Ratings & Reactions: Brentford v Villa

[OhioVilla]

Feel its too hard to blame Olsen for this one. Point on the road at a tough venue, I'll take it. Need better

Dream over?!  Bloody hell  

the top 4 dream, longshot that required us to win every game really. 

[sidcow]

Good teams win points when they don't play well. 

We genuinely could have smashed and grabbed all 3 points late on. 

We'd have happily taken 4 points from the last 2 games. 

[It's Your Round]

Still unbeaten, still sixth

If you can't be good, don't get beat.   A valuable point. 

i was gonna say that.

I do think we will be very hard pushed to get a European place, looks very unlikely, but in general, as you say, if you cant win, dont lose, and we didnt, which is ok overall, Brentford have only lost 2 at home all season i think, they are no mugs at home.

[supermon]

Points gained not lost today. Can't complain with the draw, Brentford looked really good going forward 

[villa4europe]

We'd have 100% definitley lost that game in the past

Good point come the end, awful for most of the 2nd half

[Indigo]

Commentary - Very Baffling

[Icarium]

Poor all round. Cant let your full backs be dominated for 60 minutes and expect to get away with it. Buendia and Luiz only two that looked like they gave a shit today. 1 point more than our play deserved

[ferguson1]

Keeps the unbeaten run going and can’t win them all. Could be a vital point come the end of the season. 

[rbcuk]

Wasn’t the best performance, at least we didn’t lose, just hope Martinez has recovered from illness for Tuesday can’t be dealing with Olsen in goal again

[Farlz]

All things considered that's a very good point. Take that and hopefully bring a better performance midweek. 

[Lichfield Dean]

A draw away at a quality team when we're having an off day and our world class keeper is substituted at half time because of illness.

I'd say that was a good result really.

Well done Villa.

[CosmicVillan]

Take a point all day after a bad day at the office - Next

[Raymond]

Martinez going out changed the game. The players clearly have no faith in Olsen. 

Point probably flatters us, but man we got close to a winner at the end. 

[sne]

Happy with a point after that performance away to a difficult side. Kept the scoring streak alive and got a point despite Olsen coming on. Even came close to winning it in the end but it was mostly a poor performance all around. By our new standards that is. 

 

[John]

I suppose that you can’t win them all, although that would have been nice. A draw is the next best thing though and we did well to get something out of this game. Had the better of them in the closing minutes and demonstrated the will to keep our unbeaten run going.

[VillaAlex]

I thought Digne was excellent when he came on today. Never seen him win so many duels.

[JAMAICAN-VILLAN]

Fair in the end.

I think the injuries and fatigue may be catching up with us.

We need to remember this isn't our full-strength squad.

They froze Ollie out so gameplan was on point.

Fulham are just getting some form but hopefully we can turn them over on Tuesday.

 

[bannedfromHandV]

Probably should have lost, could have ended up winning.

Team not at the races today and Brentford played with good intensity, Watkins was really off the pace for some reason. Fingers crossed nothing serious for Emi M.

I’ll take a point all things considered.
