Aston Villa 2-1 Fulham Post match thread

[cdbearsfan]

Need to be winning matches like that by more than 1 goal.

Is it four points if we win by more than one?

No smart arse, but teams that get promoted and stay successful tend to win matches by more than a one goal margin.

Like we did against Norwich, Barnsley and Burton? Teams that get promoted will win some games convincingly and win lots more games by the odd goal.

Fulham have lost by more than 1 goal twice in the league in over a year, it's hardly a disgrace beating them 'only' 2-1.

I wonder if anything will be done about the coin a Fulham fan threw at our players as they celebrated the first goal?

Indeed. We didn't create many chances but we took ours. That for me is another good sign.

Well nothing was done about the blizzard of crap Barnsley threw at our players so I would assume not for Fulham either.

If our fans did it on the other hand, it would be a "disgrace" or a "return to the dark ages".

I am sure Xia would be fined if he pointed this out.

If we didn't give it him or her back does that count as a fine?

Villa singing really didn't happen until we scored and second half it was quite constant. Lower North was noisy yesterday, up in the Upper I was wondering where it was coming from as the Holte wasn't singing at that point and you can't see the Lower from where I was sat. it was fun teasing the Fulham keeper every time he took a kick yesterday.

News to me but not surprised. I liked the way they tried to play, always building from the back although it’s a high risk strategy. I was pleasantly surprised that we seemed to know this and used tactics to upset their rhythm by pressing high. I have moaned all week since Wolves that our manager can’t do tactics, looks like he can when he wants to.

Agree, but quite a few of the home games have followed a similar pattern - we seem to lose all ambition of getting another goal in the last 15 minutes and drop deeper and deeper ensuring a torrid last 10 minutes or so.  I think Samba coming on in the latter stages and going to a three at the back is something we will see a bit of going forward.

We are getting the wins but I'm not sure if my nerves are going to hold out for the rest of the season.

One final point. I was in the North Stand for the first time in ages ( great to see Aftab again) and the Holte seemed very quiet.

And Paul I thought you were we're going to diss me after mentioning the French ladies but how could I under estimate you😊Next time let me know and I will make more time for a orange juice or something😅

[Matt Collins]

Have we let in a single killer late goal all season?

I don't remember one

[PeterWithesShin]

Pretty sure Norwich is the only league goal we've conceded in the last 15 mins, none in the last 10. 45-75 seems to be the time we concede a fair few. Pretty sure it's something like 9 or 10 of the 13 we've conceded have been in that half hour period.

I wish you hadn’t posted that. It could all be your fault on Sunday!

Bloody hell Matt, watch the 93rd minute losing goals start flying in now.
