Went on his thread on Villatalk last night quickly, they seemed to think he looks a player but the side are hoofing too much to benefit from him. Its better if Bruce weathers this for him but its looking like a real nose dive presently.
Well I'd agree Villa are the better bet long-term regardless.

First goal for Villa after coming on as a sub. They lead Bristol City 2-0. O'Dowda started for them.
Just saw it on SSN, a close range finish with his right foot, not one for his spectacular highlights reel but a massive moment for him all the same.
Not his best goal ever, I think that is the first time I've ever seen him in the opposiition box!
He is back at top of the Championship stats, joint top.
Might have his second for Villa as he and the defender both slid in but it's registered as a Will Vaulks own goal on Sky Sports for now. They lead 1-0 at Rotherham.
Criticised for missing several chances against Rotherham at the weekend and he's missed another this evening from ten yards.
Villa fans are crazy about him though.
Sheffield Wednesday down to ten men after Vincent Sasso was sent off for a foul on Conor Hourihane, who assisted Villa's goal.
SW may live to regret not pushing strongly enough to sign Hourihane when they had the chance.
Highlights v Wednesday.
Very nice assist, got a player sent off due to alertness/speed, had a chance himself but put it wide, played a part in early build up for second goal.
Was there not some other player at villa who was eligible for Ireland, seems he play a couple of games ago, came on and then was subbed off
after 10 mins, I forget his name now.
[edit - seem I forgot to post the video too!! here it is]

Anyway, is that 4 wins in a row now? Quick reversal in fortunes.
Not quite, they lost to Huddersfield last week. More importantly though, they've cut the deficit to Barnsley from thirteen points to just three, so OwlsFan may yet restore his pride.
Oh it seems in my haste I forgot to post the video.
I can't imagine too many people sitting through that but 4 controversial incidents on which, despite the rants of many Wednesday fans, the ref got right in 3. Owls goal disallowed: scorer not offside but player who heads the ball to him was. Correct. Sending off: Weds centre-half has worse first touch than me and would have broken a leg with the subsequent lunge if Hourihane (I think) doesn't get out of the way. Correct. Owls penalty appeal: Looks like Hunt pulled back. Incorrect. Villa second goal offside ? No. Correct decision.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
It only about 2 mins, it automatically goes into the extended highlights though.
Linked with a move to Sheffield Wednesday.
