Nine

If he can work it out in the final 3rd and become even decently effective there he will be more than the £40m worth of player that we bought.

I think hes the biggest loss we could have had right now, it’s a real punt in the balls especially with Manquillo going out in the same game. Wood, Max and Joe the other 3 that are irreplaceable at the moment for one reason or another, fingers crossed we get a bit of luck with injuries for a few weeks.

That is interesting, this may suggest we are looking at moving to a back 5 longer term. Could also just be kept around for depth if he is happy enough to be moved away from a starting role in the back 4 over the summer with a new first choice CB(s) arriving.. got to be honest he was one I expected to be leaving.

We dominate their lives, we live rent free in their little minds and the best thing is its only getting worse for them from here

Can’t see him starting anytime soon tbh. I personally wouldn’t change our current midfield 3 right now, not until an injury warrants it anyway.

Going to be such a big loss all round. Krafth needs be on his A game if Manquillos done his ligaments as well.

6 weeks is brutal. I wonder what the time frame on Manquillo is, if Trips isn’t available then Manqy really needs to be.

Makes no sense putting Targett on the right instead of his natural position just to put Dummet at LB instead. Much rather have the best possible LB available play LB and work it out for the right side, if that means Krafth then so be it.

If Trippier is out for the season, 3. If it’s only a few weeks then 2.

Will be very happy to see Targett back

Point would be good here.

We were disciplined, kept structure and shape well, energy levels were good and spirit obviously high. Defence was solid overall (besides a dodgy Krafth moment) even if Villa didnt ask many questions of them, progressively in the final 3rd we were pretty bad it just wasnt flowing well around their box at all some very slack attempts at key passes if they were attempted at all. We did very well to see the game out with those injuries when you factor in our record of dropping points from leads this season. Villa were rank mind but its grinding out results in those ugly games that count.

Peroni also has a P funnily enough

Imagine someone on here had said we'd go on a 3 match winning run after Cambridge and Watford

Undropable

The saga continues

I mean the first half wasnt great either when we still had them on the pitch But I know where you are coming from

Not the best performance out of the last 3 but the 2 injuries defo didnt help in that regard

4 points clear.

Come on

Brunooo

Nah Leeds were decent. Villa have been shit.

Thank fuck Villa have been absolutely dogshit today

Burn chucked that bit of Mings shirt into the Leazes
