JBG gonna have to fight his way back into the team now. The shirt is Hendricks to lose for now.

I'm a big fan of JBG but I would like to see Hendrick keep his place on the right of midfield, it gives us a better balance than having two outright wide players.

It's funny that in the US there is an unwritten rule in sports that you dont lose your starting spot due to injury. Basically once you're healthy enough you go back in the starting lineup... I think JbG slots back in

Re: ARTICLE: JBG back in contention for Villa
For an away game, I think he will stick with Hendrick with JBG on the bench.

Re: ARTICLE: JBG back in contention for Villa
Some players are good enough to walk straight back into a starting eleven after an injury.
I like JBG but he does not fall into that category. He’s had a pretty inconsistent 15 months now - partly because of his injuries. But in my view there is no way that Jeff deserves to be dropped this week....and I don’t think he will be either.

A fan of JBG but based on last Saturday Hendrick has to start.

Brady, JBG, Jay & Vydra is definitely a bench that has a lot of good attacking threat if needed

JBG is our most frustrating player. On form a big asset but he does get a lot of minor injuries that keep him out.

What a great position to be in. Two very accomplished players to choose from. Have to go with Hendrick on this occasion as the man in form.

Re: ARTICLE: JBG back in contention for Villa
Like others have said we should stick with Hendrick and the same starting 11 has last Saturday.
JBG just doesn't do it for me, he his far to inconsistent. He lacks pace and can only check back or do link up play, you need more at this level.

Re: ARTICLE: JBG back in contention for Villa
"Only checks back or links play"; surely this is a better description of Lennon rather than JBG.He can cross with his right, as we have seen on several occasions.He has quick feet , a decent shot and scores.Tackling is his weakness but he is a winger after all.

You pick your best team, every time, if available. Best may vary depending on the opposition and other factors. Jeff has earned the shirt for Saturday - and I'd love him to keep earning it for several weekends.

JBG is one of my favourite players, but for me Hendrick starts. He has been fantastic since moving to right midfield.

Re: ARTICLE: JBG back in contention for Villa
I agree. I am a huge fan, BUT his numerous niggling injuries have robbed him (and us) of lots of probable appearances in the past 18 months and when he is fit he needs a run of games to get back to his best and that never seems to happen these days as he's either a sub or gets another knock. I actually feel he lost something after his injury against Lincoln and hasn't quite posed the same threat since. The way things are he's slipped down the pecking order and I can't see him getting a start barring injuries at present and that's a shame. If SD rates him behind Lennon for example, it's criminal imo, but I suspect right now he does.ClaretTony wrote:JBG is our most frustrating player.

Re: ARTICLE: JBG back in contention for Villa
JBG started every game before his latest injury which suggests SD has him ahead of Lennon. The problem with JBG is his injuries. Apart from one run of games in 2017/18 it's been stop/start for him in all his three seasons at Burnley.Dark Cloud wrote:If SD rates him behind Lennon for example, it's criminal imo, but I suspect right now he does.
but fit or not, I can't imagine him starting tomorrow.

Re: ARTICLE: JBG back in contention for Villa
Its mostly baseball but back in 2000 or so, tom brady was a backup and only started because the starter was out 4 games due to injury. Belichek went with brady because he was playing well and it was kind of a big deal at the time.Paul Waine wrote:Hi Ashevile, does this apply to 11-a-side soccer teams, or is this some of those American sports?

Incase no one gets this reference, it's to american football. Tom brady will probably go down as the best quarterback of all time but only started due to an injury.
