Available Saturday 30.11.13 @2pm.
-
Villa: Guzan; Bacuna, Vlaar, Clark, Luna; Delph, Westwood, El Ahmadi; Agbonlahor, Benteke, Weimann.
-
subs: Steer, Baker, Lowton, Albrighton, Sylla, Tonev, Kozak
-
The front three reunited. Let's get into them today!!!!!!
-
Thumbs up from me strongest team we've had out 4 a while
-
Villa subs: Steer, Baker, Lowton, Albrighton, Sylla, Tonev, Kozak
Sunderland: Mannone, Bardsley, Dossena, Brown, O'Shea (c), Ki, Gardner, Larsson, Borini, Giaccherini, Fletcher.
Subs: Johnson, Celustka, Colback, Altidore, Roberge, Cattermole, Pickford.
-
Only change would have been Lowton for El Ahamadi with Bacuna in his position. They're shit, let's rub their noses in it and have a comfortable home game for once.
-
Even the bench looks decent
-
Good to see Gabby and Andi back in the starting line up. Come on you Villa boys.
-
Probably our strongest team, chuffed! Come on Villa, I reckon we can proper turn this lot over today.
-
That Sunderland back four is fucking slow and gash. And Mannone is a big step down on Mignolet. If we start with a positive attitude and really go at this lot we'll get the result.
-
I like that team. If we play well we'll win. And given how shite Sunderland are, if we play like arseholes we may still win.
-
Type of game we'll typically lose now.
-
You can't beat a Mackem turn of phrase:
"Gardner AND Larsson in the middle? Minging that like."

Nah, not today peter. Not today

Blimey. Didn't know how much they all hate Gardner.
-
Blimey. Didn't know how much they all hate Gardner.
Quite. You'd have thought he ticked all the boxes for them as a midfielder:
1) good engine
2) combative
3) chips in with goals
4) isn't Cattermole

They don't really seem to like many of their players, reading that thread!
-
Arguably they've been left with more bollocks players from the MON/facist era than we were via MON/GH/TSM.
-
No Johnson for them to start . He was good once
-
Only change would have been Lowton for El Ahamadi with Bacuna in his position. They're shit, let's rub their noses in it and have a comfortable home game for once.
I agree.
That starting 11 should be strong enough to win this though.
Fingers crossed.
Come On You Lions.
-
I was going today but my mum was rushed into hospital at 2 am , so waiting on scan to see If to operate today . Ive been 3 times so far and we have lost 3 times so I expect us to win today now.
Going to have a break and watch on dodgy stream before I go back to George Elliot . Only one link damn, hope this works

I don't know about that.
We have had more time to get rid of them and replace with better.

Stop beating about the bush and tell us what you really think of their defence...
-
Lets fucking dick them COOOOOOOOME ONNNNNN!
-
Got to win this , even the Sunderland fans seem to think their team is shit.
-

Best wishes for your mum JP
-
Should have done better there gabby.
-
I get the feeling Gabby doesn't like Bardsley.
-
Good start this
-
Keep it on the deck, Villa.

cheers mate . dont like seeing Villa fans not well , esp my mum
-
We really need to rip the shit out of these, a win and our confidence will be sky high but get beaten we will be down in the doldrums again.
-
A really positive opening. Best wishes to you and your mum Jp.

Seconded, hope she is ok.
-
Just got in from doing a bit of christmas shopping with the missus, fuck me it's horrendous out there.
-
It's a decent start, but we've not quite got that 'passing a football' thing sorted yet.
-
Fook them up, gerrin to 'em!
-
Same here JP. took my mom down the villa for her 70th birthday. She loved it. sat in the aston social drinking babycham. Priceless.
-
Sunderland are giving the ball away a lot. If we stay composed, don't play at 100mph whenever we have it we will get a lot of the ball and chances.
-
Vlaar looks really good.
-
Yes Vlaars taken it up a level this year.
-
Are we there yet?? Off to see Ah-stone Vee-laah again..bit late..Oop da Vee-laah!
-
Same here JP. took my mom down the villa for her 70th birthday. She loved it. sat in the aston social drinking babycham. Priceless.
Did we win ?
-
How long has Luna been out? Is he match fit? Why didn't Lambert put him on the bench and bring him on in the second half as per Monday?
-
If that little twunt Gardner scores against us, I will smash my head repeatedly against the desk.
-

Couple of years ago I took my mom into the just done up Holte Pub for a meal. She had chicken wrapped in panchetta on a bed of mash and spinach, it looked really nice. When the waitress had gone she looked at me and said 'where's the fucking veg?' totally out of character for my mom to swear but then i realised that a large glass of wine in a tiny 80 year old body did not mix too well.
She was asleep in the car before we got out of the car park...
-
We're desperate to give the ball away sometimes.
-
Benteke not working hard enough without the ball.
-
letting sunderland get into it now - we give ball away too much
-
We don't always look for the easy pass. Need to keep it simple and play a bit of football, these are shit and there for the taking if we show a bit of composure.
-
Playing with no width at home again.
-
We can beat these easily if we stop being so bloody sloppy.
-
We don't half play some shit aimless balls into the box.
-
Benteke looks half the player he was last year.
-
dont Cuellar play for them . wanted an OG ;)
-
We still haven't mastered the art of passing a football, so we frequently lump it and lose it. Then we have to chase it back. We're going to tire easily the longer we go without a goal.
-
To be fair, we look as shit as they do so far. Can't string more than two passes together.
-
We can beat these easily if we stop being so bloody sloppy.
story of our home team
-
Are we going to have to go a goal down again before we start playing?
-
ffs Villa sort it out
-
Another throw, another giveaway
-
The inability to even get simple 5 yard passes right is fucking frightening at this level. There's non league sides who could teach us a thing or two about ball retention, or at least we could read "The dummies guide to passing a ball 5 yards."
-
We don't half have some players who look thick. We've let them get on top now.
-
Riding our luck a bit here.
-
Hmm. This is a bit shit really after a promising start.
Benteke needs to get in the game.
-
Remind me again which of these teams is bottom of the league?
-
Lamberts pre match team talk must be riveting.
-
Stephen Fletcher must be the world's oldest looking 26 year old.
-
thank fook they are shit really
-
Get the ball to Gabby as much as possible. Bardsley is one of the shittest players in the top flight.
-
Lamberts pre match team talk must be riveting.
I think it takes 45 minutes to get it translated.
-
Lamberts pre match team talk must be riveting.
Very good.
I think it takes 45 minutes to get it translated.
-
Benteke needs a scrappy goal
-
Good move.
-
Morning everyone.
Dealing with a stuttering stream this morning......but all good now.
-
Gabby needs to inside more,their defence looks very slow.
-
Ffs benteke should have hit the target. Well played by Westwood and Weimann.
-
Only at Villa could you find a club with three Dutch players (inc Karim, Dutch born)and a Spaniard, none of whom can pass a ball.
I can't wait for us to sign Brazils answer to Robbie Savage.

Anderson?
-

I think this benchmarks where we are, Struggling to break down one of the worst teams in the division.
-
Got away with that. We can't give them set pieces, its the best chance they'll have of scoring.
-
We are frustrating to watch, we don't make good decisions with the ball or haven't the ability to really just dominate a poor side.

Anderson?
I hope not. But if we signed one Utd player, I'd put money on it being him.
-
I hate these long floated diagonal long balls we keep humping into their box.
-
We've been by far the better side but Bentekes been really slow to react a couple of times.
-
We are frustrating to watch, we don't make good decisions with the ball or haven't the ability to really just dominate a poor side.
We need to buy a bit of experienced quality, thats what we are missing.
-
Future King of England at Villa Park today.He has proberly been more times than Randy.
-
no shot on target yet
-
Westwood looking better now than earlier in the season.
-
William , Hard core ;)
-
We're the worst passing side in the league in all honesty. Thankfully we're reasonably solid in defense and have some decent (if off form) attackers.
-
Wills is there
-
William , Hard core ;)
Almost asleep by now...
-
At least he turns up now and then
-
It's bizarre that 3 points today put us only 2 behind "title contenders" Spurs.
-
I don't really want to moan but this is shit again isn't it.
-
At least he turns up now and then
When was Randy's last game?
-
This is like watching two impotent porn stars having a dick fight.
-
fuck thaat was .....
-
Ha ha
-
This is like watching two impotent porn stars having a dick fight.
Something you specialise in?
-
Phew
-
now wake up Villa
-
So impotent in attack today, carrying Benteke I feal.
A let off.
-
Fuck me....
-
This is like watching two impotent porn stars having a dick fight.
Something you specialise in?
I'd say two elderly former pornstars who can't get it up anymore.
-
Fuck off nose.
-
That's a let off
-
This is like watching two impotent porn stars having a dick fight.
Something you specialise in?
Best not to ask...
-
Bloody hell. If that was allowed you'd hardly say it was against the run of play. We really are disjointed.
-
We look eager to hand them the game.
-
Benteke has been wretched. What has happened to him? I'd bring on Kozak. He works hard and looks more like scoring a goal these days. Can't believe I just said that to be honest.
-
villa hanging on oh dear
-
looked a sitter missed
-
We are lucky to be at 0-0.
-
Villa at times you are shit
-
What a let off
-
We're not so much riding our luck as shagging it senseless.
-
Absolute sitter missed. Why have we retreated into our shell. We should be asserting ourselves against shit like this. The 2 fullbacks are absolute shit at tracking runs aswell.
-
They're the better side at the moment and they're still woeful.
I'd get on Alby and Kozak 2nd half.
-
Another let off
-
Fuck me, we really are shit, they could have had a couple of easy goals.
-
Hoof!
-
Gardener really is an obnoxious cock.
-
sorry this is rubbish
outplayed by sunderland now
-
Dreary, dreary Villa.
-
hT poor
-
Oh for John Gregory's magical 0-0 at half time...
-
Pretty poor to be honest. Lucky not to be behind.
-
Gabshley Youngbonlahor.
-
I think we may not get 6 this time
-
At home, it pretty much always seems to be rubbish.
-
Good first 5 minutes.
Very average next 15 minutes.
Woefull final 25 minutes.
Another very poor first half from us. I know we will get a stream of posts tonight about the project and building and time but on the pitch there is very little quality, no composure and no brains.
Benteke has been terrible today, he has barely showed for the ball.
-
Very poor 45 minutes- when are we going to play well for 90 minutes ?
-
Benteke and Austin Powers have something in common. Both lost their mojo
-
I think we may not get 6 this time
You know that feeling you get when you think that some fucker is gonna cop a hammering? I have not had that for years, guess what? I don't have it now either.
-
Not been great Luna looks off the pace.Benteke not looking too confident either.
-
Luna is poor. Benteke is either still not fit or just no at it at the moment. Kea prob the weakest of the midfielders. Otherwise not too shabby individually but as a team we have lost momentum through the players mentioned, benteke particularly making poor decisions and not forcing errors when Sunderland started with visible nerves.
-
On the bright side, promising first 10 minutes.....
-
Need Ads optimism after that.
-
Benteke and Agbonlahor have been awful. What's wrong with them.
-
Very poor 45 minutes- when are we going to play well for 90 minutes ?
When we buy a bit of experienced quality...
-
I'm beginning to wonder if we should have cashed in on Benteke in the summer.
Being honest, he is playing like somebody who either doesn't want to be here or just can't be arsed now he has a bigger contract.
-
A poor half of football after the 1st 5 minutes of promising endeavour.
Our fullbacks aren't quite good enough defensively, the midfield lacks creative spark and Benteke is desperate for a goal.
Ho hum.
We'll have a better second half I'm sure.
-
Type of game we'll typically lose now.
Nah, not today peter. Not today
Hmmmm...
-
Pipe down u was all moaning against the baggies and look what happened have faith 2 0 villa
-
Poor yet again. No doubt they'll be some head buriers that will claim it was an even half but I can only think we're trying to help Sunderland score their first goal away since August.
-
not sure If I heard right = Have we not scored a first half goal at home
-
We've seriously got to rethink the ethos at the club. We lack a bit of quality. If we get into a run of shit games like Cardiff and West Brom, which go against us, instead of for us, we could find ourselves in trouble again. That little bit of luck we had in some games won't always happen. We can't always be poor put pull off results from one moment when we get a free kick or the ball drops nicely and the game turns. These things will even themselves out and things will go against us. We need to start properly dominating games.
We've got to buy quality in January.
As for Benteke, he just looks increasingly like he's wishing he'd forced a move through in the summer. It doesn't look purely a confidence or fitness issue. He's not working hard enough and doesn't seem too bothered.
-
Sunderland are doing a great job of closing us down. Our lack of technique really doesn't help. Delph and Westwood have played well, and Weimann has looked lively. Bacuna is not a full back.
As always we give the ball up very easily. You have to win to justify the way we play. Unless something changes or we get lucky we're not going to win.
-
Lowton on for El Ahamadi please. Give Benteke 15 minutes, if he's still strolling around shrugging get Kozak on.
-
Is Bowery on the bench ? ;)
-
It was pretty even Sunderland just had all there opportunities in the last 10 mins. Gabbys been ok, as has Weimann.
-
I wish he would start with Lowton to be honest and push Bacuna on wing .
-
433 rarely works at home - need Lowton on and push bacuna forward into midfield - Weimann has looked well off the pace - really poor half - lets hope we deliver in the 2 nd half as we usually play for 45 minutes.
-
benteke was toilet, whats wrong with him?
-
1 Shot on target and less possession than the Mackems :'(
-
Has anyone worked out what our game plan is?
-
what tv channel is the game being shown on. Don't worry I'm not looking for a stream just want to know the channel. Cheers

-
Benteke and Agbonlahor have been awful. What's wrong with them.
carrying a bit of timber it seems and Weimann maybe aswell.
After Baker I cant think of a player in our squad with a worse first touch than Weimann.
Disappointing really and Sunderland clearly the better side as the half wore on.
Hopefully they will end up regretting that sitter. We are poor in quite a few areas but our lack of presence in midfield is worrying. Sunderland look very dangerous on the counterattack and Clark has made quite a few key interceptions.
Still think if we can score first they will collapse but looks like it will take a fluke or a mistake for us to score today.
Id bring Lowton on at the break see if he can add anything going forward. Bacuna isnt going well today either so either hook him or get Kea off.
-

Cheers
-
The worrying thing is our lack of a cutting edge. We aren't creating enough chances from open play, and Benteke looks like he's been drugged. Dare I say it? He looks a bit like he can't be arsed any more...
-
Has anyone worked out what our game plan is?
Lull them into a false sense of security first half, second half Sunderland think the game is there for the taking and commit men forward. We reveal the real Villa and tear them a new mackem arsehole.
-
It was pretty even Sunderland just had all there opportunities in the last 10 mins.
I wish we'd played like Sunderland. The amount of dangerous balls they played into the box we'd be 2 or 3 up now.
-
1 Shot on target and less possession than the Mackems :'(
which one was that
-
1 Shot on target and less possession than the Mackems :'(

Gabby though was more of a pass

A master plan.
-
expect us to get a pen
-
Why is it we always pick the most obvious pass, yet we still fuck it up? It's utterly criminal at this level.
-
Better from CB
-
3 game changing subs on 55? Come on Lambo.
-
Why is Guzan going long and giving it away
-
Delph is definately not ready for England, as bad as we are.
-
well the pressure from the home team is there after HT ;(
-
Time for Lowton maybe?
-
This is the poorest Delphy's been all season. He's doing a really bad Reo-Coker impression. Then again, it beats Bentekes dodgy Heskey impersonation, or El Ahmadi's portrayal of the invisible man.
-
Really promising break squandered.
-
It's moments like that, Gabby bursting through and over hits a simple through ball to Delph. Lots of effort so very little quality.
-
weimann's touch again....
-
awful at times
-
Bacuna couldn't pass a parcel these last two games.
-
Benteke didn't even jump for that
-
weimans touch bacuna touch KEA going backwards all sloppy
-
Gabby our most threatening player by miles.
-
Pipe down u was all moaning against the baggies and look what happened have faith 2 0 villa
;D
-
Worst passing accuracy with Palace....that doesn't surprise me at all.
-
Does Lambert just write "huff and puff" on the tactics board before every game?
-
We have the joint worst passing success rate.
I believe it.
-
This is really woeful - need some kind of spark to get us going.
-
Worst passing accuracy with Palace....that doesn't surprise me at all.
At least they have the Scottish Messi though! ;)
-
future king george has grown up quick
-
We are going to get punished by one of these free kicks.
-
Gabby our most threatening player by miles.
Absolutely. Problem is he's having to go deep to pick up the ball as are midfield are toothless.
-
Dangerous free kick- Larson and Gardner a danger!
-
Sort it out Lambert. FFS, progress?
-
We really do lack a tricky player, someone who can beat his man. We're not good enough to pass through teams so they can just hold their ground. We need someone to commit defenders.
-
have the horrible feeling one of these sunderland set pieces will pay dividends for them....
standard of football being played by both teams is pathetic
-
This is so frustrating, just a bit of quality and composure would see us win this game easily.
-
future king george has grown up quick
This turgid rubbish will put 30 years on anyone's life.
-
This is really woeful - need some kind of spark to get us going.
We do mate. The thing that worries me is that it doesn't appear to be anything of note on the bench. We've got graft and hard work, but not much quality. I'd certainly bring Lowton on for Bacuna, who's been poor in the last two games.
Alby possibly too. He'll at least be eager to impress.

-
last game on MOTD again
-
Don't worry, we've got Tonev and Kozak!
-
This is so depressing and pointless.
-
gabby best player by miles
-
Gabby's the key. He's the only one who's gonna do something.
-
We are making progress as a club but it's so slow
-
Theres no atmosphere at these games either because of the repetitive boredom of the performances.
-
if I had taken my 8 year old to this today , he would be started to think its some kind of punishment for him
-
Theres no atmosphere at these games either because of the repetitive boredom of the performances.
I was just thinking that the atmosphere sounds quite good, considering what's on offer.
-
thats it . benteke off. hasnt tried a leg
-
The beast is playing like a mouse.
-
Watching us reminds me of the time I persuaded my Mrs, who hates football, and doesn't play games, to have a go on Fifa. What appeared before me on screen that day as she played, is not dissimilar to this.
-
sunderland hit bar
-
We're determined to chuck this away.
-
Benteke should be dropped. Garbage.
-
Bacuna is having a nightmare. Every time he gets the ball out wide he shits himself and passes it back.
Lucky, lucky Villa.
-
lambert sort this out
-
Changes now, they could be 3-0 up.
-
Not good, off the fucking bar.
-
Change it, Lambert.
-
Benteke off any fucker who gives a shit on...
-
We're determined to chuck this away.
It's not ours to chuck away, James.
-
albrighton to come on
-
Getting worse as the game progresses - dire stuff indeed.
-
Fucking make an example and get Benteke off he isn't trying.
-
benteke getting pelters off the home crowd at this stage
tonev and albrighton coming on. something different anyway
-
I appreciate that you can't win 'em all, and you can't always play good football, sometimes you have to grind out a result and all that. And of course, we're in a transitional phase with a young squad.
But it would be really nice if now and again we could actually produce something other than utterly dire football for more than about 10 minutes of a match.
-
Two wingers? I hope so. It's not subtle, but the last effective side this club had was with two wingers under O Neill.
-
Benteke has to go off
-
If we are honest, we have been riding our luck for weeks.
-
Width?
-
This is the start of a tricky period for Lambert concerning the fans. He'shad it very easy so far. But 1 point or less today and the fans will be be booing and be demanding more,especially at home. I think that unless there's a marked improvement he'll lose the fans fairly quickly.
-
Luna can't defend to save his life, can he?
-
Weimann off?
-
Luna is a hopeless defender.
-
What has Benteke got to do to get subbed?
-
If we are honest, we have been riding our luck for weeks months.
Fixed.
-
two dire teams with sunderland a little better

If we don't win we can always go again...
-
corner come on CB
-
and that is why Albrighton will never be any good. Free gift from Brown, shocking first touch.
-
What has Benteke got to do to get subbed?
He may was well lie down and have a nap for all he has done all game.
-
Hopefully we'll nick it 1-0.
-
Not won consecutive home games since 2010!!!! What an awful record to have........ Embarrassing :(
-
and that is why Albrighton will never be any good. Free gift from Brown, shocking first touch.
ah here, give the lad a chance maybe
the best player in this boil of a match has been phil bardsley probably. says a lot
-
15 minutes left. When are we going to turn up?
-
We'll nick this
-
BBC reporter says its Sunderland's to win. I honestly thought it would be comfortable today. Shows a) I know fuck all and b) this side is extremely poor.
-
These awful home displays have gone on far too long - it really is not acceptable!
-
and that is why Albrighton will never be any good. Free gift from Brown, shocking first touch.

We've given him 5 years.
-
Hopefully we'll nick it 1-0.
Hopefully but at the moment I would take a draw.
-
We need to stop hoofing it from the keeper.
-
What has Benteke got to do to get subbed?
He may was well lie down and have a nap for all he has done all game.
You were obviously making a cuppa between 45-50 minutes, he did have a quick nap then. ;)
-
William could be shagging that Kate instead of this
-
Hopefully we'll nick it 1-0.
Hopefully but at the moment I would take a draw.
I wouldn't take a draw- we should be winning these kind of games.
-
I'd take the 0-0 right now. Who will Lambert say played fantastic today? Probably Bacuna.
-
We'll nick this
We'll have to because we've done nothing to earn it.

Hopefully we'll nick it 1-0.
Hopefully but at the moment I would take a draw.
I wouldn't take a draw- we should be winning these kind of games.
We should but we just ain't good enough.
-
Dire.
-
Has Benteke won a header today?
-
our touch has been awful ffs
-
Has Benteke won a header today?
Not since he won a fucking big pay rise...
-
ffs..all to say!
-
We stink of mediocrity.
-
how many saves has their goalie made again ?
-
We stink of mediocrity.
We are not that good.
-
we have apersions towards mediocracy
-
havent seen the Tonev shot yet
-
I just did ;)
-
Tonev shoots from 100 yards.
-
havent seen the Tonev shot yet
There you go.
-
absolutely pathetic
we deserve to get stung by a late sunderland winner
-
I expect all season ticket holders to get the season tickets at half price next season . The chairmen etc owes it to those poor bastards .
-
10 minutes to go
come on you Villa boys !!!!!
-
Sunderland are shit and we are lucky to still be in the game.
-
Albrightons done ok since he's been on. Gabbys been good but had to drop so deep we've only got benteke in the box and he's been terrible.
-
I am getting fed up of Lambert. Like, are we improving?
-
This is as just awful to watch - thank fuck we aren't paying !
-
What a load of utter shite.
-
Going nowhere fast.
-
kozak gets winner
-
Lambert is sucking the blood out of me
-
Can't remember Benteke doing anything of note today
-
Lambert is sucking the blood out of me
Me too, I'm becoming very bored with this drivel week in week out.
-
did the commentator say this could be sunderlands first away point of the season oh dear
-

Me too. I see no urgency, no game plan, no signs of improvement (defence aside).
-
What a waste of a Saturday afternoon watching this pathetic shit.
-
Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
-
we have gone back some amount since the exciting attacking team towards the end of last season.
all that promise has evaporated
-
Hammers winning 3-0. Would we beat Fulham 3-0? No chance.
-
he hasnt bought enough quality they are mostly meh and he hasnt got a clue with tactics
-
Fortunately I am not watching but feel for those who are, following this thread has been very draining and dull.
-
All credit to the paying fans who fork out to be entertained by these clowns. This side is every bit as dull as Mcleish's, I don't give a fuck whatever a happy clapper tries to tell me.
-
4 minutes to win it
-
Jesus why do we always put crosses in from such poor positions?
-
Cum on daa Vee-laah!
-
I am not even sure the players are playing for him. There is NO urgency at all. I thought the whole point of the project was 'young and hungry' players moulded by a young manager.
I don't see that at all.
-
Embarassing
-
Ive been pro Lambert but this can not go on . Its dull
-
this is absolute and utter fucking dross. We will hold the record for the most appearances as the last game on MOTD. He has joked about it before but its every other fucking game. I don't want lambert here anymore
-

I see young, very average players with not many stand out attributes being led by a manager who is learning how to be a premier league manager.
-
RUBBISH !!!!!!
-
Yes we are boring
-
How many direct shots at goal? says it all
-
Thing is we have nobody to come in .I was at Villa Park on Tuesday night watching the reserves play Fulham. We had Bowery and Helenius up front and believe me they were dreadful .

I am convinced they are! Technical limitations yes but for me they are playing for him. Did we just lose the last 4? I was very disappointed today but not surprised, having watched them for many many years I am used to us struggling against teams we are bound to beat, I just knew Sunderland would start to improve a tad under a new manager. I have just one main concern after today, Benteke worried me, is it just confidence? Movement was the worst I have seen from him.
-
Positive spin on things...cause I am royally pissed off with the cretins behind me who slag players off before they even come on...we are playing crap with no fluidity and yet we still getting results not a great one, but a point on the board and we are no where near danger, nor will we be. It will click, we will get players and we go again.
