[Beefy 1965]

Mginn has apparently been their stand out player during their 6 game win streak and has scored goals for them including a belter today.
I would say he is better than Livermore and Brunt but it's opinions mate.

I’m with Beefy, McGinn is better than anything you have in midfield. You guys haven’t looked the same since you lost Barnes back to Leicester, he seemed to be the source of your creativity and I think a striker like Gayle definitely benefits from having someone like Barnes playing. Abraham might or might not be better than Gayle, but he is full of confidence at the moment and scores more goals as well. It is all opinions, keep Grealish quiet and they are not as good going forward, but that is tough.

Haven't seen the game today so it's unfair for me comment on the performance.
But Shan is certainly not to blame IMO - it's Jenkins and Lai who are directly to blame for our current position.
Followed by our recruitment team, while they are are in place it's all downhill. We best get used to it.

To be fair, my opinion on McGinn might be wrong, as I've only seen him 4-5 times, but in those games he hasn't particularly impressed me.

The Villa fans at work keep waxing lyrical about him, but I take them with a pinch of salt. If I listened to everything they said and didn't look at the table, I'd swear they were running away with the league...

Now I don't doubt he's better than Brunt. I personally think Brunt is a spent force as a midfielder now. But it's not like we only have Brunt and Livermore in the midfield, we also have Barry, Johansen, Harper, Field, Mozza, Matt Phillips. IMO Johansen is comparable to McGinn in the way they play, and I certainly wouldn't say McGinn is better than Johansen from what I've seen - Johansen is the captain of his country.

The difference is, due to our poor management, Johansen isn't having time to settle. He's in and out of the side like fiddler's elbow.

I’m with Beefy, McGinn is better than anything you have in midfield.  You guys haven’t looked the same since you lost Barnes back to Leicester, he seemed to be the source of your creativity and I think a striker like Gayle definitely benefits from having someone like Barnes playing.  Abraham might or might not be better than Gayle, but he is full of confidence at the moment and scores more goals as well.  It is all opinions, keep Grealish quiet and they are not as good going forward, but that is tough.

Have you watched us though? Because, by the sounds of it, you're judging based on 2 games.

John McGinn was playing in the game at Villa park when we beat Villa 2-0, Barry and Livermore bossed the midfield that day and we should've won by more goals.

As well as those, we have Stefan Johansen, who is the captain of his country, Matt Phillips and Rakeem Harper, they are all good midfield players. Personally I wouldn't swap Phillips for McGinn in a million years.

Harvey Barnes was a huge loss, but he never played in midfield, he played in a front 3. He can't be compared to John McGinn in any way shape or form. Barnes was replaced by Jacob Murphy, a side by side comparison of this position in the Villa team would be Adomah or El Ghazi.

Obviously I haven’t seen you as much as you guys have, I ‘ve seen you play live about half a dozen times this season. I know Barnes wasn’t in midfield and I wasn’t comparing him directly to McGinn but when he was with you in the first half of the season you looked like a team that would score more than you would concede, and it turned out that way a lot of the time. Since then you seem to have struggled to create the chances for the front two like you were then.

You will make the playoffs, its now a matter of whether you can go into them on a high, low or simply flat mentality. Its crucial you find some confidence from somewhere and be able to maintain it.

McGinn is really good from what i've seen of him tbf.

Anyway that was awful and we really ought to appoint a manager (not that I expect we will anytime soon). It's just very difficult to see us going up at this point, and I fully expect villa to humiliate us in the play offs.

[Arcane Astral Aeons]

that performance was...being polite....pathetic
bunch of muppets running around the pitch with miss piggy on the sidelines trying to look good
personified by good old kermit in goal
no passion...no heart....no nothing
summed up by that awful penalty
we were out battled today by a millwall side that simply wanted it more
first time ever i have left a game early thats how bad we were.

Hegazi needs a good kick up his rear
stupid stupid and stupid

our season has more or less imploded today
a result at Bristol on Tuesday?............what a laugh

Shan?
lets get in his brother Jackie Chan

useless
effing club needs to realise we NEED a manager
NEWSFLASH to the hierachy......to get a manager you need to spend something called MONEY

Jenkins.....DO ONE
that was embarassing to watch today

rant over

[Baggie_One]

I listened to the first 25 minutes and we were useless then, so I decided to cut my grass instead. Unusual for me as I usually listen and scream at the radio, for once I had enough

[4evaabaggie]

Baggieone, I don't get to many games one or two a season, the way things are right now, no direction, no heart, no leadership, no entertainment ......... I fear our poor performance at home to Blackburn may have been my last.
I am Albion thorough and thorough but I find it heart breaking to watch our great club getting torn apart by poor managers, worse owners, dire football and passion less, clueless headless chickens ...... this is a slow agonising death over three or four years.of abysmal boardroom decisions, I can't take much more.
I have said this before ..... when we drew away at Bristol Rovers, I was back there in August for a 6 - 3 win over Exeter ....... so maybe, but the hurt can't keep coming ...... it must change.
Rant and waffle over ....... come on you Baggies, Albion til I die.

I'm of the same opinion - I normally get in the Richardsons Suite and have a meal, etc But at £240 for me and the Mrs to go against PNE  I've decided to give it a miss. I'm not finding it enjoyable atm. I enjoyed the charity match at Stourbridge today though.   and happy to make a donation towards Mary Stevens Hospice
