Our defence looks weak, can’t believe we are considering letting Chester go. Difficult to see where the goals are going to come from once we get into a competitive league season too. Only on VT could a 4-0 win be greeted like this. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May as well give up I reckon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe but having watched the 90mins that’s my honest opinion. Burton couldn’t hit a barn door otherwise they would have had at least a couple of goals, possibly more. Pre season isn’t the be all and end all but there wasn’t much creativity on show today at all, with the exception of our 4th goal. Will be interesting to see how we do against a better team in midweek. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumstopdogs Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Really poor first half from Villa but we were excellent second half. What a goal from De Laet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can't muster a smile after winning 4-0 in a pre-season then we might as well shut the club down and sell off the land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't watch the game but it cant have been that bad?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a read through the thread, seems I’m not the only one who felt it was a poor performance but because I didn’t include ‘Bruce’ or ‘tactics’ it’s been taken that I was unhappy with a 4-0 win. A 4-0 win even in preseason is great but I feel there is still a lot of work to do over the next couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 (edited) First half was poor to be fair though nice to see Kodjia get another goal. We were all over the place at the back but given we were playing Hutton and Taylor as CBs its not exactly surprising. It's pre season if we don't experiment with new formations now then when? Second half was good, honestly cant see what there is to complain about. Oh yeah and it was a bleeding pre season, we won 4-0 and everyone got a bit more fitness. Job done. It's probably best to keep the moaning powder dry for when the season starts. It will surely be needed at some stage then.

Stevo985 Posted July 23, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted July 23, 2018 I'm used to VTers shitting themselves over pre-season games, but I never thought I'd see it for a 4-0 victory. This place continues to amaze me 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
