Why on earth add to the pressure on Jack by making him captain ?
My only answer is that it’s to let him lead out his club a few times before he leaves in the summer.

I think it’s a master stroke , to try and get him some protection from the referee .
Good plan for me
-
Where’s Toronto Villain ?
It’s been a long time since I had to start the match thread
-
Best side on paper we have picked for some time. 2-0, long overdue win.
-
someone on one of the Villa Facebook sites said yesterday that Jack was starting as Captain
I just put it down to FB blush it's but hey he was right
-
Disappointed Ramsey hasn’t made the bench.
Good to see Jack back. Hoping he lifts the entire team and the extra space the other players are given can be exploited.
-
Good to see Jack start and like the fact he's captain. Back to 4-3-3 it seems today, which I suppose suits a team with Grealish in better then 4-4-2. We really need Adomah and El Ghazi to start being a lot more consistent. Still, win today, then next week we'll hopefully have McGinn back in the same side with Grealish.

It sounds like you are reading way too much into a fairly obvious decision. No Hutton, no Chester = Grealish captain.

Sorry chaps. Just waking up after getting in at 3am. And frankly a change is good. My recent record is appalling.
I think it’s great he’s captain. It’s not pressure. It’s an honour and he’ll love it.
-
If we win today T.V, i'll put forward the notion for you to be banned from starting match threads.
-
I'm also happy Jacks Captain
that's probably the first out of the box brave thing Smiths done since he's been here
I'd like to see him taking more chances and doing unpredictable things
-
If we win today T.V, i'll put forward the notion for you to be banned from starting match threads.
I’ll second that motion
Off course it would be just like Mr Sox to come in like some glory hunting bastard and do the match thread when we win.
“Where were you when we were shit?”
-
El Gazhi needs to raise his game, today, probably our most gifted player after Jack, but apart from the 2nd half last week, has been well below par since mid December.
-
Anyone know of any streams for this?

Playing for a contract though at this time of the year, either with us or elsewhere. Wouldnt be surprised to see him go well today.

Well TV’s performance for the last 3 months has been abysmal so welcome back😊

He's a talented player but strikes me as somewhat lazy.

I'm working on it but it's not looking good so far.

I will be following you boys and girls whilst keeping any eye on cricket. I do not want to hear words like

There you go
I knew it
It was coming

You missed out ' worst team I've seen in years 'from the Match thread Bingo Olaf.
-
I can offer everyone a lovely stable stream of Hull v SHA. *hides*
-
Ooooh. Close by Conor. Should have scored
-
Oooooh!
-
Hourihane should probably have scored there. Great move.
-
That’s good play from Hause there. Conor powderpuff
-
Scott Carson doing what he's best at.
Dropping the ball.
-
Ooooh again.
Two great balls from Hause.
-
Whisper it but Hause looks excellent
-
This is better tho
-
Best 5 minutes in about 3 months so far.
-
Fuck me Albert, do better. Some lovely football so far
-
YESSSSSSS
-
Get innnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!
-
Hourihane scores. Made my great vision from Jack
-
Conor!!!!! But what a lovely pass from Jack to Tammy!!!!
-
Jack is back! Class
-
Booooo!
No stream
-
get in!!!
-
That ball from Jack though.......
-
Bloody love Hourihane.... Cracking player!
-
What a fucking difference Jack has made. Even before the goal. We play so much higher up and are so much more balanced.
-
Right, let's bury them.
-
We need to win this and then get SJM back next week and really go for it until the end for the season.
-
Win Villa.
-
It was a good decision to make Jack Captain. Rather that than my second choice which would have been Mings as it would probably have raised his price tag. Much better idea to have someone who is contracted to the club and understand how important it is to wear that armband. Good start Villa.
-
Albert looks fucked
Edit: he’s carrying on
-
Watching the goal again. That ball by Jack was worth the price of admission.
-
Hourihane looks twice the player when Grealish plays.
-
Axl might be the one to ask but does anyone have a stream link to the game they could PM me please?
Cheers
-
Hourihane looks twice the player when Grealish plays.
He does doesn’t he. Bizarre
-

Cheers
Me too pls
-
I'm watching a stream with the worst sound possible. Sounds like the commentary is being done by Skype on 3G.
-
There you go, the first attempt to nobble Jack
-
I'm watching a stream with the worst sound possible. Sounds like the commentary is being done by Skype on 3G.
I'm ok with that, I have SSN on to listen to.
-
Hourihane looks twice the player when Grealish plays.
He does doesn’t he. Bizarre
Not really, I think I would too, and I am worse than awful.
-
Well i'm amazed Jack has been hacked down.
-
Both our wingers are struggling at the moment
-

I'm ok with that, I have SSN on to listen to.
I'm okay with it too, PWS.
-
Beg for the link bitches.
-
FUCK!!!!!! We should be 2-0 up
-
Could have scored three times over there.
-
FFS Albert!
-
Puta!
-
So poor by Adomah. Derby are utter shit. We need to bury this lot
-
Should have scored
-
Beg for the link bitches.
I always thought you were the best of all the Peter Withes on here, big and strong, a real mans man.
-
Come in Albert! You are really not at the races at the moment
-
Fucking hell Albert!! Big Fat Frank's boys look clueless
-
That was nasty. How did Conor manage to get himself booked there?
-
Fucking hell Albert!! Big Fat Frank's boys look clueless
I though they were weak against Forest, they all looked 4ft 9".
-
Joking aside, Hourihane is playing MUCH better in this game. I've been one of his biggest critics, but he looks a different player today?!
-
Ref is doing well
-
Derby are fucking shite.
-
Cheers for the link again.
Question, why Rams TV, aren't Villa doing the game or is it really that bad?
-
I'm watching a stream with the worst sound possible. Sounds like the commentary is being done by Skype on 3G.
You weren't kidding. ;)
-
Great tracking back from El Ghazi
-
Good trackingback from EL Ghazi to block that out.
-
Cheers for the link again.
Question, why Rams TV, aren't Villa doing the game or is it really that bad?
I'm watching on AVTV no probs.
-
Cheers for the link again.
Question, why Rams TV, aren't Villa doing the game or is it really that bad?
I'm guessing because a lot of people that have streamed games have been banned by AVTV.
-
Ref is doing well
Especially considering it's Lee Mason.
-
Derby are impressively shit, 2-2 it will be then.
-
This is getting a bit too slow for me. We need step up the pace a bit and push Derby back. They’re awful and we need to put them away.
-
I found a good one if you're stuck PM
-
Whelan's played well so far. A couple of good interceptions reading the game well.
-
I found a good one if you're stuck PM
Please bud
-
Wish Elmo would stop going backwards
-
Wish Elmo would stop going backwards
I've just said that. EVery bleeding time he's got a choice back it goes.
-
I found a good one if you're stuck PM
And me please
-
Good goal for Conor, but we need to score at least a couple more to get some belief back into the squad.
-
Lovely challenge by Tommy
-
Lovely challenge by Tommy
Yep, proper bone cruncher that.
-
We’ve stopped pressing. Come on!
-
It’s got too slow Villa. We have start push up again and dictating the pace. Derby will get back into this if we don’t.
-
YESSSSSSSSS
-
TANMMMMMMMY
-
What a fucking goal!!!!!!!
-
Yes!!!
-
Abraham!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great break away goal.
-
Lovely goal
-
Some of that passing....wow, just wow.
-
Whelo you star!
-
I have to say that was actually superb by Whelan and lovely cross by Elmo
-
SCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
Fooking beautiful counter attack.
-
Brilliant Villa.
-
Great ball from Elmo right after I've slagged him for always going backwards 8)
-
Get in!! please,please,please don't balls this up Villa!!!
-
Whelanaldo
-
can't believe this is the same team we've been watching. We are nothing without Jack
-
It's not often we're this dominant and actually make it pay.
-
Great ball from Elmo right after I've slagged him for always going backwards 8)
Yeh me too 😳
-
can't believe this is the same team we've been watching. We are nothing without Jack
...and quite good with him it seems
-
Get in!! please,please,please don't balls this up Villa!!!
Not today, let's hope it's not the usual one good half
-
Villa are back, Villa are back, 'ello, 'ello.
-
Lovely stuff, more please Villa.
-
We will look even better next week with McGinn back. He’ll replace Whelan but today I’ll hold my hands up and say so far he’s been the best player on the pitch by a mile.
-
Come on you fuckers! Don't fuck it up!
-
Just popped in to say YESSSSSSS! Come on Villa!
-
So, looks like we were correct! The missing ingredient between us being totally shit and fucking great is Mr Jack Grealish....
...and to think we have a rested Sir John McGinn to come back in next game too! ;)
-
YESSSSSSSSSS 3-0
-
Hourihane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
CONOR!!!!!!!!!!!
-
We look so much more assured with Mings at the back too. Growing into the role every game.
-
Gooooaaalll
-
SCORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
Fuck me!
-
Fucking hell who are we watching?
-
Goooooooooooool.
-
Come on you fuckers! Don't fuck it up!
-
Great control by Abraham in the build up.
-
So, looks like we were correct! The missing ingredient between us being totally shit and fucking great is Mr Jack Grealish....

How's he going to get back in after this midfield display?
-

Astonishing isn’t it
-
At last an enjoyable weekend....hopefully.
-
Get in right 11 wins in a row from here Villa! Good to see Conor in some form.
-
Lol. I've missed you, Villa.
-
Great control by Abraham in the build up.
And nice weighted pass to Conor
-
shit the bed
-
Oooooh should be 4
-
5 or 6 would be easy today!
-
Close to being 4
-
YESSSSSSSS 4-0
-
SCORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
OH MY FUCKING GOD!!
-
Holy fuck what a goal by Jack
-
Fuuuucccckkkk
-
You're kidding? What is going on!
-
444444444-0000000
-
Foot like a traction engine
-
Fucking hell!!!! Gasp. Speechless
-
Holy fucking shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!!!!
WHAT. A. GOAL!!!
-
Where have the real Aston Villa gone?
-
Fuck my old boots!
-
Good grief!
-
Grealish wow!
-
No idea what's happening here but I'm loving it.
-
Haha! It just gets better every time I see it.
-
We should get at least half a dozen today, party like it's 2008.
-
Have we scored the fifth yet??
-
I hope I don't wake up!
-
Well, going to go out on a limb here, but I'd say that was a bit better than Wigan away.
-
No doubt Mr Sox is going to take credit for this victory
-
going to get a bit nearer a defibrillator just in case...
-
Come on you fuckers! Don't fuck it up!
-
I wonder if Stuart will make an appearance tonight?
-
Well thank you forum...so far and here England have picked up the pace after losing two early on.
-
we are Jack Grealish’s Aston Villa
-
4.0
Fat Frank not interested now his meeja buddies have given him the Chelsea job
-
Should never have made Jack captain.
-
Smith is blatantly out of his depth here.
-
Amazing what a bit of confidence can do.
Oh, and a world class midfielder!
-
Christ's Chin...is this for real? Wish we could ram the Rams every week.
-
I'm looking forward to seeing the goals. I hope we come out all guns blazing again in the second half. Goals are important to us if we are having a last minute push!!
-
Take Jack off at halftime now, and wrap that little beauty in cotton wool till the next game!
-
Should never have made Jack captain.
Wretched idea
-
(https://i.ibb.co/QJD7m1Q/203460-1410950653-LI.jpg) (https://ibb.co/QJD7m1Q)
Goat's give you goals.
-
7 goals in about 140 mins against Derby so far this season. I hope we meet them in the play-off final!
-
The balance is unreal throughout the team, And our defence down the left is the best I can remember it in a very long time. Hause and Mings look as though they've been playing together for 5 years
-
Thanks to Goldie for the link, just in time for the third and fourth goals
Paul Scoles eat your heart out with the JG goal. What a strike
-
absolute rubbish...Smith out !
Should have been 6-0, brilliant stuff and that volley has left me a little moist.
-
We've jumped ahead of Preston on goal-difference...man I wish there were 15 or 16 league games left instead of 11, I think we've ran out of them to make the play-offs.
-
Captain Jack https://twitter.com/KristofferF/status/1101872531521318912

It's been brewing for a while.

If we win today T.V, i'll put forward the notion for you to be banned from starting match threads.
Probably not the 1st but seconded.
Sorry TV.

Really important to get some momentum in the club for next season though, even if a fair few of them won't be here. The momentum will attract players and may mean we get a shot at keeping the likes of Minger.
-

Just need to win all of them!
-
I'm very rarely right about anything, but whenever anyone said over the last two months 'why are we so shit? It can't just be because we miss Grealish.' I said that it was just because we were missing Grealish.
-
Best rest Jack now and bring me on...I fancy myself for a goal second half.
-
Last time we game Derby a right twatting we played sha in the next game and twatted them as well.
-
The most enjoyable first half of the season.
Plenty of wine, no swearing, 4 goals for us. Grealish is wonderful.

I swore lots. In disbelief.

Brilliant goals!! 4th is an absolute cracker.

-
Great first half. If we can keep this up with our new defence for the rest of the season you just never know. Derby not had a single shot, the easiest game Steer has probably ever had
-
Shit! What a goal!
-
We owe Lampard a cricket score after the misery he's dished out to us over the years.
-
Thank you, PWS.
-

Ain’t that the truth.
-
I’d take Grealish off and lay a challenge down to the team...Now play in exactly the same way, you can do it.
-
That volley is like the one Scholes scored against Bradford years ago, only it's better.
-
Slow-mo Jack.
https://twitter.com/JayJKDekker/status/1101872720948744192?s=19
-
We need a 5th to make this safe
-
Bit likes Scholes against us and I think Burnley too.
-
Bollocks, can't find that good stream so back to Skype
-
We need a 5th to make this safe
I would be happier with 6.

outrageous utv
-

Yep 3 nil win for Man U. I was right in line with Scholes. I think King Ron was welcomed on the pitch before the game

Yeah he hit that sweet....think Jacks is better though ;)
-
I only said we needed a couple more goals, not a few more.
Terrific!
-
We could get 8 and I still wouldn't be able to relax.
-
any streams going gents?
-
OK a nice boring Brucesque second half please
-
This is a proper old fashioned shoeing.
-
Just tried to put a bet on is to get promoted at 40/1. Gave up trying to register on the Ladbrokes site.
-
OK a nice boring Brucesque second half please
NO we want another 4!
-
El Ghazi should have done better from the corner there
-
Ooooooooh Jack again so close
-
We should be 8 up by now.
-
2 or 3 more good chances there.
-
We haven't scored for yonks, useless gimps.
-
Time to give Jack a rest.
-
We haven't scored for yonks, useless gimps.
We really do miss Hutton.
-
I'd take Jack off now and give Carroll 30 minutes.
-
Stupid booking for Hause there
-
That was their first shot of the game
-
missed the first half ;( smith out
-
Come on Deans change it now. Caroll for Jack and Green for Albert please
-
Our defending today has been really disciplined and our patience has forced Derby into mistakes
-
that one trick pony Jacks not offering much
maybe not match fit yet is the only excuse
-
All the other scores are going our way too. Did somebody fix a mirror or something.
-
Fuck me Elphick down. He looks fucked. Could be done for the season
-
Elphick looks fucked. Just went over on his studs.
-
That didn’t look good. Shame, Tommy has been good
-
Tommy doesn't look good.
-
Every silver fucking lining.
-
This is sad man. He’s been so good since he returned
-
This will completely unbalance us again now. Dean not getting a lot of luck is he. Hope Chester is not too far away
-
Taylor on, Hause CB. Just when things looked great...Hope Chester isn’t out too long. We now have two left sided CB’s having had two right sided CB’s for most of the season.
-
Hourihane tracking back with his man. Wonders will never cease! :O
-
Hause really is starting to look the part.
-
We already look weak down the left now. Where was Taylor then
-
Jack off Carroll on
-
Carroll on for Jack
-
Well done Captain Jack 🙌
-
Jack subbed, all fart and no shit.
-
I’d like to see Albert off for Andre next
-
Hause really is starting to look the part.
Isn't he just.
Besides Grealish, my man of the match today. Some of his, and Mings' distribution has been top notch.
-
Don't fuck it up now Jack is off!
-
Carroll looking busy
-
Hause really is starting to look the part.
Isn't he just.
Besides Grealish, my man of the match today. Some of his, and Mings' distribution has been top notch.
And the beauty of it is, we know a fee is already agreed and he's ours if we want him!
-
We have a lot of left footed players out there. 6 by my count
-
Oooooh Tammy. Lovely ball by Carroll
-
Carroll looks very tidy
-
This is sad man. He’s been so good since he returned
The Gods of Football really f*****g suck sometimes. Are there different ones and they all argue and compete against each other like in Greek mythology Homer's Odyssey? Cause if so we've really f***ed someone off.
-
We should have scored there
-
El Ghazi should have buried that.
Another electric counter attack.
-
Really good play again.
-
Green on for El Ghazi
-
Green on for El Ghazi
-
Should have been 5
-
What was the point of that corner when you have two man mountains in the box
-
And RHM scores for Cambridge
-
Whelan superb there. My MOM today
-
Beat Blues, we go above em. Beat Forest the following week, we go above them too. Is it too late to believe? :S
-
Whelan superb there. My MOM today
Yes
-
Whelan superb there. My MOM today
They all deserve it today to be fair (except maybe Steer as he could have finished a crossword puzzle in the sticks today!), but it's got to go to Grealish for me.
-
who is skipper now with Jack off the pitch?
-
Most importantly Bristol City only drawing atm and we still have to play them.
-
We are toying with Derby now.
-
Get your head up Andre
-
Whelan superb there. My MOM today
Yes
Agreed
-
4 mins added time, confident we'll get a point today.
-
Whelan superb there. My MOM today
Yes
Agreed
He does the DM job better than anyone else we have in the squad and his performance have been good recently.
-
Great win. Thank you all
-
To be fair our two left footed CBs have looked ok so far. Refreshing change to have two that can pass the ball!
-
That'll do.
-
Superb all round. Where have they been? If only the past couple of months hadn't been so bad, but still in with a chance of the playoffs if they continue to perform like that.
-
No doubt Mr Sox is going to take credit for this victory
(http://www.theshiznit.co.uk/media/2013/June/wolfgif/leoshrug.gif)
-
who is skipper now with Jack off the pitch?
I'm fairy sure Jack gave the armband to Whelan.

Yep it was Whelanaldo
