I really hope we’ve had a good think over the last week and realised our game plan isn’t working and try something different, especially trying to utilise McGinn. Come on Smith, let’s attack with more fluidity please.

It is very strange though as Dean said he’s back and raring to go, unless he’s playing mind games
Mind games are a bit pointless, Fulham will be laughing at him not being available given how poor we were for most parts of the game v likes of Sheffield United and Newcastle.
One of the more winnable games for Fulham in the run in and Mitrovic scored a few for Serbia.

Wish Smith would be braver ,all the exciting youngsters we have andhe sticks with the same boring old subs who are just not good enoughThis, for me. Either by accident or design, we are a one-man team at present and the pessimism surrounding us isn't going to lift until Grealish returns, so why not shake things up? We're not going down; we won't get a European spot; we've done so much better than last year. Use the rest of the season to try a few things out, instead of sticking to the same team and sweating over whether we finish 12th or 9th.

It hasn’t worked since Jack has been out, and he also reverts to playing McGinn at DM, nullifying his attacking ability, which in itself seems insane considering what he’s achieved over the last week, even in a shite Scotland team!

#avfc trained yesterday and Jack felt some discomfort; was due to start against Fulham but Saturday's setback has forced Smith's hand not to risk it. A real shame; skipper must have been devastated; he's itching to get back. Focus now on in-form McGinn & Villa's internationals.

No, Damo. That can't be true. I saw Fulham beat us 2-1 about 5 years ago. Keiron Richardson scored the winner against us and Lowton made the most unbelievable goal line clearance during the game.

On thin ice for me now- Getting a performance out of a squad of players that cost the same amount as the national debt of a small country, should NOT hinge on the availability of one player, no matter how good he is.

Any one still think Sanson is a Defensive Midfield player?
No idea what he is to be honest.
He's doing a lot of calling for the ball and then just passing it backward.

Traore and El Ghazi are just shockingly poor. Both have been more of a threat to our defence than to Fulham's so far.
Traore and AEG were in great form at the turn of the year.

I would much rather try some youngsters out and give them a taste than watch Traore for another second. He has his defenders here, but I do not know why. He is so poor. You have to question whoever green-lighted that purchase. He is so clearly one-footed that, unless he is Robben-like, you should never buy a player who with such a liability.
I'm with you, he's abysmal.

From absolutely loving watching us we are right back to this being such a chore. We are going to end the season if Jack doesn’t return in the lower half around 13th/14th. From where we were and what we had aspirations for, that will be absolutely dreadful.
I am disappointed, we had a chance to really get ourselves in amongst the top half and we have bottled it.

Same old same old really, we're trying but there's a complete lack of confidence in final third and players simply don't believe they can do stuff like scoring a goal without Jack out there so a pretty depressing sight.
Shame given I've enjoyed most of this season but it really does have a feeling now of I wouldn't care less if this was our final game, all petered out too easily once again.

Watkins got to the ball first based on the angle they didn’t show to the ref. But the Fulham player then gets the ball cleanly. No idea why they had to get the ref to look at a monitor.
I thought it was a certain pen on the first two replays, thought Lemina barely moaning to the ref was a tell tale sign. On others it does look Fulham player toed the ball but replays were hardly from great angles to be clear.
Was actually more annoyed a few minutes before when the Fulham player just slipped over and Traore got called for the foul when he'd passed it to Ollie, can't believe he didn't just play on and let VAR sort that.

I agree, Smith has been very patient with thus syetm.and El Ghazi/Traore. Its just not happened post return. Getting somebody closer to Watkins is worth a go.fully agree, Watkins again looks very lonely --not an impressive first half---need to improve if we want the points,

Yep, go 2 upfront and have Barkley roaming behind them. It might not work but 4-3-1-2 is worth a go second half rather than the more predictable let Trez have a run around for last 25 minutes.

You know how Jack's vision sometimes makes it look like he's playing Fifa? El Ghazi's the same. Except he's shit at Fifa.
El Ghazi's playing like the CPU on amateur difficulty setting.

How can Smith look at his performance and think that it's in any way acceptable? Why is he still on the pitch?

We have probably overachieved this season but the reliance on jack, lack of a plan b and again having a striker who doesn’t score is dreadful. We need a team of players at jacks level and more progressive thinking from dean. These slumps need addressing ASAP as they are damaging

We’ve spent way too much money to be this bad. And as good as we thought Dean Smith was or was becoming it is now being proven without a shadow of a doubt it was all Jack.
The defence were at fault for the two Spurs goals, the Sheff Utd goal and the Newcastle goal. so hardly been superb all the time. Agree about lack of goals putting pressure on them though.

I get it Andy. Tyrone Mings makes the odd error. He’s been great the last while but he can make those errors. But the fact that we need him to be perfect is unfair. Our inability to even get a fucking shot on target anymore outs incredible pressure on the defence to be perfect.

Bad defensive errors will always happen to every side over a season, our defence is still what 4th or 5th best in the league?
It's looking like it will be 3 goals in 7 games since Jack got injured so I'd say that's far more alarming.

Tactical fucking genius by Smith with his plan B change of formation and bringing on Trez. Let's make sure we don't drop the points from here.

This is why I was saying play Davis from the start. I’m glad he’s made a late impact but he’s clearly allowing us to play a different way. He made that goal
Yep me too - just to try something different.
Post by: Toronto Villa on April 04, 2021, 06:15:29 PM
Must be a lot of Davis haters going quiet now?
What’s that about? He’s a very limited footballer who has never scored a PL goal. He offers something different though when he plays. Most people know that. But that we also know he’s limited doesn’t make anyone a hater.

His cameo today has been undeniably brilliant. But does it make up for 9 months of nothing? Do the goals AEG and Traore got earlier make up for the last 8-10 games of them being cack?

I don't agree at all with that assertion that he's a 'very limited footballer'.

Hopefully this last 15 minutes pushes us on for the final 9 games and we get a rousing finish.

I will be the first to put my hand up and say that I have questioned Trez this season - plenty of workrate but the finishing product has often left a lot to be desired.

Gets a lot of stick, but always seems to pop up when you need something.
Credit where credit's due, but I hope this doesn't paper over the tracks though. This performance for the large part has been as bad as anything that was served up under Bruce.

We can score goals without Jack. And it feels like the shackles have come off a bit in the last 15. Great to watch.

Yep. Just as it would be unfair to judge a player on one bad performance, the same goes for one good one.
Post by: Damo70 on April 04, 2021, 06:21:58 PM
Blimey. I only went outside for about 10 minutes after they scored.
Piss off again then ;)

Agree entirely, but Trez always struck me as being a confidence player - if you look at the last few games of last season, he was the same. I hope that this performance gives him the confidence he has been somewhat lacking in recently.

Davis has made a big difference just by roughing their defenders up a bit, it's created space everywhere.
Yes! That’s what he does

I'd say 13 wins on the board with nine games to go might have more to do with it.
