samo II Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 He can thank us for helping him prepare for a season at this level by shanking one into his own net come their visit to the Gate... Good on him; played well for us during a difficult period. Just hope for Villa's sake he's lost the habit of making at least one borderline red card-worth challenge each game!

Major Isewater Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 A funny one for me is Baker , as Samo said he always seemed likely to get sent off and in one game ,I can't remember which , just before Christmas it looked like he actually wanted to get sent off . That erratic play and his propensity for injury mean that I am happy that we did n't push the boat out to get him here on a permanent. I'm much happier to watch the Iceman Cometh .

David Brent Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 As much as I like Magnusson, there was a bit of me that yesterday half-expected Baker to come and win a ball in the air or go straight through the back of an attacker.. Good luck to him at Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes; would probably be useful if he'd take an early bath as well as scoring an own goal. But watching the Villa match just now I don't think they'll struggle to pick up cards; doesn't look like they know how tackle without taking the man first or leaving their studs in/having a little stamp...

Not impressed with Villa at all; front three worth £25+ million yet they've had about one decent chance between them and it got headed straight at the keeper. Very much long ball and as mentioned, they are pretty dirty, and not even smart with it. They give away a lot of free kicks too; am sure that Tomlin would cause them some problems. Wednesday look much like last season; lots of pressing and very physical, but effective, and you get the impression that they were a little cautious early on, but that has worn off am fancying them for three points here.

Agree about Lescott - he was appalling last season - and if that was him playing for the team he 'supports' well, what a joke! And in the midst of their worst season since the late 80s, he 'accidentally' tweeted a pic of his new, super expensive car...utterly inexcusable...

One game where David James took. a free kick outside the box, right in front of the away fans who were going crazy because he moved the ball in from the touch line about 5 yards, found our right back (Rose?) who got the assist- We won by one goal. A few other less eventful games and then in the relegation season I was at the 4-1 over Palace, 4-2 over Cardiff and 5-3 over Barnsley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
