Jack Cork another disasterclass? Won’t get mentioned on here mind. What an awful player he is.
Remember he was picked by all those different managers at Swansea and Southampton though.

Re: Against Villa

Villa will come to the Turf with confidence of halting their slide. They will also have seen that we’ve only had one good half of football in the last two games. They’ll be expecting us to launch it long for most of the game.

I’m expecting much of the same, both managers will be happy for a point.
