Ratings & Reactions: Villa v Brentford

[foreveryoung]

In reality got a good side here, Brentford will be challenging this season, Bolasie an that other geezer will make us better an keep Green off the pitch, he can't handle the pressure. 

 

[Hoof hearted]

Glen Whelan was outstanding tonight btw, I look forward to his debut at centre half this weekend.

Good first 60 minutes then reverted to type.

Bruce out if we have any aspirations of going up this year.

Don't agree, we just put in our best performance of the season, which bar the ridiculous defensive mistakes should have been a win and we've got some exciting new players to join. Suggesting he gets sacked now is absurd and indicates a rigidly stubborn mindset, ignorant of the developing story... In my opinion.

Didn't think Whelan did enough today protecting the back 4. Would much rather Jedi in that position. 

Need a new CB desperately.

[Junxs]

Played well, play like this every week and we will go up comfortably.

Jimmy D man of the match, good to have the real one back at last

[VillanousOne]

signing all the wingers is good, but we need a defence to go with that

[Jas10]

KODJIAAAAAA!!!!!

He’s back!!

Great game but we deserved a win. Need to be more clinical and create clear chances. Hopefully the 2 new boys will make a big difference.

Oh and McGinn is the man.

Fergie time is dead... Long live Brucie time!

Defence lets us down , Keeper saved us tbf, Bruce needs to stop trying to accomadate his mates and pick the best team to win a game

Thought we looked good for the most part of the game tbh and it's our defence that is bringing us down. This needs to addressed before the window closes.

Dear Mr Bruce,

 

Please read this post. Don’t be tempted to hoover up all the attacking players (and then convert them to RBs). 

 

We we just want a CB. And maybe an LB.

 

thanks,

30 and 3 quarters 

 

PS: you most certainly will not fit down my chimney. No that is not a euphemism.

I think there's been a massive over reaction on here tonight... 

The Jekyll and Hyde nature of the match thread was ridiculous.  Somebody even called the keeper Gollini mk 2

Match thread closed again while I'm still watching the game and posting but hey ho! An unacceptable result and Bruce needs to get it sorted otherwise we will be stuck in this noddy league for another season.

Yup, very fine margins, the small decisions/results which could be the difference between promotion and relegation.

[BigAl]

If we play like that the rest of the season we have a great chance of getting up a lot of positives there and still unbeaten the players attitude was fantastic gave it everything.

I totally disagree. Whelan had a decent game. Jedi is too slow and can't pass. He is a massive liability.

[Supervillan78]

We'll destroy teams going forward but that defence gives me bloody nightmares!

[tomav84]

superb performance...i would have taken 4 points from these two home games, keeps us up there. i dont see green playing again this season barring an injury crisis but we do really need a CB. surely elphick has to have a chance?

[London Villa]

I thought people on here were very harsh on our keeper.

Defence needs tightening up.

people complained last week that Bruce played hoof ball, today moaned that we used the flanks.

McGinn and Jack will rip this division up and can’t wait to see them with the new wingers. 

Kodja is back.

thought we looked brilliant when we were pressing them so future looks good to me for this season. Think Bruce might pull it off.

some of the comments in the match thread were just insane, honestly, some of you lot are absolutely mental.

Referee was utter dogshit. 

As for their striker, I can5 even bear to type the weasels name. He was an utter disgrace.

[Kiwivillan]

We retain our unbeaten streak when Whelan starts. I think it's 11 now

Great late equaliser! We deserved the win, but that’s football.

I think overall the draw probably fair due to that 15 minute spell where we fell apart. But we should really have put the game away when so on top.
