Starting this early because I'm off to see Legion.

Therefore I'm expecting a North Korean nuclear attack on Trinity Road

I was kind of hoping to see some kids in there, but he's put out the strongest side he has. So no matter let's win the game as we have been. Reading will be a lot more cautious after last weeks battering and will want to bounce back but they'll be shaken. Need to get into them early and make them nervous.

How many good games has Amavi had compared to goal conceding errors he's made? He's been very poor for us, terrible defensively and one to get a few quid back from in the summer, we need a mug punter.

I hope we do not revert to that attitude.

Reading were the better side 1st half, we have the capability to win as long as we apply ourselves properly.

Post by: German James on April 15, 2017, 04:03:09 PM
I disagree that Reading were the better side. Amavi is inconsistent, but I don't think he's having a bad game. I don't get to many games and I'd like to make three more points: I'm really glad to see such a positive attitude from the whole team. Reading's goalkicks are most amusing. Jedinak is a donkey. Thank you.
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Reading - Match Thread
Post by: Jimbo on April 15, 2017, 04:03:34 PM
I'd hope not. As you say, there's no reason why we can't win if we take the game seriously enough. It sounds like there's been very little pressing from us, and we're half asleep at the back.
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Reading - Match Thread
Post by: Lastfootstamper on April 15, 2017, 04:04:18 PM
I've seen worse. We're okay, playing in their half a lot, gifted them their chances.
If we had someone nearer JK, we'd score. Hogan for Bacuna, jiggle the midfield.

Watching on a Facebook link, it looks anything but highly entertaining. It might be highly entertaining to think either team are worthy of a play off place. It might be highly entertaining watching a player Villa turned down £25m for last summer look like an expensive  £250k squad filler.

Let's hope 2nd half we raise our game. Watching Bruce on the touchline, he certainly isn't happy.

Edit: Bollox.
