Come on Villa. Win please.
-
Villa were mentioned twice on Fighting Talk this morning, so it’ll be 2-0
-
Expected. I'd like to see him have the confidence to bring in other players with the same system and attitude. I appreciate you can't play exactly the same way with Hogan but we should have enough talent in the squad to accommodate. Maybe stick Kodjia in the middle with Hogan left. Either way, let's get a win today and head into the break in great form and spirit!!!
-
53% v 42% is my prediction. 5% where nobody knows or cares what happened.

At least he looks like he knows his best team now, so can't really argue with that.
-

100% agree
-
Expectant after the Tuesday win.
Need to show we can mix things up and dominate and create chances against teams at home who come to park the bus (which I expect Bolton to do)
-
I hope this is not a war of attrition with Bolton putting all 11 behind the ball and us not being able to break them down.
-
It would be nice to think this will be another confidence boosting goal fest but I'll take a 1-0 and have a feeling that's what it'll be.
-
When does the AVTV audio commentary start? There's no obvious link to the match on the AVTV tab on the Villa website.
Found it.
-
Up the Villa!!
-
I hope this is not a war of attrition with Bolton putting all 11 behind the ball and us not being able to break them down.
Other teams don't seem to have a problem.
If we don't win comfortably I'll be surprised and disappointed.

living outside brum is there anyway I can watch or listen to this

AVTV charge £3 for audio commentary on the match, it's quiet and shitty though.
iFollow only stream matches outside of the UK. You can get a vpn and change your location, but it blocks you from making payments outside of the country you're "in".

FB aston villa holte end worldwide
-
We have again chosen to attack Holte End in the first half. Nothing of note in the match so far...oh hang on Bolton shot on target.

We're not other teams though and we don't have a great track record of doing this. Fingers-crossed we can put it to bed.
-
why has my official stream told me I need to subscribe.......I am SUBSCRIBED...sort it out
-
This is shaping up to be a frustrating one.

Bruce out!
-

I know. 13 minutes in and we haven't scored 5 goals. Come on Potato, sort it out.
-
too bloody right
-
If my 11-0 bet doesn't come then Bruce must go
-
We have not settled into any pattern or tempo. A bit lethargic ATM
-
Blues promotion charge going well
-
This is shaping up to be a frustrating one.
Playground tactics - 20 kids chasing after the ball.
-
Finally a shot towards goal from Snoddy
-
Blues promotion charge going well
Wolves already 2 up though. Unfortunately.
-
Our passing still leaves a lot to be desired.
-
Hull 3 up v them.
-
When was the last time we scored from a corner?
-
When was the last time we scored from a corner?
In about 10 minutes I hope.
-
The referee is a banker apparently I just think he is shit and should stick to his day job.
-
Jesus Bolton are awful. No excuses here.
-
The referee is a banker apparently I just think he is shit and should stick to his day job.
He's a bit too happy to blow his whistle ATM.
-
Awful Bolton don't look much worse than us at the moment.
-
Fuck me. This is dull so far
-
Hull 3 up v them.
Not the greatest start for Steve Cotterill.
-
You couldn't tell which team was rooted to the bottom of the table having not scored since Noah was learning ship building and which was supposed to be pushing for promotion.
-

He's been terrible and just not allowing anything to flow.
-

Not great? It's bloody fantastic.
-

I suppose he could have entered the game hoping not to be 4 down yet. So it's a win so far from that perspective.
-
Doesn't sound great.

Not great? It's bloody fantastic.
Irony, irony they've all got it inf...
-
I will post again when something happens like HT whistle.
-
Glen Whelan is fucking bollocks
-
This is bizarre. They are hanging all over us like orphaned chimps and the ref is blind to it all.
-
Am starting to get a bad feeling about this one..
-
Ahhhhhh FUCK ME KODJIA. Fucking guilt edged chance blown
-
Fucking hell, Kodj.
-
Fucking hell Kodjia you greedy bastard.
I love you.
-
Fucking hell. Shocking attempt by Kodjia.
-
Penalty
-
Yesssss!!! Jimmy Danger
-
Penalty. Kodjia scores!!!
-
Thank McGrath for that!
-
YES! All is forgiven, King Kodj.
-
Thank god for that. It was turning out to be like the Disgrace of Gijón where Austria and West Germany both played for the draw.
-
Phew.
-
Thank god for that. It was turning out to be like the Disgrace of Gijón where Austria and West Germany both played for the draw.
Ahem. Germany won 1-0.😜
-
Hopefully the game will open up a bit more now that Bolton need to chase the game.
-
Thank god for that. It was turning out to be like the Disgrace of Gijón where Austria and West Germany both played for the draw.
Ahem. Germany won 1-0.😜
Ha! You're right but 80 minutes of nothingness after the Germans scored, neither side bothered.
-
We play in slow motion and it allows opponents to get set and positioned. I'm obviously glad we are winning and playing against a dreadful side. But it's just not effective overall. And Glen Whelan is garbage. How he keeps his spot I'll never know.
-
We've just moved into the play off positions.
-
Woohoo.
-

I'm on Germany's side on this though. They were winning. Why should they have pushed for a second goal, and risked conceding, when they didn't need to?
Blame Austria.
Anyway. Push on now Villa!!
-
How was that not a free kick?

He's not in charge yet. Still funny though.
-
Slow ponderous play and a bit of magic from Kodija.
1 nil but deadly dull
-
Dreadful half. Got our noses in front. Referee's an absolute prick.
-
HT I'm still just about awake. Glad we are leading.
-
Dreadful half. Got our noses in front. Referee's an absolute prick.
Damn right he is.
-
Biggest concern during the 45 minutes was the fear of nodding off and dropping my notebook.
-
Dreadful half. Got our noses in front. Referee's an absolute prick.
Didn't he give us a penalty?
-
What subs would you bring on? Sounds like Whelan is wading through treacle again. Let's go for the throat and get Onomah on for him.

For the most blatant foul you've ever seen in the box? Yep.
-

Just because he's got one decision right, doesn't stop him being awful.
-
I just hope that was our crap half.
-

It takes time for some of Bruces Senior Citizens to wake up but has someone checked if Whelan even still got a heartbeat?

Prick is a bit strong though. Inept maybe, but prick is a bit much
-
Bolton have worked very hard off the ball not convinced they can keep the going for 90 minuets. Us being a bit too slow in pushing forward has meant they can get back and regroup.
Expect a nervy first 20 mins before Bruce puts subs on in a similar fashion and we get 2 goals in the last 20 minutes.

The bloke was practically wearing Kods shirt

Better?
-
So, the ref is why we are playing do shit against the worst team in the division?

I'd have gone for useless twat personally.
-
Need another on the pitch with the same guile as Kodjia to open this lot up more. Maybe Onomah for Whelan? Whelan is unnecessary in this match.
-

Who said that?

Only when you phrase it correctly, without implying that somebody else made the inference.
-
Get a second please Villa.

You're being too demanding.
-
That should have been another pen. Their defender all but removed Kodjia's arm. This ref is really errr inept.

How do you know they weren't inferring it?
My question stands, as is.

I prefer useless scrotum. Enjoying the match, mate?

It's already been answered in this thread. Go and read it again.
-
After such a dismal first half, surely Bruce would kick arses and get them to improve their goal difference against a poor side, but Bruce's half time motivational talk seems once again to be lacking
-
He needs to change this now, we are awful
-

No enjoying is a strong word ATM however I am hoping to enjoy it in the end if we win.
-
This is as bad as I've seen
-
Finally David gets a decision.
-
Why no subs yet?
-
Should have been no 2 from Terry there.
-
Close from Appleyard.
-
2 shots on target thus far.
-
Hull 4 up😁
-
Why no subs yet?
That's why.
-
Why not keep Davis on the pitch with Hogan?
-
I wish he'd leave Davis on to play with Hogan. We are at home to the bottom club. Safety first from the potato. Not good enough from the manager.
Possibly Onomah to play up with Hogan.
-
Hogan and Onamah on for Kodja and Davis.
-
Was hoping Hogan was going to play off Davis.No such luck.
-
Both strikers off.
Hogan & Onamah on.
-

One hour gone...
We've reached the hour mark at Villa Park and it's still the claret and blues on top and pushing for a second goal. Ahmed Elmohamady and Robert Snodgrass are linking up brilliantly down the right-hand side. We're playing some lovely stuff!
oh and I still need to "subscribe" but I am SUBSCRIBED........crappy set up
-

Completely agree.
-
Hull 5 up 😁

He must be watching a different game.
-
The sausage use to score those
-

Unfortunately, Tactics Dim strikes again.
-
That was better. Decent move and shot on target.
-
Do we look nervous? Just seen score.
-
At least Hogan is lively.
-
Do we look nervous? Just seen score.
Bolton on top
-
This is so Villa.
-
This is so Villa under Bruce.
Fixed
-
Do we look nervous? Just seen score.
Only since you asked.😉
-
I'm so looking forward to the international break.
-
We look instructed to not take any risks
-
Hull are 6-0 up?
-
We look instructed to not take any risks
We look shite.
-
Hull 6. Snigger.
-
Snodgrass for Samba!
-
1 nil at home to the worst team in the league and he brings Samba on for Snodgrass,
-
Errrr...Samba? Whhhhhyyyyyy?!
-
1 nil at home to the worst team in the league and he brings Samba on for Snodgrass,
He just can't stop himself
-
3 minutes to hang on.
-
Samba is a nincompoop.
-
Blues did a goal.
-
Is that a breed of donkey?

he must have gone home , nothing posted for last 10 minutes
-
Taylor is a nincompoop.
-
Absolutely brainless from Taylor. Straight red for a needless challenge.
-
Great block Samba!
-
Samba's not a nincompoop.
-
A win is a win I suppose.
-
Great block Samba!
Saved us from humiliation.
-
Phew! 3pts.
-
And Sally can piss off.
-
Get in, 5 points off top spot, clean sheet and Kodjia of the mark!
-

Because with a few minutes to go you take what you've got, also Samba saved us at the end.
