Albert Adomah - Released

[mr underhill]

Not many of our players covered themselves in glory yesterday. The only thing that counted was appositive result and we got it.

I can't think of too many piss poor performances yesterday. Not a great deal of quality on show, but I don't think anyone played particularly badly.

[mr underhill]

seriously? our passing was atrocious, and Adomah and Kodjia were totally anonymous to name 2. No one likes the club more than me but sometimes you have to see things for what they are - not good enough at the moment.

[Clampy]

Like I've said, there wasn't a great deal of quality and I've said on the post match thread it wasn't great but I don't think anyone was appallingly bad. The two you've mentioned were probably the poorest but Kodjia was playing on his own and didn't get a great deal of service.

[Mister E]

Poor vs Derby. But he is an example of another player who strengths we arent playing to. He is a winger, passes should be played in front of him so he can run on to them and beat a man with his pace. Most of the time he gets the ball to his feet with his back to goal. And then looks crap.

but he doesn't move into the space. He doesn't offer the opportunity to play the ball in front of him.
I don't think he's very smart, in the football-instincts sort of way.

[London Villan]

He was doing that at the start of the season though.

[BOB MANSFIELD]

I've asked before....If he isn't a winger, isn't a defender and isn't a midfielder.......why play him ? Oh, yes. I am reminded he has made the final pass for a goal more times that any other Villa player. Luck, or good positional sense ...or at least willing to pass it ?

Poor bloke, gets two and his thread isnt even bumped?

Looking at it again his run for his first was pretty damn great. Should get more credit, so here it is.

I posted about about him yesterday on another thread because I couldn't find this one.  His first goal on Saturday deserves more credit than it got, he showed awareness, got his head to the flick-on despite being mauled by the defender and was quicker to the ball for the finish.  The focus was on goalkeeper error which there was, but Albert did well.

I agree Dave, I thought it was a very well taken goal which was largely down to Albert's determination.

I've never understood the criticism he gets at times, he scores and creates on a regular basis and is one of the most effective player in this league. Of course he has spells of not doing much, he's 30 soon and this is the highest level he's ever played at, if he was more consistent he wouldn't be playing in division 2. Plus wingers tend to do that, even Morley, Walters, Daley etc would drift out of games for long spells.

I agree.  I really do struggle to see what Bruce has seen in Bjarnason that led to him being picked over Adomah.  Other than Bruce buying him of course.

[wittonwarrior]

Showed sat much better on the left which is a pity as we need someone wide on the right

[Matt Collins]

He was second highest assist maker in a team that really struggled for goals last season

Good player at this level

[itbrvilla]

I really like him.
