngster unused to games of this pressure-cooker nature. What we'll see on Sunday from Bruce will be the strongest side we have - both mentally and skillwise. I don't think Westwood gets near that on current form.
