Aston Villa v Sheffield Wednesday Post-Match Thread

[Richard]

Ha ha I thougt it was short for Rimmer Goalkeeper as he seems like a fan from the 70s

[PeterWithe]

Not too many players can claim even a half decent performance today, just one of those days when nothing went right for us.

That said it difficult to look at the formation and personnel that finished the game and have a lot of faith in Bruce’s strategic skills.

[FrankyH]

Not many birds in the Sheffield Wednesday crowd, the nearest to a pair of boobs was the fat bold bloke who watched the whole game with his top off.

It's early days yet and we are still in the mix, and this two-week break will do us the world of good. Let's get into QPR in a fortnight and put it all right again.

Clueless absolutely clueless, from the Manager to the players. Why oh why oh why change a winning formation. Handed the freedom of Villa Park to the Wednesday midfield by playing 4-4-2. Oh and that right back had Adomah in his pocket, I’d imagine Albert has only just got out! Dear oh dear.

[sickbeggar]

utter pish.

Terry getting injured is the worst part about today.  Just the usual shit luck. 

Agreed the injury is far worse than the result. Not shit luck though for a 36 year to suffer an injury and not bad luck not ensuring we have adequate cover (especially when you consider how defensive Bruce is)

agree with the time he be out for we wont get VFM.

The only bright spot for us was the return of Grealish. I thought he looked really sharp and skilful when he came on.
As for the rest of the game, oh dear...

[rim gk]

Why was manor road chippy closed,  disgrace.

Today proved everything we know about the villa

Can’t beat the better  teams

Better counter attacking team than taking the game to our opponents

Whelan is limited

Davis will be a good player but canrely upon him immediately to give 10 out 10 performances each game

Bruce sees things us supporters obviously don’t. Not always right

Hogan is not a wide player

Despite all of the above and a dismal performance today we may still go up, on the basis that apart f on wolves teams in this division are bang average

[rougegorge]

Nobody shone today and they looked as comfortable against us as we did at Preston.

I didn't get the change in formation either. I think that it is clear that it is just not going to work for Hogan or us if he plays. He may do better elsewhere but he just doesn't look as if he will make an impact irrespective of where he plays or who plays alongside him.

Bannan had his best game at VP. I don't recall him playing like that for us, although it is a division down.

Went to the game earlier and agree with the comments that have said it was just one of those games.  Too many poor performances and I thought the very early goal knocked the stuffing out of us really.


Although they set up in a 4-4-2, they always had someone in the ‘number 10’ position when they were attacking, whether it be a striker or one of their wide players stepping in.  That left Hourihane and Whelan outnumbered in central midfield and they always had a spare man in there.

How is the seventies?

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

2 wins in 5

Hahahahaha

Just had a discussion about the doomsdayers and then I see this - ha!
