Surprised he keeps playing Watkins. I'd be wrapping him up in cotton wool after every league game.

Smith has very few alternatives. Glaringly obvious that another striker is needed. Will he act before Monday's deadline??
Merely speculation, but I assume the reasoning behind playing those players tonight as opposed to a few more kids was that there's a fair chance we'll have to call on the services of one or two of them in the near future, and a lack of reserve team football means that games like tonight are the only opportunity to instill any kind of match readiness in them.
Sorry if it's already been posted but Deano's not happy...QuoteAston Villa boss Dean Smith: "First half we were awful even though we had two open goals. We were better in the second half and I thought we could have had two penalties for a couple of shirt pulls. We were excellent at Bristol City and rightly lauded there but we made too many basic errors."We still had chances but we didn't take them. It's a set-back, but in terms of our priorities, making 11 changes lets you know where we are at. It's certainly a blip and now we have got a tough game on Sunday. I have had these players long enough to know about them but the players who came in tonight certainly did not do themselves credit."https://www.skysports.com/football/a-villa-vs-stoke/report/438843

With all due respect those people saying they aren’t bothered by it obviously aren’t interested in Villa doing what they and us are in football for. To win things like er trophies. 24 Fcukin years.
