Dean Smith even admitted after the game that it wasn’t high on their priority list, so it may have seemed as though it was a bit of a free pass for him.
However, that is never the case with fans, who want to see commitment from their players, especially someone who is coming into the team.

The Ivory Coast international ended the game with an assist, two key passes and three completed dribbles, but the supporters were far from impressed with him.
One fan claimed that his “attitude is terrible”, while another stated that “he’s simply not good enough”.
There are even those who are saying that they don’t want to see the 30-year-old representing their club moving forward.
That stance varies between some saying the idea of him being their main striker during Wesley’s absence “makes me feel ill”, while others are suggesting he “needs to go”.
Following Kodjia’s performance when replacing the injured Wesley against Burnley, FFC suggested that his showing highlighted how much Villa need to find a replacement – it seems as though fans agree with this judgement after the Fulham match.
In other news, Villa fans are hopeful that targeted striker will join their club.
