Targett has been excellent since the start of this season. Probably our most consistent player. Not a world-beater but very good at both ends of the pitch. Links up very well on the left with Grealish and others and chips in with some nice solo play as well. Well-deserved new contract in my opinion.
I do have one thing nagging away at me, not limited to Targett per se, but a few others, and not just at Villa.... the performance levels having improved significantly since they started playing in empty stadiums. It cannot be overstated that the pressure of 40,000 people watching up-close is a massive factor for many players. Some thrive off it, some aren't affected by it, but many can really be affected negatively. The reason this comes up for me with Targett is that in his earlier Villa career he was accused of bottling it a few times, coming off injured when he didn't appear hurt (and then playing in the next match without mention of an injury). Wolves away springs immediately to mind.....
Anyway, I genuinely hope I'm wrong, and take nothing away from just how good he's been for the best part of twelve months.
