Re: Aston Villa vs THE SUPER CLARETS Match Thread

Fortune favours the brave. We do tend to play with a fear that Sunderland and Leeds have banished. In some ways it's understandable, and showing that bravery isn't on SPs CV. There have been many moments we've looked good enough this season, but just too few to register the wins we need. SP will sor...

Really sad to see him go, but it had to happen.
A great signing for us, but literally too little physically for the Premier League.
If we manage to stay up, and he has a good season, we have a saleable asset again. If we do go down, he could still do a job for us after the inevitable fire sale.

It wouldbe a bigger risk keeping him this season, as his game time would be limited. A year in the championship and he'll get plenty of minutes, find his form, and come back the player we hoped we'd bought.

As long as Tresor is in the building, he has to be a part of the match day team. If it's only off the bench until he's got full fitness so be it, but it would be criminal not to start gaining some value for our money.
He has what we need, just doesn't look capable of a full 90 mins.
