VT Supporter Stevo985 40,189 Posted February 8, 2019 VT Supporter Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 Amazing that we got a point tonight. Full credit for the fightback. The worrying part though is we were utterly dreadful for 85 minutes tonight. Chuffed with the point in the end, but there are serious issues. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
rbcuk 837 Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 Great comeback, but doesn’t gloss over the performance at 3-0 down, needs to make changes next game, 2nd worse goals conceded Link to post Share on other sites
dudevillaisnice 3,068 Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 Smith in. Link to post Share on other sites
AshVilla 5,910 Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 Should have been 5 - 2 at least. Two, possibly three penalties not given and the 2nd goal shouldn't have stood. Robbed. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I'm chuffed to bits, but like I said above, let's not pretend that wasn't absolute toilet for 85 minutes (and the past couple of months). But if we score 3 goals in 5 minutes every week I won't be complaining. Link to post Share on other sites
KMitch 1,483 Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 So... Now that we salvaged a point, had a stonewall penalty turned down, and have gotten screwed over by the ref for their 2nd goal, is everyone still Smith Out???? haha Link to post Share on other sites

With our squad, with the money spent, getting outplayed and thrashed, at home, barely creating a chance. Abject and embarrassing. THRASHED. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Sam3773 2,567 Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 Mad game. We were awful. One of their goals shouldn't have stood, we should have had two penalties but we got the point. Unfortunately it doesn't and shouldn't take away from the performance. Which was dire. Link to post Share on other sites

VT Supporter Rodders 5,323 Posted February 8, 2019 VT Supporter Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 I am delighted with that last ending. Full respect to the team for going on. But for 70 minutes we were **** appalling, and had no style. That was a desperate throw it at em at the end and see what happens. They panicked. Link to post Share on other sites

But we’ll always carry threat going forwards. Link to post Share on other sites
Reivax_Villa 867 Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 We were poor but we showed tremendous character at the end. The fans that are saying Smith out.. Hang your heads in shame. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Great to somehow end up with a point after being 3 down with 10 mins to go but that is all. Edited February 8, 2019 by LakotaDakota Link to post Share on other sites
VT Supporter Mark Albrighton 7,723 Posted February 8, 2019 VT Supporter Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 I truly hope that this result has the exact opposite shock value effect that the Baggies/Leeds result had. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Before that joke of a second goal was given, we were well on top and it made us lose any momentum we had. After getting the wind knocked out our sails we fought back well given we were playing against 12 men. Edited February 8, 2019 by AshVilla Link to post Share on other sites

ROTTERDAM1982 568 Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 No coincidence that you get lazy bastard Kodja and statuesque Jed off bring more peace and energy on and we get back in the game. DS wants more energy and peace in the middle of the park we haven't got it yet. Have to say Mings was very good Link to post Share on other sites

I was a skeptic to begin with, but I have seen enough of him to know that he is not a chancer. Pre season is going to be interesting. Link to post Share on other sites
