LancsVillan Posted October 24, 2009 Moderator Share Posted October 24, 2009 Awful conditions to try and play football, happy to be level at half-time, like St Andrews I can see us coming out second half and winning this. Scrappy game, scrappy opposition, local derby = never going to be a good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieB Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 I thought Kevin Doyle & Ebanks-Blake would cause us problems... Need to up it a gear 2nd half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 thank **** for half time, shocking, shocking, shocking. Playing too deep to protect against their pacey attack Can't keep hold of the ball can't cross the ball can't hold ball up when we get it forward front men not linking shocking shocking shocking Really? Is it actually a shock to you? you should see my hair!!! lol. We are missing Barry in this game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 What the hell is john carew playing at? has he been taking lessons from his equally inept strike partner Emile Heskey??? get him off ffs i think an extra man in midfield would offer alot more than he has been recently.

Gavin@villatalk Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 gabby - if only he had a 'killer' instinct in the box... we'd be 2-nil up by now if he did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 carew is playing shit again, that said craddock and berra are all over him and he's getting nothing, problem is he's none adapting to it at all, he didnt get a foul for it in the 1st minute he wont in the 90th he needs to do something different, and actually try moving when we cross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjw63 Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Poor so far Carew must be doing his nut, the officials rule against him every **** time Midfield has been cack, that's why we're struggling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 doesnt wolves meant to have one of the widest pitches in the premiership? which would suit 4-5-1 imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walesavfc Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 well we aint losing and cant say the dingles have had a chance to score even if they was on top first half, i dun expect villa to play that bad second half. just hope carew turns up second half cos he could really have a field day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legov Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Dont slate Gabby I think hes done all he could so far. If he had a killer instinct he would be better than Torres by now ffs Carew needs to up his game, midfield needs to toughen up, and we look strangely weak at the set pieces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V111A Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Id have Heskey on for Carew!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 we are playing dire football. its wet and windy making it difficult to control long balls, yet we continue with this approach. no attempt to retain possesion at all, sidwell and stan have been poor. carew has been crap as well, dominated by craddock FFS milner has been good as usual, and both fullbacks are doing well. gabbys hold up play has been good, though he messed up in first minute when he should have scored a massive improvement needed 2nd half, passing the ball might help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troglodyte Posted October 24, 2009 VT Supporter Share Posted October 24, 2009 Although I don't think some players have been giving 100%, I'm surprised at some of the comments here. Well actually I'm not - it's pretty typical. Poor? Yes. Disgraceful/shite/terrible? Certainly not, imo. The conditons, type of match etc have to be taken into account, and some people seem to be missing the positives. C'mon Villa, let's have a better second half and get the three points!

Gavin@villatalk Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 poor poor poor... hopefully I'm not saying that after the next 45 mins MON, do something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
