Nice tekkers from Grealish today. This is his assist (one of two) for Campbell-Ryce's go-ahead goal to make it 3-2. They ultimately ended up winning 4-2 to boost their survival chances.
Nice camera angle there too. Grealish doesn't even appear to be that assertive without the ball- he doesn't appear to demand it and stood behind his marker for the throw-in when he was closest to it. Then, he picks up the ball and just makes defenders look silly. How good would he be if he got a Trap punch like James McCarthy was threatened with?
There was a real touch of class about the little delay right at the end before playing it across. Most players would have played it that split second earlier and been quite content with a corner after the inevitable block by the defender.

Jack Grealish in the running to replace David Moyes?
Assist for Notts County's early goal against Swindon. They lead 1-0.
no mention of the goalscorer - Alan Sheehan!
Couldn't find his thread :o
If he was from England, he would probably have about twenty threads by now asking about his ill/eligibility.Quote:

They have spend nearly all season in the drop zone, so looks like a great escape for them.
A draw will be enough unless Tranmere win 14-0.Quote:

Looks easy money but you risk losing a lot if it goes wrong in order to win
a small amount. £60 would get you back less than £10.
Then there could be a bit of skulduggery with players being paid to throw a match
so best left alone I think.
But you wouldn't lay £60 tricko. Tell me, where's your 50p going?
Well I can't now someone has taken that money, it is now 11.5 or 10.5-1Quote:

So looks like I missed the boat. 10-1 is a more realistic price, there are 3 possible results
win lose or draw so 3x3=1 plus one other team could win it's two games, again 3x3 so
you gave 9/1 + 9/1 =9/2 so maybe even the 6-1 was a bad deal.
Like all the 27 year-old, League One, England-born players that do...Quote:

Villa are safe but Lambert's backside is still on the bacon slicer after a rancid run of results so I doubt he would take the risk of selecting Grealish for their next 2 games. They could still finish 11th too so that's even more incentive to play his strongest team.Quote:

Why do you think Grealish will be involved? I don't think he's been mentioned by the coaches at all, has he? If guys like Eunan O'Kane and Sean Murray aren't there I'd be surprised to see Grealish.
And you don't think Carruthers will be kept on at Villa?
When is it to be announced?Quote:

Lawrence and Duffy have been unqualified succesess but the bulk of the team probably overachieved in League One last year and will likely not challenge again next season. They are a small club with not a huge amount of income, and promotion to the Championship doesn't provide you with a fraction of the financial windfall that promotion to the Premier League does. Blackpool bucked the trend and went all the way to the Premier League, but once again they're struggling to stay in the Championship. Scunthorpe and Preston are closer to the norm - teams who go up, assemble Championship squads and then have to cut costs rapidly when they go down again. Even Southampton, Leeds and Nottingham Forest - massive clubs - had a hard time getting back to the second tier.
Grealish won't be making his debut tonight. Chelsea and Liverpool would pitch a fit if he did. Villa have to put out something akin to their strongest side.
According to his brother, who's a regular poster on Villa Talk, he's travelling with the squad.Quote:

Hull were already safe before that game though. Neither team had anything to play to for.Quote:

What if Hull decided to rest their squad for the FA Final, and play their youth team? Could Everton or Spurs complain if they were squeezed out of a Europa League spot?
He's on the bench apparently.
Yep, confirmed by villa's Twitter account: https://twitter.com/AVFCOfficial/sta...99648945532928
He'll score a late hat trick and get called up for the WC by Roy Hodgson. TOWK will be granted Freedom of Foot.ie.
Doubtful, but my pal can now include him in his article...
And joking aside, he can't play for Eng??
He can if he wants, provided he hasn't appeared for our senior team.Quote:

Enthusiastic @JackGrealish1 gets in some shooting practice in the warm-up. #AVFCLIVE #MCFC

On for his debut, only a few minutes to go
Didn't get an awful lot of time to get involved - only time I really saw him was when he got blocked by Garcia and made the most of it. If he'd been on a few minutes earlier when Villa were bossing the ball, we'd have seen more of him.
