JAKE O'BRIEN IS NOT A RIGHT BACK!
February 7, 2026 at 3:41 PM
Branthwaite is our best player. Mental
February 7, 2026 at 1:50 PM
Often last resort this sort of stuff after internal stuff hasn't worked. He certainly plays like he needs a rocket up his arse
February 7, 2026 at 11:51 AM
I also think we'll see a huge improvement in Tarkowski in 2nd half of season if Branthwaite stays fit
January 29, 2026 at 7:39 PM
I think Tarkowski takes up the club captain role (but takes on a much more limited role on pitch). Jarrad the captain for me
January 29, 2026 at 6:54 PM
We need some pace in wide areas desperately. People who stretch the game. Could be from full backs, allowing Ndiaye etc to push in
January 27, 2026 at 12:43 PM
We need Europe to be able to kick on. We want to be villa in 2 years
January 25, 2026 at 8:04 PM
Branthwaite when up to speed has to come straight in. JO'B RB experiment should be over now though. Patterson is absolutely fine.
January 24, 2026 at 11:30 AM
No issue with him lb. Think Ndiaye would have to play in front though to provide some natural width.
January 22, 2026 at 2:39 PM
If no deal is in place and he's out for 3 months he needs sent back I'm afraid. No time for sentiment. Get a replacement in asap
January 20, 2026 at 9:52 PM
Don't think we need the distraction / noise. No proof of his acumen as a coach.
January 17, 2026 at 9:22 PM

Unsure why this isn't the prevailing narrative. No side deals with the amount of absences we have. They'll return, we will most likely improve.
January 11, 2026 at 2:20 PM
Clearly talented. Needs a lot of coaching. Overplays. Plays too slow. Isn't direct enough. Needs to play with much more intent/energy if he's going to be a top player
January 10, 2026 at 8:20 PM
I agree. But he's played there almost the entire time moyes has been manager. Patterson should be playing but he's hardly Cafu.
January 10, 2026 at 3:54 PM
We've almost got an entire first XI missing. ALL our best players out. We all need to take a breath and see perspective. We've been avoiding relegation for 4 years and now sit 4 points off a champions league place. Players will return, we will improve.

My daughter says she loves it. She'll be getting it in June when it's £15
January 10, 2026 at 10:44 AM
Agree with that. Though we know Moyes has always maintained a pessimistic persona when discussing transfers, it's nothing new. If we're short on Feb 1st, then questions should/will be asked
January 9, 2026 at 12:13 PM
I understand everyone's frustrations after last two home games but I there aren't significant changes to be made. Maybe Patterson being selected means we would have won, maybe not because he's a bit crap. Splitting hairs over selection at the minute due to options. We'll improve with bodies back
January 9, 2026 at 12:01 PM
I could see a loan again with us taking on a bigger % of his wage. He makes things happens, occupies multiple defenders, works back, top 3 assists in league. Much better when Ndiaye and KDG are there
January 8, 2026 at 2:31 PM
What are we paying for? Being 4 points off a champions league place? Last two home games haven't been good enough but let's not forget the strides we've made.
January 8, 2026 at 1:31 PM
The current operation has only been in place a matter of months. We know our squad has limitations but that has nothing to do with Moyes/TFG. Recruitment in the summer was, on the whole, good. Long way still to go but we've made exceptional progress from where we were 12 months ago
January 8, 2026 at 11:49 AM
I think by every metric he's taken us forward. Let's see how it plays out but I'm optimistic that getting players back, couple of additions, we'll be comfortably top half and given the nature of the league could sneak Europe. That'd be some achievement
January 8, 2026 at 7:56 AM
4 points off 5th with our 4 best players missing. Things far from perfect but Moyes has done a great job in turning us around
January 8, 2026 at 6:34 AM
Thinks it's all about your final couple of lines. Missing key players is killing us. We desperately need a RB to add balance. Haaland wouldn't score in this side
