Adomah is better on the left moving in. Snodgrass is underwhelming though. His worst away performance from on him yesterday

Was constantly looking to blame anyone else but himself today.

I'd noticed this occasionally in other games but yesterday he was moaning / gesturing almost every time the ball wasn't played exactly how he wanted. Seemed in a right stroppy mood all game

Not working for him.  I think there's a good player in there but right now he looks shot of confidence and he's far too predictable.

Snodgrass out, O'hare in.

Snodgrass out, me in.

I can’t run, I can’t tackle, I can’t head, but I can cross with my right foot.

I hope the fact we've no money to spend is because we're hoping to sign him at the end of the season (or that it went on a loan fee). He's the type of player we need to avoid like the plague.

Old pro on good money thing ( Snodgrass and Whelan ) isn't really looking too good. SB would get less grief if he tried a couple of youngsters who are in form for the under 23s.

Bruce has painted himself into a corner. The codgers are his call and they're too knackered to be effective. A little more imagination and we could have been smacking teams about like the Dogheads. Instead, it's backward passes and square pegs in round holes.

Poor again, easy for the full backs he's up against as they know he will cut inside onto his left peg.

Crap. No wonder the hammers were happy to let him go. Needs a kick up the arse big time.

Sadly Snoddy isn't cutting the mustard but he isn't alone in being a much vaunted player who puts on a Villa shirt and turns to shit.

Not saying he's completely blameless but I think the stolidness of the system as a whole is making his predictable style a bigger problem than it should be. There are plenty of players who are effective at this level despite having only a handful of tricks in the bag. Think the same applies to Hourihane as well, the other player in bad form who's being picked every week.
