-
Quite like that side.
-
There's only one Blackett-Taylor
-
Pretty weak bench, but first 11 looks decent.
-

-
We are down to the bare bones
-
What's up with McCafu?
-
I've been hoping to see Amavi further forward pretty much since he signed for us. Its a very balanced side.
I could walk past half of our bench in the street and not have a clue who they are.
-
Where's McCafu?
-
Ex Villatalk regular Joe Lolley on the bench. Still can't get my head round that.
-
Wot no Hutton? Pretty balanced set up but absolutely sod all on the bench other than maybe Gardner if he's fully recovered. Not hopeful tbh - I'd take a draw right now
-
Blackett-Taylor?
-
Blackett-Taylor?
I think he's a left sided midfielder.
-
Where's McCafu?
After his heroics of the past 3 games he's resigned for Milan.
-
I've been hoping to see Amavi further forward pretty much since he signed for us. Its a very balanced side.

I could walk past half of our starting XI and say exactly the same.
-
I could walk past half of our bench in the street and not have a clue who they are.
I wouldn't recognise Blackett-Taylor and O'Hare but I'd be alright with the other five. Walking past Micah Richards in the street ...
-
Considering the money we have spent that really is a weak bench.
First 11 not a stench of last few years failures so that's a remarkable turnaround
Utv
-
Fuck me I've just seen the Wolfman lol
-
Easy win. Without a doubt.
-
Fuck me I've just seen the Wolfman lol
Was he wearing a hat and/or carrying a vegetable?
-
Is it on anywhere or is a WM job again? If so could someone post the periscope link - much appreciated!
-
Can someone please put up a vote as to whether or not someone is going to get a right hiding soon!!!
-
I wonder who will be the first one to go off injured?
-
Graham Taylor's claret and blue army!
-
Graham Taylor's claret and blue army!
with added Wolfie! Timewarp.
-
Legion,
Bree hopefully will last longer this time!!
-
I wonder who will be the first one to go off injured?
Great, I got baker in the draw!
-
In all seriousness , Hutton has given brilliant commitment last few weeks in particular . Is he rested or yet another injury ?
-
So funny that Richards is still at the club. I'd forgotten him what a farce! ::)
With three wins on the spin we can go there all relaxed, and him them on the break. The pressure is on them really as their chasing promotion and are at home. Will go for a 1-1 draw which would be fine by me.
-
I like the look of o'hare when I've seen the reserves so it will be interesting to see if he gets on.
-
Decent team, that.
Nice to see O'Hare on the bench. McGirdy(Sp?) is another good youngster we have too. One for the future when back from injury.
2-1 Villa
-
Where's McCafu?
Injured, I heard.
-
I keep hearing James Bree is a bit special. We must be due a successful addition soon, here's hoping. 2-0 Villa.
-
Hope commentary on AVTV is working tonight - WM commentary is on FM and I've only got DAB at home
edit: not looking promising - the link from my 'build up to the match' email from the club directs me to the Rotherham commentary
*sigh*
-
is it on Periscope?
-
Another Fan of Callum O'Hare. Very talented lad but might be a bit Lightweight. I always love to see local lads getting a chance so I am chuffed for him and his family.
Connor Taylor is a wide player with plenty of pace.
I have liked the small glimpse I have had at James Bree, he just looked like a footballer. Unlucky for Hutton but them's the breaks !
-
Same formation tonight which is good, but a couple of changes. Be interesting to see how Bree gets on and his Amavi looks a bit further up the pitch.

Huddersfield on top in the early exchanges
-
close there by bree

Bree almost scored, C'mon Villa!!
-
Evening. Thanks for the Twitter feed commentary link, working fine.

For those who want visuals - I have only watched a few seconds so no idea if it's any good to watch or not.
Edit: Great minds...

I think I might watch the video stream with the WM feed in the background as I can barely make sense of what I'm seeing - it's quite out of focus. Still enjoying all the singing, mind.
-
really silly question, but...can't tell from the commentary so far....are we playing right to left or left to right?

It's like going to the match and forgetting your specs.
-
sounds like a chance
-
houriane miss
-
Hourihane should have scored. Apparently
-
typical villa now put these chances away
-
Miss Angela.
-
Come on you Villa boys!
-
Don't like it up 'em
-
Is that 'our' Jonathan Hogg playing for the udders?
-
This one is a better visual quality stream but it keeps jumping for me - might just be my connection though
https://www.periscope.tv/w/1LyGBjwPopEGN
Edit: of course, the second I suggest it it goes off...
-
Is that 'our' Jonathan Hogg playing for the udders?
Yup.
-
Jozef Venglos claret and blue army!
-
We've got Tony Cascarino.... it's not fair..... it's not fair!
-
Bosko.. Bosko Balaban
-
Lot of loose ball. Apparently.
-
Is that 'our' Jonathan Hogg playing for the udders?
Yup.
And he's been doing pretty well by all accounts
-
Is that 'our' Jonathan Hogg playing for the udders?
Yup.
The little bit I saw of him when he was at Villa I quite liked
-
I think I've worked out which way we're kicking
-
Is that 'our' Jonathan Hogg playing for the udders?
Yup.
The little bit I saw of him when he was at Villa I quite liked
Remember that home match against man united when we started with him and Bannan in the middle?
-
villa hit post
-
Hits the post. Come on Villa.
-
Is that 'our' Jonathan Hogg playing for the udders?
Yup.
The little bit I saw of him when he was at Villa I quite liked
Remember that home match against man united when we started with him and Bannan in the middle?
No no, was it bad?
Lansbury just hit the post.
-
Fucking woodwork again
-

Yup.

Didn't Villa go two up in that one?
-

Didn't Villa go two up in that one?
Yes
Then guess what happened
-
We're having no luck which doesn't bode well.
-
Fucking woodwork again
Woodwork, left to right? You're in a time warp CJ.
-
They came at us hard like a pack of amphetamine fueled ferrets out of the traps but we are on them like a strong moss.
-
Hits the post. Come on Villa.
It was the bar, excellent technique by Lansbury.
-
Listening on WM and it sounds like we have edged it so far and have had some decent chances.
-

Yes
Then guess what happened
Against Man Utd.......surely after going two goals ahead, Villa cruised to a comfortable victory
-
Score some of these chances Villa.
-
Nearly from a corner. Off the line. Come on lads.
-
Dodgy keeper. Apparently
-
Was that the one where 'no-club Macheda' won it for them?
-
Was that the one where 'no-club Macheda' won it for them?
No - that was an away game a couple of seasons earlier.
-
If we'd played as wank as Huddersfield have so far, we'd be 3-0 down.
They haven't turned up so far at all. We really need to cash in.
-
Was that the one where 'no-club Macheda' won it for them?
No - that was an away game a couple of seasons earlier.
I was thinking it might be 2009-ish. that particular nightmare
-
Very good first half according to WM
-
Sounds like we had the better of the first half but we really need to take our chances otherwise we all know what happens next
-
Was that the one where 'no-club Macheda' won it for them?
No - that was an away game a couple of seasons earlier.
Pretty sure that he got the equaliser in the 2-2 being discussed as well though.
-
Sounds like we did well, but I fear we'll pay for those misses.
-
We really should be winning this, keep the faith.
-
Well that looked good. We don't have a lot of luck in front of goal though.
They need to keep believing and plugging away and we could nick 3 points here.
-
We should be 2 or 3 ahead. This scenario does not normally augur well.
If Gary Thompson is to be believed, we have given it the full on Olivia Neutron Bomb and got physical, and Udders Field don't fancy it.
Small Heath are being given the run around at The Sty, and their Boo Boys have shown ours how it should be done.
-
Sky are saying how well Villa are set up and that Huddersfield are really struggling to create anything. We need to take some of our chances.
-
Yes 3.5 games without conceding let's see if we can add another 0.5 to that.
-
Local yorkshire radio saying that Villa playing well and nullifying Hudds. The summariser, didn't catch who it is presumably ex-Hudds player, is saying he wonders whether Villa can keep the pressuring that they are doing for the full 90 minutes.
-
Fulham losing, Wednesday drawing. If we could win this and win the next, and our game at Fulham, .........Am I going mad.

Only slightly.

Any second half periscope?

What you're suggesting there is something known as 'hope'. A desire we haven't had for a long time, so just keep that shit to yourself for now please.

It's not great, though.

Those Periscope feeds are fucking awful!

I have land in Yorkshire, guaranteed development site, happy to sell you a couple of plots - £150k a piece. Worth more but I just need a bit of cash flow for the rest.

It's the hope that kills you
-
good break from Villa
-
Sounds like the Udders have got those plastic happy clappy things
-
This one is *slightly* clearer
https://www.periscope.tv/w/1ypKdXLVNnqKW
Edit: It's like I'm a curse. He's zoomed out and now I can't see a feckin' thing.
-
Just put a few quid on Villa @ 4/1
Sorry all in advance.
-
Cheers fellas
-
Why would you pay all that money to travel up to an away game and then spend all the match streaming it over your phone? Just why?
-
To give us something to talk about - not a lot else is happening
-
I've got Hob Nobs.
-
I've got Hob Nobs.
I've got some ointment you can borrow for that

Looking like we've settled for a ppoint, Wanker.
-
I've got Hob Nobs.
Biscuits!
Those TBAR lads knew how to enjoy themselves.
-
If Huddersfield win one more European Cup, they can have 4 stars on their badge just like Bayern.
-
Not a lot happening I take it.
-
Fuck sake.
-
Fuck
-
shit
-
Fuck
-
Oh ffs. And that's what happens when you don't take your chances
-
if u dont take your chances
-
Not a lot happening I take it.
Curse you winch
-
Poor defending
-
Bollocks.

-
Pathetic defending there
-
Blimey that's a poor goal to concede. Such a lack of purpose to get out and close down.
-
Pathetic defending there
Makes a change...
-
Come on Villa Show some bollocks now
-
Classic
-
Fucking wankers!
-
And there we go, you knew it would happen.
-
Not a lot happening I take it.
Jinxed it.
-
A training ground goal. Has scored a few this season.
-
Oh ffs. And that's what happens when you don't take your chances
That's what happens when you defend like muppets.
-
Does that fucking goalie ever try to save a shot?
-
I thought the days of switching off were over, but that was pathetic. A short corner and three Villa players look at each other before realising they needed to get out, then it was too late
-
Wouldn't it be nice to see us show some balls now and come back into this game?!
-
Does that fucking goalie ever try to save a shot?
He's from manure so by default he's better than what we had didn't you know...
-
May as well stick the kids on and give 'em a go.
-
Wouldn't it be nice to see us show some balls now and come back into this game?!
Meanwhile, back on planet earth.....
-
We never come back from behind.
-
We never come back from behind.
100/1 with Skybet for a Villa win...
-
We have been good thus far, I still think we can win this.

I'll have some of what you're having

When was the last time we won coming from behind?

kodja booked for a dive
-
We have been good thus far, I still think we can win this.
Have you been in the pub since mid afternoon?
-
I mentioned the short corner ferk ups against Newcastle on the match thread.
It's utterly infuriating,that we've managed to concede from another.By my reckoning that's at least 5 this season.
What's the ratio across the other 91 teams in the English top leagues I wonder?
Just emphasises how much we still switch off at crucial,point winning moments..Grrrr
-
We have been good thus far, I still think we can win this.
When was the last time we won coming from behind?
Blackburn at home in November.
-
Black-n-Decker on
-
Well I have had a few. it is 11.30 here and I see no promise (prove me wrong)
-
Think we're leaving it a tad late to win this
-
We have been good thus far, I still think we can win this.
Have you been in the pub since mid afternoon?
No I've been teaching Irish farmers how to grow spuds most of the day. But sooner or later we have to win from behind, and we did play well first half.
-
I don't think we're getting promoted.

What's on tomorrow? Selling sand to arabs?
-
I don't think we're getting promoted.
One goal and we've got a point and our title challenge is still on track. Believe!
-
I'm still jealous of Arsenal fans.

I was going to say coal to Newcastle but I'd rather he sell Richards to them instead.

All over.
