Val Says My Captain Will Always Start!

That's your goalkeeping spot booked then Leics, especially after Johnstone looks likely to go in January. I was hoping that Regis and 123 would help us out as well because we need a good left winger!

Can’t see why Livermore was brought back! Fat Sam sussed out Livermore being the weak link

Couldn't agree more Al , I do believe the other players played for Big Sam & the only reason I believe he walked away was they wouldn't back him in the transfer market , if we had him now we wouldn't be where we are in the league now , & i think he would have gone along way of keeping our loan players we had last year, going nowhere with Val & his style of **** play I'm convinced of that , & if money were made available would anybody trust him to bring in the right player or would a better quality player come & play for him I doubt it very much .

Your comments about Fat Sam Johnny are spot on! Why would he have stayed with zero spend - the guy is not stupid!

It's why the club paid £2m to get Val. Nobody can play expansive football with this squad.
The fault isn't with Val it's with Lai.
If Val had a quality squad and he played this way I would slate him, but he hasn't.
The reason he doesn't have a plan B is because what would plan B be? Playing out from the back with Bartley? Big Dave tried that with a better team.

You are so right Des!!! Look at Big Dave’s team compared to this squad now and it’s worrying as not one player is Premier class!!

Plan B is Zohore and the academy players if still some left after many of them went to Villa!

Sounds like you've got just the experience we need Prando. So that's our back three sorted then, Al, Mick and Prando. Now we are on the lookout for a decent striker so there must be someone out there who has managed to score a few goals in Sunday morning football?

I played centre forward (South Birmingham Sunday League) and scored a few including a hat trick of headers. On a Saturday I played full back and then centre half (captain). I was always very slow, generally pretty c rap but very popular and dead keen.

Sounds like you have all the qualities Val looks for!
