I quite liked that Spangley.... very good!! Although VB the brand would never let "Daviiiid" buy a kebab you fool! Water, lettuce, and more water are their diet.
Thank you.......

Toronto, I agree re Ash. Indeed I reckon we would be better off with Adam than Young, better set pieces, better through the middle of the park and not as frustrating. Ash has stagnated badly, and we should sell in the summer IMO.

Think that we should use Ash to get Kyle Walker in the Summer.

Hopefully Bradley will get in the team for Petrov sooner rather than later!

The way it's going with these 2 it will be a straight swap

I happen to think there will be plenty of takers for Ash in the summer. I hate to see good players leave the club, but as with any player anywhere, if selling them means we go in a better direction then so be it. If we bring in 15m, and reinvest it in players more suited to GH's style of play then that can only be a good thing. GH must see what we see, and one would suspect that he keeps trying Ash in the "hole" role to see if he can play there. If he can't then we move on and find someone who can. I alo agree with others that our set piece play has really gone backwards and needs addressing urgently.

How many games does he need to see to decide that playing behind the striker isn't his best position? I think most people would agree that it would be better for Villa if Young moved back to the left wing.

Would take Donavon in a heartbeat in the summer.

Might as well try to catch the wind.

We shouldn't go for him. There would be too many broken hearts if he turned us down.

What was the reason he didn't make the bench yesterday?

Lack of training time?

Michael will be nicely rested for Saturday as the US have cancelled their friendly in Egypt. Well done protesters!

Problem with that right now is who then plays behind the striker?  For me it would mean a change in formation, which I'd be OK with, but I don't think Gezza will do it.

Once Bradley is in the side and up to PL speed, I'd like to see us try a more traditional 4-4-2 with Gabby upfront and 2 of Ash, Downing or Marc wide.

I don't thing GED will go 442, he likes 433 and it's a question of seeing who can adapt in that position, I'm hoping Bradley will be the attacking midfielder and Bannan as the creative man with makoun holding , and marc and downing providing supply to bent.

Ash will probably go and I don't see where gabby will fit in, I wouldn't be surprised if GED brings in owen on a free in the summer too, he still rates owen and if fit he can do a decent job .
