I’d like him to bag a hat trick every week in a 4-3 loss. The “break yer ‘eart” winner each time coming deep into stoppage time on each occasion.

It's a shame both the Gardner brothers cant play against villa .

Would have been interesting watching Grealish run rings round both of them

A pale shadow of the player we all hoped he might become.

And he’s now pale and in the shadow too.

He got a good reception when he was subbed last night. Poor thing. Gone from playing for a quality club to being subbed for/by the footballing equivalent of a dog shit bin.

Apparently they should have hammered Swansea last night. He may have been instrumental.

Gary Gardner is playing very well for Blues. Scored last night. Monk classes him as an important cog in their midfield. How can he look so good for them? Surely better than Whelan/ Hourihane?

I wonder if Smith will recall Gardner if we have the option in January ? We really shouldn't be aiding the noses!

High expectations at Villa and it seems they weigh heavy. See Lansbury, Whelan, Hogan. Players do seem to do better in some cases when the leave us, see Hogg, Stevens, Lowton and dare I mention his name, Westwood.

I don't think you can recall players from season-long loans.
I think there's normally a break clause in January?
