Poor result but i'm not concerned. We concede a freak goal within the first minute which 99 times out of a 100 wouldn't go in. We lose our best defender in the first half. I think any team would be shocked. Wednesday defended well, and even though we pushed hard in the second half and applied a lot of pressure, we just couldn't break through. 

Having said that, we have to bounce back with a win next time out.

[Rodders]

utter garbage, no excuses. more shit, more inconsistency. The idea we'll do well enough REGULARLY ENOUGH to be a top 2 side is a joke. I truly cannot stand Bruce - yet no doubt he will continue to do just enough to stay around 5th and 6th, whilst sides with lesser resources get to contend for the top prize. **** hell.

Just one of those days didnt perform at all,Hogans brilliant at running round in circles

[Ikantcpell]

Aston Villa, been ruining my saturdays since 1994 

[NoelVilla]

Boring is the word. No MOTM. Referees are useless in this division.

[Reivax_Villa]

Unlucky Bruce and the entire team.

We win some and lose some. Let's go again.

It was nice to see O'Hare with an assist.

This game proves that Terry is by far our most important player.

Clueless, to say the least .

[osmark86]

Samba making ammends for being a shit defender by proving to us all that he belongs up top. The pub footie tactics worked

To be fair they are useless in the PL aswell.

Start O’Hare and Grealish next time and we might look like a football team. Promising signs from both of them. 

It’s looking more and more likely that Hogan won’t be a success here. I’m sure he’s a good player but it’s just not happening. 

I hope Terry isn’t out too long. 

I’m certainly no fan of Steve Bruce but today was just one of those days that happen and you need to move on from and forget.

We were due a game like this. The hex was put on us after 17 seconds today.

Hourihane MOTM always trying never stops running, chases back, looks to make things happen.

Luckily we have the break now, time to get players back. Hopefully JT not too serious. 

Hogan got his chance, didnt really take it. Would be ecstatic if we could get some money back for him, Gabby is more useful in all seriousness.

[JAMAICAN-VILLAN]

We gelled yet?

 

On a serious note, just a terrible day at the office.

Only positives, Ohare always looks up for quick pass and move.

Grealish is back, and might be useful.

Hopefully Terrys injury is not too serious and the International break will give him enough time to heal.

Obvious negative. We have bottled the chance to make progress towards to top teams. Keep it up and soon we will just be battling for playoffs.

Disappointing.

Bruce **** up again (last time was wolves)! Whelan, Hutton, Elmo, Adomah all very leggy. Changed shape when 4-3-3 was working for us. Started an injured player (Snodgrass). Brought on Grealish way too late.  To be far though Wednesday wouldn't have been easy to beat regardless, they were very organised and defended very well. The first goal was a wonder goal can't really fault anyone for that.

[Supervillan78]

Didn't play at our best but we were a little unlucky IMO. They had 2 shots on target all game and scored them both. Terry's a big miss. hope he's not out for long.

[PieFacE]

Yeah, Bruceball in full effect there. I hate us playing 442 and do not understand the fascination with fans wanting us to play it. We always look so much better with a 3 man midfield as it gives the wingers more license to go forward. I really don't think Hogan and Davis worked well together, in fact Samba was a better striker than Hogan. Time to get rid of Hogan, in the interest of both parties.

 

Jack looked good when he came on, about the only positive I can think of.

Ironically if were lined up with O'hare, Onomah and Grealish in attacking midfield Hogan would be the best option to play in front of them and his clever movement combined with the awareness to the aforementioned trio would carve out a lot of openings.

Onomah and Hourihane are so important to the centre of the park. Lack one of them and the drive from midfield isn't there. Adomah is just direct, Snodgrass is just a good crosser and set piece taker. Onomah was providing the creativity without him we can only hit teams on the counter at best.

Like I have always said someone high up is against us. They show us in the away games hoping we lose then they have us play Sunday, Wednesday and bloody today. Both our opponents Preston and Sheffield Wednesday had 24hrs rest on.us. It's actual disgrace. This game should have been played tomorrow.

onto the game first half very poor. Hogan was absolutely useless. For 15m I expect a player to do more than run last one player and then turn his back. 15m donkey. Sell him come January.

davis was bad, his first touch was woeful and cost us at critical points of the game. Hourihane was crap also fouling waving his arms around all the time.

o hare, Hutton and grealish looked good. The rest were average to poor
