Why take Sinclair off for Rudy?

Gabby is dead.
Good Lord the quality of analysis on here.  1. Sinclair so anonymous someone thought he wasn't on the pitch; 2. Only real chance created and a very good one for Gil came directly from Gabby's good work. 3. Gabby has struggled in the air against two shaky looking centre halves hence put the big striker on. $. Westwood has been excellent first half doing largely the necessary things noone ever gets praise for and is consistently excellent at doing just that.

Oh please.

Gabby will be gassed by the 75th. We need a goal, and I'll take Sinclair's form over Gabby's at the moment.

We were already showing that we had no width and a condensed back like is killing us. That is what Sinclair is for, taking him off was a bad idea. Simple as.

Name one thing gabby does better than Scott?

Breed.

 ;D

I was expecting "Run" but that'll do. First smile of the match for me.

I sometimes wonder if there is a gypsy curse at Villa Park.

Amavi is class.

He's also a liability though.

The thing is, we've all known for absolutely ages that playing Gabby up front on his own at VP is as about as much use as standing in a field, lobbing cowpats up into the air and trying to head them as they come down.

It's such a universal truth, you'd think someone at the club could have pointed it out to Sherwood when he first arrived. Or showed him how the fucking DVD player works.

Pretty disasterous display so far.
