Those who love football here will take the chance to see a decent side play Leeds. I couldn't believ the amount of Arsenal kits I was seeing.... I thought we definitely outnumbered Leeds fans 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post villan_down_under Posted July 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 18, 2022 Amazing experience, flew up from Melbourne for the day with my youngest daughter. Brilliant to have a couple of beers with fellow exiled Villans. Only downside that the players didn't come out after the game to see fans to sign shirts, photos etc. Leeds players did it for both of their games in Queensland. Such a shame as the club are doing so much right at the moment, but this seems like a lost opportunity 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb_82 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Was a little sceptical of the travel so far for friendlies but having read posts on here, watched videos on twitter and listened to Ash Preece updates im so glad we did, opens your eyes to the size of the cliub and the dedication fans put in to support so brilliant they get to see some live matches, the 5.35start was ok too, great start to the day watching the boys win!

Popular Post Anything11 Posted July 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 18, 2022 Have waited 28 years to see the Villa live and it has finally happened (Had tickets for Villa vs CSKA years ago but got stuck in London). Great day out and I think the 60-65% Villa fans is accurate. There were a lot more than leads. Made the mistake of getting tickets right behind the goal and I can't say it makes for great viewing. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WakefieldVillan Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Only a friendly and the result isn't important but always nice to beat this horrible lot. Thought they started quicker/sharper than us but after around 15 mins we were the better side and should have gone in at the break 2-1 up after Philippe's poor penalty, Ollie missing the one on one and James really should have scored for them when he screwed his shot wide. Second half was a bit stop/start and we probably didn't deserve to win that half but I'll take a 1-0 and a clean sheet with no injuries all day long. Stand-out players first half were Olsen, Chambers, Bailey and Kamara and second half Olsen (again), Carlos and Ings. Biggest positives for me were Bailey & Kamara - Bailey looked much sharper, fitter, less hamstrung than he was last season and he hopefully will be like a new signing whilst Kamara played like he had 70+ caps for us, looked good on the ball, always available, physical and looks like he will be a great signing for us. There was a moment we lost the ball and Leeds broke with Dan James on the counter (who's pretty rapid to be fair) and Kamara tracked back and got a great tackle in to snuff out the danger - last season that would have resulted in a shot at our goal. Looking forward to Wednesday's game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's worth noting that Leeds were very non-threatening, all ends up. Previously their grit and grind style bothered us a lot more, so that could be evidence of us going up a notch in terms of resilience and belief. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was worried when he learned to control and pass like that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
