Work colleague has one of the Brentford backroom staff as a flatmate. He reckons that Hogan is not at all happy at Villa – still living in London and commuting up, and very critical of the coaching work done each week. At Brentford, they'd have three distinct sessions that were set up to how the opposition were expected to play against them; at Villa, it's a bit more bibs and cones.

Do we set up for a draw against the bibs and cones too?

Is anyone  really surprised at this?

Probably is brill’ as they easily matched us this season again. And, I imagine if they opted for the bibs and cones method they could well be bottom.

No wonder they no longer allow the public easy access to training at BH any more as we’d no doubt be astounded as to outdated it really is.

I feel sorry for Hogan. Not his fault the fee was high, not his fault he was bought with no idea how to get the best out of him. Why SB stuck him out on the left on Sunday still baffles me.

I suspect he's not happy because he's not playing..and rightly so. Would love to see him get a run of games up top with Davis now Kodija is out. However, two up front may be a little too attacking for our manager...Think him and Davis could be decent together. He needs a run of games...

he'll be gone in January, right up there with the £12m tossed into a camp fire for McCormack.

You only have to see how he doesn't interact with any of his team - there's something not right.

As suggested earlier, irrespective of the playing style not playing to SH's strength, he has shown little if anything of a level of desire to make something out of nothing.

Absolutely sick of us wasting money.

Hogan gets introduced late into the fray, but is unable to break down the cones.

I don't have a problem with Hogan and I feel a bit sorry for him. I think he's not been given a proper chance as in a run of successive full games to prove himself (perhaps we can't really afford such a luxury, but it doesn't exactly demonstrate much faith in him from the man who paid umpteen million for him).   He's usually used as a late sub with very little time to get up to speed with the game or make an impact.  Most players would find that difficult but new strikers under pressure to get off the mark even more so.  He's playing in a "system" that doesn't generate much attacking will let alone chances and the whole approach is not suited to his strengths.  If we had someone like Hourihane or Lansbury or even Grealish doing a no 10 type role and threading through some clever through balls for him to run on to I think he'd get goals.   But we don't play that way and it seems Bruce has no intention of trying to. The only mystery to me is why Bruce bought him.
