TuffLuff Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 To be honest my only negative today was I didn’t think Nugent had a great game as he buggered himself running around for 20 minutes like a headless chicken. It’s ok doing that, but there’s a smart way and a way that means your useless for the next 50. Came away from that thinking how much better we are looking as a team (inc subs). We are starting to look balanced and each player has a role that makes them effective. Starting to look upwards if we carry on like that. Davies and Keogh immense, Huddlestone’s best home game and Johnson superb too ( Forsyth is twice the player with a property positioned player in front of him). Weimann looks the most settled he’s been at this club and I could watch Baird for 90 mins. He is a player you can tell has played at the top top level for a long time, a masterclass. I bet Russell has some of the best stats at the club with goals/assists. Finally, we played well but I think Bruce got his tactics wrong, tried pace against Baird rather than pressuring Forsyth?

And Keogh is king. Seing thorne at the end keep the ball was also an incredible plus. Villa mates are crying themselves to sleep tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn’t that impressed with Nuge tbf - he looked tired from the start - a step off the pace. I was happy that Martin came on but his lacksadasical showing stood out from the other 9 who worked their socks off. What does GR see in martin that we don’t ? ? Ask CM yourself. Did you try today Chris or couldn’t you be arsed? If he’s honest he’d tell ya. It was poor, even for him. He must have packed his suitcases already. I call it as I see it. He don’t get a free pass sorry No one gets a free pass, if I’m honest it wasn’t Martins best game but he came on and made a difference like Thorne did. There’s no need to get wound up about it. Leave it at that, I’m sure you, me and everyone else is much more interested in talking about the whole game than Martin’s cameo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertRam Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Great game, Great result, definitely looking forward now!

Guest Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Won't get carried away just yet. Will wait to see what happens after the next 4 games. If all goes well with them then please carry me away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uptherams Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Great win. Solid all round performance. That assist from Keogh has topped off his season so far. Best season for us he has ever had, really impressed that he has essentially cut out his only downside and I would argue he is the best defender in the league now.

Sexydadbod Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Keogh was immense today yet again. The "leaders" in the defence allows Keogh to focus on his own game. Before, he had to talk Christie through games which meant his own form struggled at times and Pearce also struggled because Olsson isn't the best defensively. We have Fozzy now so that isn't as much as an issue. Maybe I'm being harsh on Christie but I really think he was a major reason why we've had a "collapse" in the last few years as our collapses coincided with his poor form.

TuffLuff Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Ooo just one more. Crowd were great today, it’s been slowly improving but thought it today was where it shoud consistently be.

Ruud Aralliss Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 If that's our competition I'm quietly confident, don't think they really troubled us . We're looking solid at the back and we're putting chances away. cant see us not being top 6 this year feeling beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Terrific result. lots of positives. Keogh was terrific. Villa look a good side. Grealish and adomah over loading on their left were a real handful but they lacked a no 9. buzzin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kernow Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Nice little comment I've just overheard in the pub. "If I'm honest I used to think Keogh was an absolute (c u next Tuesday) and I'd have ******* him off for nothing. He's been quality and I'm glad I was wrong." Hopefully a lot of the Blame Keogh Brigade also feel that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperDerbySuperRams Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Defence was an absolute 10/10. All 5 of them. Most confident I’ve felt in years with a Derby defence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
