Are Kamwa and Moore any better than DJT?
Iād take Rachel Daly. Better striker than we have.
Seriously, surely Kobei Moore would be a better option than Deon Moore or Kamwa.
50k fee to the Villa though the chap near us said last night and plenty of concessions in attendance. Still will be a decent profit though when taking into account food and beverage sales.
This Villa game is the worst one to read in to.
Iām an advocate of judge after the first league game. Youāll see the squad. Youāll have seen the system and style of play,
I assume we are waiting on a flurry of loan signings to add quality and edge to this group.
Ram and Adomah appeared to want to affect the game which was nice. Jellis seems to have energy. Canāt take much more from it.
Quick free kick showed we are as switched on as ever
PA announcer is just weird, Ranting and Rambling. Whatās he adding to the matchday ?

Did he, in what way?
Yeah but thereās other teams out there that would get us that much if not more. Change it about a bit, bleeding hell

Were they charging to get in the locker last night? They had the big roller shutter doors open at the back which faces the ticket office open and there were door men on there but seemed to be free for anyone to come and go.
So we donāt keep all the money anymore?
No, I think we did one season when they were under Stevie G but that was very much a one-off. Itās still a good money spinner for us but The Villa arenāt a charity.

I thought we did well last night. Iām not disputing we need further additions but i think it might be squad cover in most positions now. Obviously forwards (and ones that can score goals) are an absolute must but that aside I think weāre fairly well set at least from a first team perspective.

Feck me hope Sadler doesnāt read your summary of the squad
What would your summary be?
Donāt get me wrong if the money is there Iād love to see a higher calibre midfielder coming in that keeps the ball better than we currently do, a higher grade and fitter version of Earring, and the elephant in the room is the goalscoring forward(s). That aside though it really isnāt all doom and gloom.

I didnāt see the game and I generally donāt read too much into friendlies tbh. Iām going on where we were last season and the ins and outs. If we donāt sign 3 or 4 decent players, including at least one striker, then I see us being mid table, plus or minus a bit, but certainly not promotion favourites, which a lot on here are demanding that we should be.

Agree mate, as it stands we are below mid table and weaker than last Season.
Work to be done, and not after the season starts this time!
I was shocked by the arrogance and downright rudeness of the Villa lot. Sat in lower tier giving it the big un. Some fat bird in a pink jumper was well excited when Toilet Barry scored. Why they allowed that lot to sit in our home end I will never know. Will not go again. On a plus side the flood lights work.

Good to see that weāve got floodlights and a pitch.
Iām sure we used to have those sorts of things at Fellows Park, and over the course of the summer all we were really bothered about was reading about what players we had signed.
I donāt remember anyone spending an iota of time eulogising about the grass or the lights.
Still, modern life and all that.

āThe chap near usā is that where you get all your information Croddy? 
His work rate, movement and agression up front and coming back in defence, 4 goals until injury.
I thought there was an overall concensus he improved, I didnt imagine it did I??
Iād never met him before, he was a Villa fan. Was some good banter going round and lovely reminiscing with him about 1982.

I think we did top the āBonkā up from time to time .
