O’Hare free transfer was a major coup. Villa got mugged off.
Get a left sided defender - get rid of Hamer and replace with a high energy midfielder- get an experienced left wing back - this season will be a bit of a free for all - any owner with some investment even moderate could get some reward
Fabulous dead ball in the 96th minuteThought he was poor first half but much improved after break…but still a short fuse that will get him and the team in trouble throughout season

Yea hard to read to much into the game overall , it's very early days and still too early to write off players who have only really had a half pre seasonIt is the first game folks. First half was a stuttering performance and we looked disjointed.
Attacking wise I thought our central mid were trying to look for a killer ball all the time and just gave it away. The wing backs got in some good positions but the final ball lacked quality. The forwards had to try and create stuff for themselves.
Rose looked good when he came on. Jones was allowed to try and occupy them by attacking. O'Hare as always just kept going. I thought Gyokeres deserved his goal just for all his running and direct style. McFadz just deserved the winner because he has been one of our most solid rocks last couple of years.
It is one game with a long way to go. A couple of players will come in. Some players will have better games than today. Players will bed in more.
But we won and over all I think it would have been harsh if we lost.. I predict a tough season similar to last year. A holding year. I just hope we can get into a safe position a little earlier.
Another thing about ohare that he has against other attacking midfielders is he's always first into the tackle.. rare for a player in his position
In what way did that present itself second half?we did we are low on quality in defence
Eldest keeps up her 100% record watching us. Youngest starts her own, despite being on her iPad all second half she’s come out absolutely buzzing and can’t wait to go back. Love watching new fans being made. By the time they realise we don’t always win they’ll be hooked mwahahahaha
I do wonder how much that would be needed in a better team, though.

forest sat back - they were hardly any attacks in the second half until the end - if you think we don’t need defensive improvement that’s your call - I think we look wafer thin in that department
I’d be stunned if we don’t bring in reinforcements there before the window’s up
Every top team press from the front tbh
My boy sheaf doing me proud
Now just need my boy bright to do the same!!!
Agree with all of this. Seen a lot of posts saying Hamer wasn't great. He often tries to do too much each time but you can see the quality he has and actually thought he had more influence as the game went on. I like how he takes responsibility and wants to get on the ball as much as possible.It is the first game folks. First half was a stuttering performance and we looked disjointed.

I guess Bright will be involved against Northampton
Fabulous dead ball in the 96th minute
Hope so. Many parts of the game today suggested we miss him. First half mainly.
