For those who went to Burton, how was Bree at centre-half?

Decent actually. One of the few if only positives.

All will be fine. We still have Micah Richards.  Makes me even angrier with him that he’s still here.

It makes me sick in that whilst Elphick is certainly no Paul McGrath he's a good pro who wants to do well for Villa, yet on the flip side we're still paying Micah Richards a stupid wage for doing absolutely nothing.

Just like Amazon Prime, it is very hard to cancel, and will keep charging you dosh.

Anyone still see the sense in Elphick being let go? Ads maybe?

Nice dig though you whopper.

We haven't kept a clean sheet yet in the league, it's hard to imagine we'd be any worse with him playing instead of Jedi.

He played at Hull and was at fault for the goal. He's shite. We lost absolute top quality in Terry and haven't replaced him.

The answer to what question?

If it's "Would you rather Mile Jedinak, a whole heap of nothing on the bench, or Tommy Elphick?" then actually I do think he's the answer.

He may not be a fantastic player but letting him go with 1 actual centre half in the squad was wilfully stupid, and you know it.

Him being limited doesn't alter that he'd almost certainly be better than Jedi. I'd prefer we had better than both but in a straight choice between Jedi and Elphick it wouldn't be Jedi.

No problem with him going, as long as we had a replacement. Just idiotic.

You just told an outright lie, he sat on the bench and didn't play a minute today.
