Ratings & Reactions: Villa v West Brom

[PaulC]

It was an interesting game at least. We all have different views but at least we gave it a go unlike in recent matches. 

[TheAuthority]

Wesr Brom? Is @andykeenan starting the match reaction threads now?

Garbage result. 

I’d love to see us go out and get a big name manager to take us to the next level.

Should be doing better considering we’ve spent more money than every other team in Europe over the last 2 seasons

That late goal saved me the bother of going on a lengthy rant.

Only plus point to a draw is it pretty much ends Olbiyun's very faint hopes, which will **** well do for me as they are a snidey bunch of cheats and their manager is a fat-faced gum chewing ****.

If Grealish picked up a long term injury at the start of the season we'd be in serious trouble.

Should concern anyone.

but does it concern you? it's still pretty unclear to the rest of us.

[PieFacE]

Should have won that. Had the chances in the end. 

[AV82]

Deserved all 3 points in my opinion despite a poor performance. Great game from Martinez and Targett and I'm ecstatic to finally see Davis on the scoresheet.

[Genie]

Changes much too late.

 

[andym]

Dominated the game overall, in particular the 2nd half

But our final ball is so, so poor

[ciggiesnbeer]

I am fine with that. Happy to see Wesley and delighted for Davis. 

[allani]

The goal only puts more question marks on Smith.  Why not make those changes 10, 15 or 20 minutes earlier?  Suddenly put pressure on the WBA defence and things start to happen.  Why does he always leave it so late?  Why does he continue with the same formation / tactics that haven't really worked since mid-December?

[thunderball]

Not much better than scrappers now.
 

I think we have the players to be decent, but we have been in relegation form since Christmas. I think it’s now down to set up/tactics/management. 

[The_Steve]

Ref bottled it by not giving Mings a penalty before Davis hit the post.

[est1874]

Not good enough tbh. The injury time equalizer doesn't feel as sweet knowing they were there for the taking and we just did a lot of faffing around.

Thank god for Emi Martinez or we'd have been dragged down into a relegation dogfight this season. Would love to know how many saves, in total, he's made for us in games that we haven't lost.

I genuinely thought we played really well. Battered them 2nd half. With a bit more luck, we could have scored 5.

Also the constant calls for Smith to be sacked, really are beyond pathetic. We don't deserve him. 

[Rightdm00]

Great watch.  Entertaining Villa is back. Just not the kind I like. 

[Nigel]

Great to see the big man back on the pitch!

Combine that with a Davis goal and a last minute equalizer and it just has to be a good night!

[CosmicVillan]

Happy for Keinan ....got his Premier League goal ...had no right to be scoring that

[Mantis]

We really deserved to win that. Ah well this is what mid-table looks like I guess.
