6065_Villa

2-1 to Villa just for once Mike Dean does all he can to screw Spurs over just to prove a point

9,000 Plymouth fans at Liverpool that's more than small heath get at home

Yeah big loss to Villa but an opportunity for Ross Mc to step up

It's still early days for Bruce and the team. He started way behind the rest of the promotion hopefuls with a team extremely low in confidence. Yes he's made some mistakes but overall has done well. Get a few in to boost the chances we create and I fancy us to sneak into the playoffs.

Not an excuse for the way we played first half but the rest Cardiff had due to a postponement definitely help them. Warnock has always been a tosser and always will be, the only time I've backed one of his teams was Sheff Ute when West Ham cheated to send them down.

I still think something isn't quite right up front. The amount of money we have spent and the calibre of players in this league we are simply not scoring enough. The interplay between whichever options we pick just looks laboured. 

I think he needs to play Kodger up top as he's the most dangerous out of our top 4 then 2 decent wingers

Fed up with him giving the ball away when he's under no pressure whatsoever. Can't remember the last decent cross he put over and his positioning is shocking. Needs replacing ASAP in January

Yeah I thought he was poor yesterday, gave the ball away under no real pressure and should have done better with the chance in the first half.

Disappointed with the result but Leeds got the luck we have had in previous games. 2 attempts on target resulting in 2 goals. Until the keeper errors we looked the more likely to score. First half the home fans were on the players backs about passing back all the time, due to us giving them very little time on the ball. Second half we should have swapped Gestede with Grealish and changed position with Kodger. 

Another late night/early morning for me, just hope we win for once on TV. This will be a tough game but I think we'll nick it 2-1 Villa.

3 goals 3 points next

Yeah he's certainly not the worst and thought he got done over with the West Ham/Sheffield Utd hoohar some years back

Yeah I would like to see him come back into the side in the next few games even if it's as a sub to start with

Don't rate him at all. He can't cross, his positioning is shocking and he gives away too many free kicks

Yeah I'd say 7 out of 10 so far. Would like to see us score more goals but he's got the team set up better than under RDM. Think he should take another look at Tish in for Westwood but overall good start.

Good first half disappointed too concede just before half time. Second half really good and we looked like the home team. The only concern for me was the fullbackss.

Living in Perth now but my first visit to VP was the 80/81 season, managed 8 games and was hooked for life.

Go to watch Perth Glory with the kids which is the only live football fix I get now.

I really enjoyed reading McGrath's book, for anyone who followed Villa during his time here I would strongly encourage getting a copy.

 

Zlatan's is okay, he's a bit of a tosser to be fair (highlighted for me by how he dealt with his wife & child being hospitalised by playing Fifa on his playstation).

 

A great one, and less known is Fear and Loathing in La Liga, superb book on the history of Barca / Madrid and why there is so much animosity between the two, it transcends football really but it's still a football book.

My wife brought me Fear and Loathing one Xmas, I agree a really good book that covers more than the football rivalry

A really good debut and unlucky not to score. Would back him Wednesday to get a couple.

He's doing ok so far compared to last season. I think he will improve as he gets a good run of games, would like him to shoot/score more though

Yeah I think we'll win this 3-1 then follow it up with our first away win in ages

It probably seems like an overreaction but I'm not the only person saying this.

Absolutely nothing has changed from last season, we still can't win games, we still look devoid of confidence in defence and worst of all we still concede last minute goals week in, week out. All this after dropping down a division as well.

Yeah it's hard to disagree with most of that but I see 11 players trying 100 percent more than some of the overpaid shite we had playing for us last season. I think it will come together mate, we all hope sooner rather than later. Keep the faith UTV.

You can come up with all the positives you like but the hard facts are that we have only won 1 game out of 7 played (including Luton). It's exactly the same form that we had last season and the form of a team struggling against relegation.

RDM can go as far as I am concerned, I hope he proves me wrong by the end of the season but he doesn't look like the right choice to me.

After 6 league games? Come on mate

Win the next and it a solid 2 games and 4 points. It's getting better just need to cut out the defensive errors.

Gardener is no good and needs replacing as soon as the other two are fit.

The new forward looked lively and on another day would have scored.

Goalkeeper, either one looks shaky.

Don't panic and don't listen to sky too much, Huddersfield on 16 points wow who cares. End of the season they will be 10th.

Most refs have an agenda pre game that influences proceedings to a certain degree. As bad as we were last season I got the impression from the games I watched on tv that the refs tried their best to do us in at any opportunity. Some of the decisions where laughable.
