They’re leaking goals. So John hopefully can go in and sort that out
Alan Brazil on Aston Villa
Brazil believes the former centre-back can help Smith sort out the leaky Aston Villa defence.
Fifteenth-placed Villa have conceded 20 goals in their 12 Championship games so far this season, with only third-bottom Preston conceding more (24).
And Brazil thinks a change in formation to playing three at the back from Smith could be the plan of action going forward.
“He was favourite, 2/1 favourite for a long time,” Brazil said of Smith.
