Can a mod edit that pic for me. Twitter pic ended up being huge
-
Westwood. Just when we need hard tackling central midfielders up pops Briefcase Westwood. Great!
-
Good luck with the match thread Mr Sox. Work stopped me from starting this and maintaining my magnificent win streak.
Gabby starting. Blimey. Where's Ross?
-
Wow gabby in starting 11
-
Gabby ahead of Ayew? Madness.

Suspended
-
That's a hell of a bench for the championship so if we're ahead or level at half time we've got a great chance.
-
Better bench than team lineup
-
Is Ross suspended??
-
Is Ross suspended??
Yes
-
Well, we all feared and expected gabby would get a reprieve under Bruce but it doesn't make any more palatable. A bit like Trump picking that Breitbart guy.
-
fuck me, gabby, Westwood really?
-
Mr Bruce clearly doesn't like that there Tshibola fella.
-
Wheres tshibola?
-
Gabby..!!! Have I missed a few months of my life ...gabby ??? Wtf
-
Wheres tshibola?
Why is Bacuna not starting?
-
Westwood ahead of Bacuna, Agbonlahor ahead of Ayew, Tshibola nowhere to be seen. Seriously, there's some bodies buried in Aston and Westwood & Flabby know where they are - why else would they be in the team. Fancied a point beforehand - fancy nothing with that line-up
-
Gabby...is this one of these news wind ups that seem all the rage at the moment.

Totally agree
-
Why is everyone moaning at team. Probably same people moaning at the team we had against reading and Blackburn have a bit off faith will ya
-
Bruce has consistently picked 'worse' teams than RDM and got results... Is what I'm clinging onto.
-
If you're still in in City centre pub get moving now as the queue at the station is ridiculous. No way will we be there for the start.
-

Because sherlock gabby and westwood have been mostly shit since god was a boy
-
Surprised Gabby is starting, Ayew won't be looking happy...........again.
-
Bruce is hoping Gabby is going to get "round the back",problem is he will be blowing out of his arse within 30.
-
Bruce obviously sees sow thing in Gabby that we haven't in the last few years, reading nathan bakers interview on the OS it seems the slate has been wiped clean with the whole of the squad and if you do well Monday to Friday then you will be in the team come Saturday.
Time to leave the past in the past and get behind the team now.
Come on villa big 3 points tonight, 1-2 gabby and Kodjia, Sitwell for them.
-
Flabby Aintgonnascore starts!?
-
Bruce is hoping Gabby is going to get "round the back",problem is he will be blowing out of his arse within 30.
That long?
-
Get a result lads.
-
That side, seriously? Our 2 best players on the bench, what's that all about? Westwood, when there's other options, all of them better, what's that all about?
-
Tshibola not even on the bench? Westwood starting ahead of Bacuna is crazy.
-
Gabby will have been told to run and close down probably with a steak pie at the end of a stick tied to his neck as inducement- Ayew has been on international duty so half time Impact sub is his role tonight. Cannot understand Hutton ahead of Bacuna though.
-
I watched Gabby play well but fail to score for the reserves against Blackburn a couple of weeks ago and was pleased with his work rate and posted it on here. Then a week ago I watched him play absolute crap against Celtic where his 18 year old strike partner (Callum O'Hare) looked twice the player,
In 90 minutes he did absolutely nothing including missing a penalty.
I hope we win but I am feeling a bit deflated looking at the Team.
-
Tony is playing mind games, give Gabby a few starts and he will want to go out on loan
-
Weird line up, one I would never have chosen, however Bruce has done enough already to pick his own team I think.
-
Lets win this one for Dalian, funeral tomorrow.
-
The commentators keep talking about Gabby's hunger.
-
That midfield just doesn't make sense. The defence picks itself at the moment but Agbonlahor as a focal point leaves a lot to be desired....like the player himself!
-
If you're still in in City centre pub get moving now as the queue at the station is ridiculous. No way will we be there for the start.
According to the Po-Leease, the stewards fecked up the counting for one train and let 100 too many people onto the platform.
Other than that, the train getting here worked fine. However, heading back probably won't be as smooth
-
Very strange starting line up. Gabby? Didn't I see reports how poor he was against Celtic?
Hopefully Steve knows something we don't.
-
Flabby and Westwood? Fucks sake.
-
He experimented with Richards starting against Wolves, so that should have been a warning. Picking players on their name rather than form.
Richards played like an absolute turkey in that game, so even if he hadn't been injured, I hope (pray) we wouldn't have seen much more of him.
Maybe Gabby needs to stink the place out once more -as he did under Lambert, Sherwood, McDonald Garde and Black before the penny drops. In his defence, I'd say he is capable of that, at least. A shame, as I thought Bruce actually watched football.
-
Tubby will need defibrillators on 30 minutes. Crisp packet Westwood blowing about the place means conceding the midfield, so I guess we're going long? I hope it isn't a long night, but I fear we're going to get fucked by the fucking fuckers. For fuck's sake.
-
I definitely wouldn't have picked gabby though I can see his logic
He really likes kodjia on the left of the three. That means you need a 9. Gestede is completely immobile so it's gabby or ayew
It does basically mean that in the 433 formation we've got grealish kodjia and ayew all fighting for the same spot. Which is a bit of a waste
-
Very surprised Bacuna doesn't get in ahead of Westwood I have to say
-
Oh bollocks. Just hope then he's seen something on the training field to select Gabby from the start.
-
Flabby and Westwood? Fucks sake.
This.
-
Their wonky stadium can piss off as well.
-
Their wonky stadium can piss off as well.
Yea, Amex, more Amess.
-
Laying a wreath of poppies on the pitch before kickoff is a weirdly pointless gesture, I mean they have to be moved immediately.
-
There's a lot that haven't made it here for kick off
-
I was optimistic going into this game.
Brighton are in form, but how good can any side be with Sidwell a guaranteed starter in the middle of the park.
But that selection, Jesus.
-
Bruce's honey rinse has washed out and he now looks like Leslie Nielsen having fallen out onto his face from an airplane.

Bruce's honey rinse has washed out and he now looks like Leslie Nielsen having fallen out onto his face from an airplane.
It normally takes about 5 months of being a villa manager for that to happen.
-
I'm astounded Gabby is still so fat. What happened to all this training? Why can't he shift the blubber? It's ridiculous.
-
Looks a big pitch.
-

That's true. Imagine what he'll look like when we go on the inevitable losing streak.
-
Just remembered I can watch this on beIN Connect. Nice.
Well, the first half at least ...until it is time to go home.
-
Commentator immediately put the kybosh on this one, saying it was one of the most attractive fixtures in the Championship this season.
I don't think he's seen much of us over the last few years. I wish I hadn't.
-
Their right back looks like the bastard child of Hutton and Jedinak. Lets hope he plays like it.
-
Still can't see it with Amavi.
-
We are so shit with throw-ins. Both times nobody wanted the ball.
-
Well done Baker
-
6 hours to get down here. Loads of Villa missing the kick off
-
Well done Baker
Excellent.
-
Already a ludicrous free kick against us and a pathetic non-booking for them. Ref is a cock.
-
That's lazy by Agbonlahor - looking straight across the line and he strays offside
-
surely that was a yellow card.
-
Classic Gabby moment. He's one of the worst players ever at working the line. Always goes too early and gets caught off.
-
Terrible positioning from Hutton before their guy bought a foul.
Then a disgraceful offside from Gabby, no excuses for that.
-
Haven't heard the name 'Westwood' once. 13 minutes gone.
-
Classic Gabby moment. He's one of the worst players ever at working the line. Always goes too early and gets caught off.
He's lost 6 kilos recently though, so that's alright.
-
The number 11 won't get to half time at this pace
-
Haven't heard the name 'Westwood' once. 13 minutes gone.
Good
-
Another cheap freekick, poor from the ref so far.
-
Haven't heard the name 'Westwood' once. 13 minutes gone.
Credit where credit is due. There was one nice pass to send Adomah away in space.
Which is one more than he usually manages.
-
6 kGs in 6 weeks, thats 1KG a week, 143g a day!! How much does a pie weigh?
-
Good noise from our boys
-
What was the point of that? 20 passes just for Gollini to hoof it back to them?
-
The refs terrible.
-
GET IN
-
What a dreary...
FUCKING YES!
-
GET THE FUCK IN!!!!
-
Hutton
Bloody hell. A footballer who can't actually kick a football properly
-
I know over the years a few have suggested Westwood would be better playing a little more forward but I think tonight shows exactly why he's just as shite there. His idea of "movement" is to hide behind an opposition player. I bet he was a bloody brilliant hide and seek player as a kid. He's probably got a trophy cabinet chock full of first place trophies for his hiding talent.
-
Baker turns up the heat.
-
Baker!!! Decent header but shit from the keeper.
-
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYESSSSSSSSSSS BBBBAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKERRRRRR
-
Boom!
-
yes , get in , great goal!
-
GET IN!
Well done Baker.
-
cracking ;)
-
Free kick Kings.
-
Ronaldo esque
Brilliant.
-
Well done Baker, get in!
-
Let's see a dozen now.
Sorry
-
Fuck the fuckers!
-
The refs terrible.
Ill take it back great decision Ref.
-
One thing Gabby can do that doesn't require burning calories is falling over to win free kicks.
-
Andy Hincliffe has said "there's not a lot of contact there" about four times now.
-
This ref will try and give them everything.
-
Amavi is having a poor game.
-
This ref will try and give them everything.
I don't think that's true, he's just poor, go down under contact and he gives a free kick.
-
Good pressing. Hutton looks poor as usual
-
This ref will try and give them everything.
To be fair he seems to be blowing for every slight touch.
-
Just home from work, we're ahead at the moment?
-
Bruce has the front 3 chasing every ball down
-
Amavi having a Barry Crocker so far.
-
If you play Kodjia on the left, you need to play Cissokho at the back.
-
Amarvi always looks hopelessly exposed. Either he's not being given enough cover, or his positioning is poor. My moneys on both.
-
Watching this in a bar in Douglas, whilst getting steaming.up the villa
-
WESTWOOD FORWARD PASS ALERT!
-
ffs Hutton
-
We look like a half decent side at times.
-
The threat is definitely down our left
Kodjia leaving amavi exposed and amavi looking an accident waiting to happen anyway
Fucking hell Hutton give it to someone who can play
Jedinak looking good. Pace looking a threat
-
Hutton is dreadful going forward, Amavi dreadful at defending.
For me Kod isn't a "wide forward".
-
If I was Ayew id be fuming Gabby has been picked ahead of me.
-
Jedinak looking good.
Once again his passing nearly costs us. Other than that, he's fine.
-
If I was Ayew id be fuming Gabby has been picked ahead of me.
Aye. Transfer request fuming.
-
Agbonlahor will come off in the second half, Kodjia will go there, Ayew will come on and go wide, Grealish will replace Albert and Bacuna will replace Jedinak.
-
Gabby seems quite up for it. (Grabs the tin hat)
-
Huttons final ball is sooooo bad.
-
Agbonlahor will come off in the second half, Kodjia will go there, Ayew will come on and go wide, Grealish will replace Albert and Bacuna will replace Jedinak.
Got tomorrow's lottery results?
-
Westwood is playing surprisingly well.
Hutton is having a stinker.
-
Doh hutton.
-
To be fair we don't know how tired Ayew is from internationals
-
Adomahs work rate has been outstanding.
-
When he passes forward he makes the right decisions and they're good, accurate passes. ( Pointy )
-
Beautiful ball from Westwood to release Hutton there...
-
To be fair, cracking ball from Westwood there. Hutton has been dog piss. His delivery is wretched.
-
Whisper it quietly we look like a team
-
Westwood played a good through pass there to Hutton, who again fucked up the cross. Get Bacuna on for Hutton
-
To be fair we don't know how tired Ayew is from internationals
It was only one game in Egypt.
-
Good work Amavi
-
Much better from Amavi. Their bloke was desperate to throw himself.
-
Superb defending from Amavi there.
-
Nice forward pass Westwood
And then Hutton with a absolutely embarrassing cross. I mean it's just ridiculous. Surely Bacuna is a better bet there
-
Jedinak was in Thailand!
-
It really wasn't that "sensational" from Amavi. Calm down speaker
-
How fucking bad is Hutton?
-
Hutton is dreadful going forward, Amavi dreadful at defending.
For me Kod isn't a "wide forward".
Agree re kodjia. Did not work v Blackburn first half
-
Thought Gabby might hit the Bong there, he's got previous.
-
BONG
-
I can't forgive the number 11. But it is good to see him playing football and seeming to enjoy it again.
-
Quite pleased so far but worried were not getting Kodjia involved enough.
-
I quite like adomah
But you can see why boro thought he wasn't going to cut it in the top flight
-
Whisper it quietly we look like a team
I was thinking the opposite.
-
We're still not much to look at most of the time going forward or possession wise.
But I'll say this for Bruce, it does actually look like we spend a bit of time on set pieces. Previously our lot looked like they had only been introduced in the North Stand car park before the game.
-
We're going to need 2 or 3 aren't we?
-
I love 'Bert's' workrate and effort.
-
They're a quiet bunch in Brighton.
-
Ref is a feckin homer
-
Good ball in by Amavi
-
bollocks
-
Cock.
-
Shit
-
Bastard
-
fucking glen murray
-
Bugger.
-
Great effort from Murray to be fair.
-
FFS
-
bollocks!
-
Shite. Good goal to be fair.
-
Far too much space given to Murray - CB gaps.
-
Poor defending - could have driven a bus between our centre backs
-
Good move, would like to see us play with 2 up top seeing we have 5 million forwards.
-
Not much you can do against that. Great move and goal.
-
You knew it was going to happen. Now get that fat fuck off and put Ayew on. Bacuna for Ashley I-kicked-it-forward-once-so-I'm-ok Westwood.
-
Not much we could have done about that!
-
Good goal you have to say
-
half time can't come quick enough now!
-
How is it Glenn Murray has 150 career goals? He's bobbins. Mind you he looks about 50, maybe it's taken him 30 years...like Heskey.
-
keep your chins up lads, long way yet!
-
We were playing so well, too
Under our last few managers what would now happen in the second half would be total collapse.
Let's see.
-
I read recently that scoring just before half time importance is rubbish. No stats to back up you go on and win the game. Here's hoping
-
Gabby's contribution is effort and not much else.
-
We were the better team by a distance. Unfortunately we have Hutton and Agbonlahor who are playing poorly as usual. Westwood's been OK though.
-
Good first half performance that. Unlucky with the goal
Bruce needs to give them the belief to go again. We can get another here
Would definitely bring ayew in for gabby and put kodjia up top
Would be nice to see us pass the ball better. It's a bit 'MoN' so far under Bruce
-
Gabby's contribution is effort and not much else.
That's already better than what he's given in the previous couple of years.
-
Ayew for Gabby, Bacuna for Hutton is surely obvious? Poor marking for their goal.
-
Gabby's contribution is effort and not much else.
You could say that for most of the team. Can't fault their hard work but really struggling to see what they're trying to do, assuming they're trying to do something.
-
I'm trying to figure out what is shitter...Alan Huttons crossing or the trailer they've just had for Bad Santa 2 during the ad break. It's a toss up.
-
They were always going to get at least one.
At least we won't approach the second half like we did against the B-lose. We'll have to go at them again, rather than just hanging back.
They can be got at, and with what we can bring on from the bench, the game is there for us.
-
That goal was the parting of the sea, fkn garbage defending
-
Gabby's contribution is effort and not much else.
That's already better than what he's given in the previous couple of years.
And he's softened them up for ayew
-
I know we could well lose this (lets face it Brighton has a great record at home) but I have to say its a good game of football. Both sides look good, organised , going for it. It is also, dare I say it, entertaining?
-
we were on top just a good goal, dont expect us to collapse though
-
Tactically Bruce has got Villa looking a lot better than the past few years, we looked a danger on the break and they didn't look like creating a chance never mind scoring.
-
We were the better team by a distance. Unfortunately we have Hutton and Agbonlahor who are playing poorly as usual. Westwood's been OK though.
You're not allowed to say that last sentence. I agree he's been more effective than Gardner without being more than ok
Bacuna's energy could add a lot either centrally or at right back
Hutton is just so shit. I can't believe anyone ever paid £9m for him. His passsing and crossing is embarassing. I'd genuinely be disappointed if I was put in those positions and produced shit like that
-
Gabby's contribution is effort and not much else.
You could say that for most of the team. Can't fault their hard work but really struggling to see what they're trying to do, assuming they're trying to do something.
Really? It looks very obvious to me - and they've been doing it - albeit without a huge amount of quality
-
I'd snap your hand off for a 1-5 win right now
-
This second half is gonna be a struggle I think. They'll come out better second half
Need to be a threat on the break and that means more quality - ayew or grealish, or maybe even both at some stage
-
I didn't know we were playing. Saw it mentioned on twitter, started watching and they scored within a minute. I've turned it off now, I can only apologise.

Looks fairly obvious to me too.
-
Just hope that wasn't our good half.
-
I'd snap your hand off for a 1-5 win right now
Tired of these lowered expectations. We are Aston Villa FFS. Cant believe some fans are settling for just 5 goals.
8)
-
I'd get Bacuna on for Hutton and Ayew or Grealish for Gabby. Be interesting to see who,what and when Bruce does with his substitutions
-

Yup. We've had very little success against their two excellent centre halves. In the air they own us, it's worth seeing how they'd cope with the ball on the deck. Ayew is the obvious choice. Still not convinced Grealish actually contributes much.
-
I'd get Bacuna on for Hutton and Ayew or Grealish for Gabby. Be interesting to see who,what and when Bruce does with his substitutions
Agreed. I half expect Bruce to shut up shop and take an away point. But we shall see.
-
Haven't read through the thread but has anybody else made the point that Alan Hutton is one of the very worst players to currently be earning a living as a footballer?
-
Ayew for Gabby, Bacuna for Hutton is surely obvious? Poor marking for their goal.
Ayew for Gabby is a given, but think Bacuna is better deployed midfield instead of Westwood. Gardner improve beside Bacuna and it benefits Mile as well.
Think Bruce already figured this out and the only reason he didnt start Bacuna is his previous injury. We stuck with Hutton until January. Your right that Bacuna can improve Huttons position but not as much as he can improve on Westwoods.
-

Looks fairly obvious to me too.
Erm..get it wide then cross it into a box with 5 against one?
-
Two good chances in the first minute!
-
What a cracking move. Deserved a goal.
-
Great play on the right by Westwood and Adomah, the Westwood cross deserved more.
-
Westwood looking good with adomah down the right
-
Sidwell v Westwood: The resistible force meets the movable object.
-
We really need to learn to create chances in open play. I see Ayew playing a part in that, not Gabby.
-
Sidwell playing and nobody has mentioned the Hull / Milner / Sidwell goal yet
-
FFS. Wake up! How was Sidwell allowed to hit that.
-
Gabby's having a sit down
-
Gabby's decided he's had enough. Thankfully, we all agree with the fat piece of shit.
-
Started well for the second half.
Gabby off? - probably about time.
-
Ayew on for Gabby
-
Who's the bloke with the skinhead in our dugout ... looks a tasty bastard.
-
Gabby off after doing fuck all. How the fuck he's waltzed back into the team ahead of Ayew amazes me quite frankly.
-
Marks out of 10 for Gabbys performance. Running around a bit doesnt count. 3 for me
-
Now watch Ayew setting the pecking order....Ayew, Grealish and THEN Gabby :)
-
Who's the bloke with the skinhead in our dugout ... looks a tasty bastard.
Gary Walsh? Keeping coach ex Utd
-
Send him off, ref.
-
Westwood fucks up and then has to take a yellow.
-
Nonsense booking from the imbecile referee.
-
If anyone cannot see that Westwood is the weak link in this side then may I suggest a trip to Jennings Opticians.
-
Who is this feckin ref?
-
Fuck off, the twat was going down before Westwood sniffed next to him.
-
Westwood unlucky there. He lost the ball twice and then got easily knocked off. Don't where he yellow came from.
-
Who's the bloke with the skinhead in our dugout ... looks a tasty bastard.
Gary Walsh? Keeping coach ex Utd
Looks the kinda guy who has stories from Nam and some dislodged shrapnel to back it up in him.
-
If anyone cannot see that Westwood is the weak link in this side then may I suggest a trip to Jennings Opticians.
He is the easy scapegoat. There is no quality in this team full stop
-
If anyone cannot see that Westwood is the weak link in this side then may I suggest a trip to Jennings Opticians.
I know you constantly like having a dig at Westwood but he is far from our worst player tonight..
-
Its going to be 3 one Brighton
-
Since Gabbys gone off we've fallen apart.......#justsaying
-
Get Westwood off ffs. Bacuna on surely?
-
Albert is playing well.
-
Linesman had a stiffy raising his flag then.
-
What was the linesman looking at there?
-
Get Westwood off.
-
We're looking rather poor. Nothing in midfield to get this team moving.
-
Get Westwood off ffs. Bacuna on surely?
Or Grealish. Either one will help. Prefer Bacuna....he plays both ways. A point in this game isn't bad.
-
Our anticipation and general awareness from attacking positions is dire.
-
Hutton just swings a boot in no particular general direction
-
Rudy might be effective with Ayew.
-
Westwood, he can't kick a fucking football, you know.
-
Grealish for Gardner, who's been fairly anonymous to be honest
-
Considering this Brighton team are meant to be the bollocks at home I'm reasonably happy. We would of lost this game pre Bruce. ... we could still.
-
Westwood, he can't kick a fucking football, you know.
And yet he stays on and GG goes off
-
Jedinak and Westwood in CM? That's a central midfield of one, then.
-
Westwood, he can't kick a fucking football, you know.
Give it a rest. He has been no worse than the rest
Ayew done more in 10 mins than 60 mins of Gabby
-
Better lads
-
This game's being played at quite a pace and we're still very much in it too.
-
Good work from Jack and Ayew.
-
Jedinak and Westwood in CM? That's a central midfield of one, then.
Which one?
-
Westwood, he can't kick a fucking football, you know.
Give it a rest. He has been no worse than the rest
Ayew done more in 10 mins than 60 mins of Gabby
But he can't kick a football, can he? Can he?
-
Oh fuck off ref.
-
He's trying too hard to be a foreign Champions League ref.
-
Looks like he's trying to go for this
-
Westwood, he can't kick a fucking football, you know.
Give it a rest. He has been no worse than the rest
Ayew done more in 10 mins than 60 mins of Gabby
But he can't kick a football, can he? Can he?
He did play two good forward passes for the first time since signing.
-
I think Ian Curtis just came on for them
-
FUCK OFF REF!
-
Westwood, he can't kick a fucking football, you know.
Give it a rest. He has been no worse than the rest
Ayew done more in 10 mins than 60 mins of Gabby
But he can't kick a football, can he? Can he?
He did play two good forward passes for the first time since signing.
True. Enough to retire on. Give him a carriage clock. Given him ten. Please.
-
At least in the first half the referee was equally in incompetent for both teams. They've had every decision first.
-
This ref is fcukin awful again.
-
Ref's a fucking shocker
-
Comon Bruce, Leo for Westie for 15 min and we might steal 3 points here!
-
Considering he's been halfway around the world this week Jedi has been incredible.
-
Jedinek played in Thaiand on Tuesday. This is where it'll tell.
-
Jack much better in a free role
-
Bar.
-
No luck. 🙁
-
Damn
-
OHHH Off the fucking bar
-
Great again by Jack
-
Come on lads
-
Nearly a typical Westwood screamer.
Come on Villa!
-
I can't cope. Walk around the garden. kids told to shout the score every 2 mins...
-
OHHH Off the fucking bar
Archie Mcpherson, BBC one, Stirling.
-
Hand fucking ball.
-
C'mon, pile the pressure on them
-
Need to make this pressure count
-
Our corner conversion percentage just took a battering
-
We have no one to fear
-
Murdering them one-one.
-
Shit.
-
Great chance great save
-
Much better when he's in the middle.
-
OHHH Off the fucking bar
Archie Mcpherson, BBC one, Stirling.
Ha!
-
Shit.
Not too helpful for those with only this and the slow Beeb to follow...
-
We're going to lose this aren't we!
-
Sold out and all you hear are 3000 Villans!
-
Nothing wrong with our fitness levels in this game.

Fair play Brucie, its been a long time since Ive seen a proper Villa team

Shit.

You're welcome.

Westwood must have covered more miles than any other players. He is improving.
-
Murray. 3 Touches, 1 Goal...MoM. Guess thats high praise for Villa.
-
What on earth was Bruce thinking of, starting this game with Agbonlahor in the team?
-
Cmon last minute winner please
-
The result aside it's amazing what Bruce has been able to do in a few weeks. You can see why he has the record that he has at this level. It's the most prepared I've seen us for a game in ages.
-
Good point.
-
Entertaining game especially when we got Grealish on, and a fucking good point at that place
-
Yep solid point at a tough place to play
-
that'll do!
onwards and upwards!
-
Thought we really played well
-
Enjoyed a villa game they were good ;D
-
We were the better side but on balance a fair result. Not many will get anything at Brighton this year.
-
Best I've seen us play in a long old while. Deserved the win.
-
Best performance of the season... well played, in the main.
-
Excellent boys....stevie Bruce you are becoming a master stroke by the good DR..
Another tough one next week. Cardiff poor but warnock will have them well drilled and up for it.
Happy weekend now....
-
Good point. We didn't fade. If anything got stronger towards the end.. fantastic voices as usual.
-
Best run in 5 years
-
Good game in the second half. We took control. Draw was a fair result, though our ascendency when Jack came on was such that I'm a bit gutted we didn't grab the win.
I think it was good to see that Grealish and Ayew both played and we seemed to have attacking balance still. They're a class above in this league, so they need to play more.
Lets forget this Gabby nonsense now please. He is trying, but he's absolutely done as a player now.
Adomah was superb today.
Jedinak was good in midfield. The CH's both excellent. Gollini played well. Brilliant save near the end.
Hutton was awful. Gardner anonymous. Westwood ditto first half, but a lot better second half. Kodjia didn't have the best game but was unlucky not to score.
-
Well Albert was pretty good and the rest of them did very well. Well organised performance. Well done!
That's four wells for you.
-
Only getting better under Bruce. Just a tweak or so to the line up and he wiget the best out the squad. Only way is up.
-
I'm really like the way we have played so far under Bruce a very good point against Brighton.
