Worse thing is 6 points might not even be enough.

Sums up the season. Lack of game experience. Naivety will get us relegated.  I think on paper there are 3 worse teams than us but have thrown so, so, so, many points away this season its ridiculous.  Win the last 2 or that's it.

Not beating Newcastle was the final blow. This is just a pleasant rally before the inevitable. Its like the final lucid moments of a terminally ill patient about to pop their clogs.

Championship football. 46 games in a condensed season is going to be interesting.

Gutted, eldest in tears, as said many have said, its the hope that kills you 

[MaVilla]

Just can't believe we bottled it AGAIN!

when will we learn that after scoring a goal, sitting deeper and deeper, and giving the opposition time on the ball always seems to end in disaster.

[AVTuco]

This team is not capable of holding a lead. It's mental weakness, and comes from inexperience, lower league players, and soft manager. They want to hang onto the win so bad it turns against them. Frustrating and expected.

If ever a match summed up our ‘wingers’. 

Did they need summing up.

Can't help but think that if Trez was on the end of that cross that El Ghazi missed, he would have probably scored it, given his record of nicking goals at the far post.

Samatta and El Ghazi are both atrocious top flight footballers - El Ghazi might do a job for us next season but Samatta can do one, he's awful. In fact, let's get rid of all the crap that we purchased from the Belgian league - Wesley is no Benteke and Nakamba is rubbish as well.

I think we've made it very hard for ourselves now to stay up.

He is so weak. He was scared to attack that ball. Andy Gray would have sent the ball, the defender and the keeper into the net. AEG can eff off. He is a pussy

And VAR would have disallowed it for a foul sadly.

[AvonVillain]

We are showing fight, we're just not very good.

Watford to lose every game. Villa to pick up 4 more points.

*runs*

The what ifs from this game are agonising and could haunt us for years

So Walcott makes targett look like an aerial duel between Big Dunc and alan wright.

That was a shocking attempt at preventing Danger from targett....lacked bravery and conviction.

Did el ghazi miss another sitter?

No. We just made it up.

Season of what ifs, I think.

Another late goal, so near to getting the win that we needed. Typical Walcott scored. How did El Ghazi miss that one? He actually cleared it!

[A'Villan]

I'm shattered for them today.

It's passed 5am here and I've got a full day ahead, but if I can leave the VT forum with this..

Despite the disappointment and consequences this result brings, doesn't make every aspect of the game we saw today poor. It really doesn't.

Grit your teeth if you must but don't give in to the urge to give up on Villa, especially if you're criticising the team for doing just that. Somebody's got to keep the faith.

Be vocal about how you feel and think about the team or individuals, but just remember that disappointment and a good performance are not mutually exclusive.

Gutted for you,didn’t deserve that kick in the bollox 

[It's Your Round]

We looked okay in the first half, Luiz and Grealish linked up well but were short of any half decent options. We missed what we all said we needed back in August, a decent striker and a decent winger. Samatta and Trezeguet were terrible in the final third. Then after going a goal up we do a Villa and stop playing. Inevitable really. Just annoying that you get your hopes up, 10 minutes from time and we’re one point from safety, but they can’t hold on. Again. 
 

I really can’t see us staying up now, much as I’d love to. I’m afraid that’s it now, we are the architects of our own downfall and will get what we deserved. It’s a shame as with another year and some key additions, there is potential in this team.

If you think the manager is the problem after watching the amount of personal mistakes and lack of individual skill we've seen this season I'm not sure football is the sport for you.
