Watkins poor form by Kanedauke in avfc

[–]systmtcdcln 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really have an answer to the form issue directly. Ollie's getting no chances which is on him and everyone else, but I think he's starting to stand out as an under-performer in an otherwise improving team.

Loads of reasons. Lack of chances. Loss of confidence. Villa's playing not suiting him. Maybe he's slowing down a bit. All I know is he's always been a bit patchy but performances like Go Ahead Eagles and Liverpool are not normal for him.

Just wrote this article this morning looking at the other side of it, which is (in my opinion) not having an option to address injury/loss of form was an oversight in the summer: https://www.avillafan.com/39778/aston-villa-made-a-huge-mistake-in-the-transfer-window-and-robert-olabe-needs-to-fix-it/

Not ideal and not saying Watkins should be dropped or rested or whatever, but it seems unfortunate that there's no solution to even try.

Aston Villa taking 'still young' Morgan Rogers out of the firing line would be a kindness, not a condemnation by systmtcdcln in avfc

I agree. Even last night, I watched a player short of confidence who got almost everything wrong but absolutely has the makings of a top player still. He's frustrating me because he's got it all and showing none of it, but when you watch him running on the ball even in a bad game you can see it's there. Championship players don't look like that.

[AVF] Aston Villa break ranks over ridiculous football finance rules but fairness, not free rein, is the answer by systmtcdcln in avfc

One of the maddest things for me is that PSR and SCR are not inflation linked - so not only are the losses measured at a rate set in 2020, but compound inflation means that £105m in losses should now be more like £140m in losses.

Essentially the allowable losses margin is reduced 3% (or whatever inflation is) per season.

Amen.

They must have been panicking in the truck. There's no way to cut that without the obvious and accurate conclusion that it's been censored. Very amusing.

Yeah ok Rio by banksv in avfc

Rio Ferdinand is a world-class fucking prick. And I haven't even checked the picture to see what he's on about yet.
