Ryan. Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Why the **** do we approach every game as the underdog? This is Hull ffs! We're showing them far too much respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted April 21, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted April 21, 2010 Not a great spectacle. And what a horrible team Hull are, that clearing in the woods Fagan especially. I'd agree with giving Delfouneso some more time here but I'd give Carew another 15 to see what he can do, if he can be arsed at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I think I read somewhere we have the best record in the Premiership for scoring in the first 5-10 minutes of the 2nd half, so let's hope we can kill this off quickly after half time.

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 My points: - Why do we always score and then become shit! - Why do we continue to play a CB at right back who has no pace, can't pass and keeps giving the ball away - Why does Petrov always insist on slowing down play, Even when we are at the goal mouth 3 on 2!!!!! ( We should have had at least one more goal) Does anyone else see how many times Cuellar could have caused us to ship goals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claret75 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 After the goal, we've been shocking going forward. Giving the ball away, too slow on the ball.....why do we always do this after scoring?? They all need a serious bollocking at half time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villatillidie1980 Posted April 21, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted April 21, 2010 I don't understand how we can smash a team like we did for the first 13 minutes, and then let them back into it by sitting back!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Petrovs been non existent, as per. Really? I thought he'd had a very decent first half, he's been solid in the middle and protected the back four and he's got forward and had three or four efforts on goal - a good half for me.Agree, Petrov has done well. Generally, we're not looking like top 4 material tonight, though, are we? We never do. All our wins never seem to be easy. Infact I think we've only won 3 times comfortably this season, Hull, Burnley (even that was 1-1 at HT) and Bolton at home. So far. Friedel - vital saves Warnock - very good Dunne - good Collins - good Cuellar - Hmmm Petrov - very good Milner - okay, wasteful to be honest Young - not involved Downing - decent. Gabby - lively but has seem to quieten down and stopped a little to be fair. Carew - woeful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dounavilla Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 is it just me or is warnock looking a bit over-rated im not basing this on todays game rather his last few for us ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was he doing running across the pitch like that and almost giving a goal away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentVilla Posted April 21, 2010 Moderator Share Posted April 21, 2010 Warnock isn't fit and hasn't been for weeks and weeks. Warnock when fit is a fine player as he showed earlier in the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Our balls into feet are excellent and the crossing hasn't been too bad thus far. Dean needs to book some more Hull players second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishvillianinlondon Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Interesting half - we were very lucky not to concede and I'm glad we didn't. Cuellar and Dunne got a massive let-off there. We need to slow it down and retain possession here - we're well placed to go into the 2nd half but we need a 2nd goal to kill them off. Collins, Gabby and Downing are all standing out for me so far. Downing??? This is tonight's game you are talking about ye? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 quite a few of our best players are below par and we are still 1 up. milner, downing, ash, carew all need to get in the game more and stop giving it away so easily. best example when ash gave it away in the last minute- he has the ball- plenty of villa players behind him, easy pass keep the ball. but no, he tries to go across the pitch and squeeze it past a hull player who intercepts it. this has happened too many times- trying ridiculously ambitious passes instead of keeping possession. i am also not too happy with ash and downing hugging the touchline all the time- it limits us and hull can close us down easier. it also means stan and milner have to do more work and hull have too much room in the middle. i dont get why they dont play a bit further inside. this means they have the option to either get wide or come inside even more. we look miles better whenever this happens with ash, downing and milner all moving around. allows us to mix it up a little in terms of style of play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbojames Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Lets hope that after a MON rollicking we can come out and get a second straight away. I would get Carew off in 20 mins ish if we are still winning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malachite Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Ref needs to get hold of this game, lots of afters, think as the game goes on the tackles could become even more reckless, the sooner we get another and kill them of the better. Downing absent again. Carew needs to put more effort in. IMO, we are doing OK against a side that have decided that the physical side of the game is preferential to trying to play football. Gabby with a very sweet goal, he needs another tonight, that will do nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
