Yeovil Town v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

That keeper should be nowhere near the 1st team for quite a while.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Home draw against a team I’ve never seen please. Say Fleetwood or Exeter.

[Loxton01]

Frustrating night

Keeper looked like he is a walking clanger unconvinced. Tuanzebe grew into the game and played ok.

Eliphick is a backs against the wall defender but when he needs quality distribution he lacks it

Taylor is poor at best. RDL so so

Whelan hourihane Doyle Hayes all did the same pass sideways pass backwards no invention. We need different types of midfielders to complement others

Green and Adomah biggest disappointment really poor for me

Rhm no service struggled

Grealish and kodija bright sparks

[The Edge]

Bruce just buried the young kids

[Gerrin]

I don’t care what anyone says about his first game etc, that goalie of our is a fucking shambles.
Yes, he saved a (poor) pen, but everything else he did was shocking.

He appears straight out of the book of dodgy European goalies who punch when they should catch and shit themselves at any sign of physical contact.

Totally agree. He was terrible.

[PeterWithesShin]

I didn't see the interview, but if he did he needs fucking off. Especially considering how many bullets he's dodged through his incompetence.

[Nastylee]

Biggest positive for me was Kodjia. Looked a lot more like himself. I'm not going to get to downbeat about our second XI. It's pretty obvious our kids aren't good enough, it's been the same for years. Fans clamour to get them in as 'they're the future' but as the Moores, Delfouneso et al have proved there's about ten shit ones to every Gabby, Vassel or Grealish.

Keeper  10/ 10 for pen save  - worryingly shit for everything else

Taylor  2/10  offers nothing going forward or defensively

Tuanzabe 7/ 10  slow start but gained in confidence

Elphick  7/ 10  competent

RDL  7/ 10  competent but nothing offered going forward

Whelan 6 / 10  I've seen milk turn quicker - some abysmal passing at times

Horihanne 3 / 10  the 3 is for the goal. Zero for the rest of his contribution.

Green  5/ 10  other than the great shot he has in his locker cannot see the faith others in him.

JDH  5 / 10  nothing wrong but nothingvstood out either

Adomah  6/ 10 fear we may have seen the best of him.

RUM 5/ 10 hard to make an impression when our 5ft pace forward has it lumped 50 yards to him when marked by a big CH

SUBS
 Kodjia  8 / 10 positive contribution and caused them problems.
Grealish 8 / 10  as kodjia
Bree  5/ 10  meh

Bruce  6/10  Subs made at right time but awful shape and lack of method again.

We are through but painful to watch at times in all 3 games so far. Let's however can get some faces in soon

[clash city rocker]

It's a win.

<Insert tasteless Myra Hindley related joke of your choice here>

[garyshawsknee]

Not pretty but good to be through. Felt sorry for the young guns in the first half as the old heads didn't set a good example, especially for RHM as the ball was constantly launched high to him and he was up against a giant. Keeper was very dodgy.

That keeper should be nowhere near the 1st team for quite a while.

I thought the same on Saturday.

[Richard E]

I only saw the last half an hour or so and thought we did all right against opponents who had nothing to lose. Fantastic bit of skill from Kodjia for the goal.

[London Villan]

A 5’7” lone striker/target man vs two +6’ central defenders... you do the math.

[Steve67]

Nice post Hookey. Agree with it all.

Need those loan players in.
