I'm not sure if it's Dean's fault or not. Never bring in Kodjia again though. Was a derby though, just like blues we didnt really dominate that as much. I think at moment if you play scrappy we struggle a bit but hopefully other teams havent copped onto that yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Zatman Posted December 7, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 7, 2018 Said it before he has made it fun to watch Villa again. If we play like this for rest of season and still dont go up I wont be so bitter as at least we entertained and gave a go. For time in last decade we never even tried 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QldVilla Posted December 8, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted December 8, 2018 Thought we were a bit flat today, but the brilliance of one player nearly got us the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-R Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Dont think we played it like we did against birmingham, we treated that as a derby and any midland team playing us is going to treat it as such, think that was our mistake. We should of won hands down if only Tammy had of scored in his 3 to 5 chances that he had. There goal I'd absolutely outrageous thievery, it shouldn't of been aloud to stand some as and baggies supporters think it wasn't even hand ball, bunch if idiots. They did play well but I kept saying it towards the end, we must keep possesion more and not let them drive the game, they wanted the equaliser and we pretty much served it up to them. One thing is we didn't lose, but now we need the top bunch to slip up or the game increases again, we could go as much 12 points behind Norwich when they finished there next game, that's four games we could now be stretched to. We had a few players at fault today, not just one like I've been reading it seems lime many are aiming at Nyland. If our defence was on the ball instead of slipping over, being caught way to much on counter attacks, we could of pulled a win here. High tempo teams same as ours were struggling with at the moment. I can understand it as Smith is having to make do with what's available. we need reinforcements in, can't wait till January. We haven't been playing anywhere near our way for as long as these teams have in there way in the championship, still tons of work to do but we will get there. They are tough teams, well oiled, drilled, to do what we do in such a short space of time is pretty outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank god we don't have to put up with the "should've kept with the proven Bruce" rhetoric. It's been such a dramatic and unequivocall turnaround there is just no questioning it.

Popular Post A'Villan Posted December 8, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 8, 2018 (edited) Took some time to digest this mornings performance as I was so bitterly disappointed that we drew in the end and I felt like I should refrain from posting. More disappointed with this one than when Nyland let in the goal at his near post to make it 5-5 with Forest, perhaps because it was not the first time we spent most of the fixture in command of the game. I'll keep it short and what I consider sweet. I'm lost for superlatives to describe the turnaround and transformation we've made under Smith. You never really knew if we were going to make our mark on a game under Bruce, despite very nearly being promoted under him. So far under Smith we have been in every contest, look the better side in most and picked up the points in more than half. I wanted to win so bad today and thought our performance warranted the win. If Bolasie's cross was a little more ahead of Tammy, or had Tammy not fluffed it, we're up by two goals. Had McGinn's effort not hit the crossbar. Had Rodriguez's goal been disallowed. I could probably go on and I feel like even WBA fans would be daft to deny it. F***in' bull****, but it happens!

Dave-R Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 (edited) Albion managers says his team didn't deserve to lose, I would say they did and all because of one controversial moment that spoilt the whole game. I should be saying Albion played to there best and gave us as good as what we have them, yet i feel every enjoyement all the players from both teams made, all that great playing turned to sour milk in the end. If that result had of stood as it should of stood 2-1 I would be saying well done Albion but I just can't and all because of one player who committed plain rite thievery at 90 minutes. The fact that Rodriguez has admitted it, should be overturned, do the rite thing during the game so it could of been disallowed. What really gets me annoyed is how Rodthievez turned round and said also that he didnt know what happened, be knew what happened he handballed it not once but twice. What's even worse is the linesman who said it was a goal was in clear sight of that player. He was standing smack bang to the side where our goal was, then he had the ordasity to run to the ref and say it should stand. Even Dean Smith seen it from half way up the pitch and thousands of fans so that one person who could of done the rite thing lied through his teeth. You would honestly think with the way this season has gone with officials that they are bent and they're corrupt as anything, it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest. If they are not corrupt then they are thick is pig crap and need sorting out. No one wants us getting promotion and that stench is even coming from the officials, I think the officials clearly have there favourites in the league. I so wish the championship had replay tech, it's about time it did have up and down all of the leagues. After tonight there should be more shout outs for it even more in the championship a league where promotion is super important. Sorry if I'm ranting, think this one has really got to me.

Hanky Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 We were far the better side in the majority of the game and created far the better chances. That said I still think we could have been better! To think where we were a couple of months ago, Smith and his team are doing a fantastic job so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotterdam82 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Smith messed up in this occasion IMO..Kodjia should be the last player to come on in that scenario. He's far too lazy and just likes to showboat. Not sure what he gives us anymore! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's far too lazy and just likes to showboat. Not sure what he gives us anymore! There has been games in the past where we've won because of his ability to hold onto the ball or draw fouls. Shit happens. I blame the keeper more than most because if he wasn't such a coward and took control of the situation then Rodriguez wouldn't have got anywhere near it. We desperately need to sign Heaton. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame we didn't have Adomah on the bench as he would have been the perfect replacement for Bolasie last night, or Elmo and switch with El Ghazi but unfortunately he was already on for Taylor. Kodjia doesn't track back as much as we need wingers to (although he's got better), he also seemed intent on cutting inside and going for glory when we needed to retain possesion for the last few minutes. Personally would have had him on earlier but for Abraham who had a bad day at the office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
