RonVlaar4 9 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Our current defence: CB: Vlaar - injured - has been playing really well but is very injury-prone Okore - injured - has looked quality in the few matches he could play Clark - fit - played OK but likes to get a yellow cards here and there Baker - fit - played mostly average and just as Vlaar he is very injury prone Herd - injured - played twice, otherwise rarely mentioned Donacien - fit - never got a chance of playing in the first team LB: Bertrand - injured - was just brought in and gave some stability Bennett - fit - just came back from long injury, it is yet to be found out at which level he is atm Luna - fit - went from being a regular starter to being ignored when the last match squad was selected RB: Lowton - fit - didn't play too badly but nothing close to last season either Bacuna - fit - his performances were acceptable but he is not really a RB Webb - fit - just like Donacien he was given no chance to prove himself in the first team so far Link to post Share on other sites
Loyalvillan 585 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Injuries are crippling us again this season!! this has to be taken into account when looking at performances! “Each smallest act of kindness, reverberates across great distances and spans of time --affecting lives unknown to the one who’s generous spirit, was the source of this good echo. Because kindness is passed on and grows each time it’s passed until a simple courtesy becomes an act of selfless courage, years later, and far away. Likewise, each small meanness, each expression of hatred, each act of evil.” Link to post Share on other sites
Loyalvillan 585 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Looks like Lambert is playing the long game with Okore, i do agree t be fair http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11677/9275514/premier-league-aston-villa-defender-jores-okore-on-course-in-recovery-from-knee-injury “Each smallest act of kindness, reverberates across great distances and spans of time --affecting lives unknown to the one who’s generous spirit, was the source of this good echo.

avstu 264 Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 The new manager might not like Okore If he is good enough, the new manager will like him. Let's be honest, it shouldn't be hard with the Brady bunch we currently have! "Winning isn't everything, but it beats anything that comes in second." - Paul Bryant Link to post Share on other sites

avstu 264 Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 Yur righty there mate ,,, but I've never really seen him play .. I am one of a few that had seem him play before he joined Villa. Put it this way - his side in Europe are generally one to make the numbers up - not even at the level of Celtic but he looked a class act at that level. I am pretty sure he helped his side to two clean sheets against Chelsea. Ask Chelsea fans about him from the two games he played against them, many believed he would become the long term replacement for John Terry.

AnneMc 265 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 He's fast and talented. Hopefully injury won't mean he's Villa's next GG. Link to post Share on other sites
Loyalvillan 585 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 with all our players fit at the start of next season we have a decent squad on paper! not a bad canvas for a little investment ! “Each smallest act of kindness, reverberates across great distances and spans of time --affecting lives unknown to the one who’s generous spirit, was the source of this good echo.
