Have the medical team checked the length of his legs? From that photo, and I'm not a fully qualified Doctor, his right leg looks as though it's quite a bit shorter. Worried.
We need bodies. He is one. Expect he'll challenge Phillips. That might make Phillips better, it might mean he ends up second choice and we lose him next summer. But this makes us a better team right now.
Bowyer has already said he wants to bring in a keeper to push Dillon Phillips.
No doubt, Phillips has the shirt tomorrow. It's his to lose. That's how it should be.
But the new lad hasn't come here to sit on the bench all season.
personally I thought he lost the shirt last week. I know he's young and first game of the season but if we have a better keeper there's no time for sentiment. Serious danger of a relegation battle this season and he cost us 3 points last week.
Yeah right - all other goalkeepers are perfect.

He also madd 2 fantastic saves and lets be honest Page made a massive error for Sunderlands 2nd
My Villa supporting friend says he is very Injury prone and made one the worst clangers he has ever seen in a pre season match against Dresden a few weeks back.
Would be more worried if he was a Driesden clanger

I was replying to a series of criticisms made about Dillon which were obviously OTT. The logic on here of some is that Phillips is the only one who makes mistakes. I thought it was pretty obvious the point I was making?
Every keeper makes mistakes - the secret is to minimise them.
Yeah I thought tonight would be a good chance for Bowyer to see what he can do ahead of deciding whether to have Phillips or Steer in goal against Accrington
I guess this is sending the message that Phillips has the jersey to lose and is being given a run of games for the needed experience

I would say Shrewsbury was too soon for Steer and now Phillips will play cup games only of which we just happen to have one tonight.

Knew a Brummie called Jed at college, he played in goal for our football team.
He was an anarchist with dreadlocks and a nose ring and he always wore the same clothes.
He achieved infamy in 1994 post match by stapling his scrotum to his thigh in a long, boozy session after our only win of the season.
Don’t think this is the same bloke though.

Worried.

Steve Gallen on singing Jed Steel
Didn't sing a note.

But very surprised he isnt playing tonight, has he picked up an injury

Steer must be pretty fit already ...... he played 5 out of 6 of Villa's pre-season friendlies.
And a full game in the Championship, just a week ago.
Cant get a game up there and am sure Roland knows the CEO to get a deal done
