Yep. All of that.

Typical. Even when shit, Manure are still potentially ruining our lives

Was he only on a 2 year deal with us? 

I reckon this is where JT has had his biggest impact. Has moulded him into the Voice and the Leader of our Defence. TM has his moments, but don’t we all. Very impressive individual and a great leader on and off the pitch of which we should all be proud to call ours. UTV. 
 

He should play every game for us at the moment; just not as a starter.

He hates being on the bench and comes on angry trying to prove a point; often providing a goal or an assist as a result.

Case in point the Home Playoff Semi Final last year. 

Still baffles me how Deano doesn’t use him in this role more often. Lack of available options I guess....

Another striker being Tammy right?? I mean if Chelsea bring on Ground in the second half surely he must know his time is up. 

this. Tammy is going to rot on Chelsea’s bench. I’d love to see him come in late as a loan to buy option worst case....

I’m wondering if we don’t get another strike option to buy, whether loaning Tammy would suit us again as a ‘Plan B’? Having an option to buy would be ideal obviously. 
Still a few weeks off that scenario potentially playing out though, and only if we ‘fail’ to sign an Eduard or Rashica etc. Just a thought  

Has, HAS to be used as an impact sub a LOT better than what DS is currently using him for.

Needs to come on around 60 minutes every game for whoever is gassed, and continue the energy we are providing for 60 minutes in all our games so far this season.

I am really baffled by DS’ use of our bench so far this season. I hate to say it, it’s been very Bruce-like, possibly worse this season in that regard.

Sincerely hoping he has learnt from these errors in our first 6 games  

Here we go...

Not good enough from Smith.

His use, or lack of use of the bench has been cowardly the last few weeks. 

Needs to be tactically better for us to take advantage of these situations we find ourselves in.

I love him, but he needs to look in the mirror and change his ways I’m afraid. 

Yyyyyyes!!!!

Mings next please

How much pcae will Cole have lost? He wasnt a slouch and appears to have lokked after himself, that said if Green can use his pace he could come up trumps - Gabby used to cause Cole loads of problems even when he was in his prime.... actuallly.... Let's just bring Gabby back for the final

I’m pretty sure an ageing Albert Adomah tore him to shreds first half at home this year and he was subbed off at half time by Lampard...

I don't know about you guys but I think maybe we should of kept Whelan in and have Hourihane come on as a sub at 60 mins. Hourihane can rip a team up if he's fresh later on where many a PLAYER have lost that ability to be impactful late if they have been on all game..Albion closed Hourihane's shots out to fast at times and I feel that may of been because of Connor wasn't as fresh as he would of been if he'd of come on late.

 

Totally agree!

Jack and John are so much better when Whelan starts (minus the major error the other day!).

Bring a revved up Hourihane on after 60 minutes and let him unleash on a tiring opposition with Green and Kodj.

Hopefully we are a goal or two up by then! 

I’d have him off the bench after 60 minutes like the first leg. It also worked against SHA away and others throughout the year. His pace will be a nightmare for Cole. 

A bit off topic, but looking at next week, is Gareth Barry injured for WBA? Haven’t seen him on their team sheet for a few weeks... (sorry if silly question, I’m a half drunk Aussie enjoying the match down under!)

For, what, 6.99 to your club your chances of finding a stream could be 100 per cent  

Is that AVTV?

What are the chances of a live stream for this one?

Planning on waking up 2am Aussie time to tune in to another Villa victory hopefully!! 

Can we get a radio link posted up here if it's being broadcast tonight?

Keen Villa supporter in Australia. 

Thanks guys!

Goals from today... How many shots did we have!!! Mega impressed!! we look great going forward

 

 

Performance looks fine to me! Shots, shots, shots galore! Could have been 5

Spot on OBE! Anyone have a highlights package they can post by the way?

He has been shit for Australia too in recent games, but scored a penalty a few weeks ago which seemed to have sparked his confidence. 

Not playing regularly at Palace didn't help his form. Playing regularly at Villa seems to be working in rekindling the form we know he is capable of 

Was listening to it on the radio in the car on the way to dropping the kids at school here in Australia.

My kids couldn't believe:

a) we had actually won a game; and

b ) that it wasn't a home game.

The noise from our fans throughout the whole game, not just when we were in front was amazing, and something I am actually still proud of to associate myself with in the club at the moment.

Onwards and upwards hopefully!

VTID

Much better second half from him.

He doesn't look particularly fit, but he's spraying some nice balls around now 

Really don't like this bloke.

Time to get rid
