If we'd won the league the celebrations would have been far bigger. I'm really not sure what your problem is here. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screwdriver Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 I thought Smith got it wrong last night. The team that started Saturday should have started last night. And the team that started last night should have started on Sat. We should of been more attacking at Villa Park and given ourselves more of a cushion. We have scraped through thanks to west brom's ill discipline. Andre Green was a passenger all night. He should be on loan in league one. Win the tie at Villa Park and be the spoilers last night. We need to step it up for the final if we want the premier league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they were pathetic over the two legs. If i was a baggies fan I'd be embarrassed by how they've approached the last 2 games, was Steve Bruce-esque. So glad we have a manager who plays on the front foot every game. Breath of fresh air. on the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest...I don't think we can play like that, we haven't got the personnel in abundance to play like Albion.....I think Shan lost them that game with his bigoted blues attitude.....His henchmen lost the plot. I get what your saying but.....I think we have to wait until he can get players in that makes the team more rounded....We have done remarkably well, with players that some are very, very good and some that are below par or have fragile form. We need to bring in more players that emulate the standards achieved by our better players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An extremely high pressured game away to a local rival won via penalty shoot out, I think we can allow them to be happy and have a bit of a celebration. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciggiesnbeer Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 10 hours ago, PieFacE said: We were right to play short corners yesterday imo, try and open some space up. They had about 7 defenders playing, was going to be very difficult for us to win the ball from a corner whipped into the box. Apart from Mings and Tammy, we don't really have a lot of height in this team. Also WBA have scored a lot of excellent counter attacking goals from other teams corners this season. Maybe Smith didnt want to take the chance? Shrug, just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talldarkandransome Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Thanks Deano, you've made me proud to be a villa fan again. Heart, passion and some intelligence instead of hoof it here, hoof it there. One more performance and we can kick on from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 I love the fact the manager didn't get too carried away in the celebrations. You have to admire the measure of the man. As soon as Tammy slotted home he was straight over to the Albion bench to offer his hand . He knows we must improve if we are to achieve our aim and I'm confident he will get that message across in time for Wembley. We wasn't incisive enough in the final third, hopefully, in the coming day's, the cure to that problem will be found. In Deano we trust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romavillan Posted May 15, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted May 15, 2019 Win or lose the final Smith has been fantastic. I'd back him to get us up if we lose, I'd back the new regime to rebuild wisely and give Smith the right tools. I'd also love to see him stick to his principles and get some serious backing from the board if we do win the jackpot and get promoted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
