That Milwall team is shit, no excuses, match them for workrate and effort and we will fuck them up.
-
am i being incredibly daft or is the AVTV home screen hard to navigate? I have paid to watch the match but can't see the link to the screening?
-
just as i thought, incredibly daft
-

I can’t make the game today

It’s on Live Match Centre. I got on quite easily. Just watching it countdown.

I’m guessing the crowd is going to be very poor as well Mr Sox
-
Pleased about Lansbury, gutted no Jack as I had him first scorer
-
Forest 1-0 Bolton
-

Poor/strange decision not to start Grealish. Ideal game for him you would think

Is he match fit. Lots of games coming up to be fair.
-
Adomah should have crossed that one for Snoddy.
-
Blues losing at Fulham :)
-
We look careless in the final third and they’ve caught us on the break a couple of times. Not very convincing. Millwall aren’t a good side but we need to get in front soon to allow us to play with less tension.
-
What a save from Johnstone!
-
Fuck me nearly a goal for them. Good save by Sam
-
Good stop from Johnston there.
-
Great save Johnstone
-
We are all over the place at the moment
-
This is very poor right now.
-
So close to 1-0.
-
Fuck Davis should have done better
-
Davis had a very poor first 15 mins and he is key for this formation...and as I write he has another weak shot.
-
Fuck Davis should have done better
Good tackle to put it out for a corner.
-
We have been pathetic for the last 15 minutes. Davis desperately needs to improve his end product, as he looks like a less effective Heskey at the moment.
-
This is a bit shit.
-
Could be Hogan's day should be come on. Come on Villa ffs
-
How Grealish has not started this one after his display at Leeds is beyond me. We have no ability to actually pass and move.
-
The Championship is exciting this afternoon. Only 2 goals in all of the games. Fulham winning 1-0 vs Blues and Forest 1 up vs Bolton.
-
We lack quality. It’s all very unplanned and rushed.
-
What a load of dump this is
-
They are killing us on the break. If Millwall were even half way decent we’d be two down already.
-
At some point they'll work out how to play that counter attack and we'll be FUBAR.
-
They are going to win this easily. We are getting caught on the counter over the top literally every 2 minutes. Fucking wank.
-
Snodgrass is absolute blues today.
-
Aaarrrgggghhhh so frustrating
-
Another save from Sam from a Millwall counter.
Absolutely crap first half
-
absolute gash
-
Fuck me. Pass the ball without blind panic!
-
Bruce is going to have a very sore throat after his half-time team talk.
-
Best news all afternoon. Only 1 minute of added time
-
What a truly dreadful first half.
-
That last passage of play showed better than anything that we need Grealish instead of Onomah.
-
Best news all afternoon. Only 1 minute of added time
Sad but true.
-
Sounds rubbish.
-
Thank fuck thats over for 15 minutes. Christ we are bad. Like really, really bad.
-
In lots of games this season (too many games) we have had a good half and a poor half. I sincerely hope that is repeated today and we improve massively in the second half.
-
This won't end in a draw.
-
Grealish and Hogan need to come on, we are wide open at the back so Whelan is not doing his job properly either.
-
We're there boos? Sounds like our lot deserve a round of fucks at least.
-
Lansbury, Johnstone and Hutton doing ok, the rest need to pull their collective fingers out.
-
We have been pathetic for the last 15 minutes.
We looked in complete control for the first 20 minutes but the remaining 25 were all Millwall. We're lucky to be going in 0-0. Despite the squad and talent we have, we're still looking like a poor side.
-

That might have been the good half :o
-
If we were playing a decent team we'd be 0-2 down now. Luckily their final ball is shit.
-
No shots on target to Millwall with 4.
Sort it out Bruce
-
For most of the time under Bruce we have looked slow, devoid of ideas and creativity. Then once in a while we get our nuts tickled by a pleasant display of open, attacking football. Today is the former where we plod along and are just so fucking sloppy in possession. We’ve allowed Millwall to look way better than they are and that they are who they are means they are not winning.
-
Johnstone has been our saviour again. Even Chester lost the ball sloppily a couple of times.
We are way too narrow in possession though, and need to be looking to draw them out not let them sit deep and counter.
-
What a terrible first half. They pressed us deep in our half early on and we panicked. They counter attack and we can't cope. We get 3 decent chances but none were on target and we will pay for that. There's no width we just run into traffic around the edge of the box. We can't do that, we're not Barcelona.
Grealish has to come on for Onomah which of course he won't do that until it's too late.
I sincerely hope that was our bad half.
-
We miss Elohmady crossing from right back too, I accept Hutton is doing well but he can't cross a ball for shit.
-
Yipee, the second half is about to start ::) :-\
-
6 months ago I would have had no faith in us in this position but Bruce and the ream seem to have learnt a lot recently so I am not too despondent at the moment.
-
Where is everyone? So lonely here.
In mourning for Johnny Hallyday. And Christmas shopping with SWMBO in Perpignan.
-
He needs Grealish on now. Not ten mins from the end.
-
Come on you Lions!
-
They are back out. Yey.
-

You were better off staying at the shops BE. Anyway hopefully a bit more cheer in the second half.
-
Starting as we finished the first half.
Unfortunately.
-
2 more minutes of us hardly touching the ball and looking utterly clueless when we do.
-
Any changes?
-
Where is everyone? So lonely here.
Newport Pagnell v Deeping Rangers 1-1
think I made the right choice so far
-
Apparently we didn't have a shot on target in the first half.
-
Bloody hell, that almost looked like us playing football.
Still well wide from Albert mind.
-
Poor shot from Albert
-
We have to get Grealish on. He's looked decent in his cameos, really surprised he hasn't started yet.
-
Think he could not work out whether to shoot or cross.
-
Apparently we didn't have a shot on target in the first half.
No apparently about it. Bruce out!
-
Criminal if we drop points today.
Performance certainly merits it so far. This will be 1-0 either way.
-
Oh do fuck off Snodgrass. That was utter wank.
-
Grealish coming on for Snodgrass.
-
Grealish coming on.
Thank goodness. At last.
-
Promising move breaks down with Onomah, again
-
Millwall crowd trouble apparently.
-
Honestly thank fucking goodness Millwall are shit. Jack on for a very poor Snodgrass.
-
the lack of quality and composure from our players is disgraceful
-
Millwall crowd trouble apparently.
Correct
-
Millwall crowd trouble apparently.
Johnstone belted the ball straight into their fans.
-
Grealish gets the ball and there is nobody moving in front of him
-
davis seems fucked today
-
Well expect Wolves to win their game now as Lee Cattermole is sent off. I bet you’ve never heard that one before.
-
My god we are bad today.
-
How is it Wolves opossition always get reduced to10 men.
Leeds winning
Derby winning
Middlesbrough winning
-
Millwall crowd trouble apparently.
Johnstone belted the ball straight into their fans.
He cleared a ball into the stands. Nothing intentional about it.
-
It dosen't take much to set those caged animals off.
-
davis seems fucked today
I thought he did in the last game as well. He's probably never played so many games before. We need to get someone in on loan in January.
-

Johnstone belted the ball straight into their fans.

Only Millwall fans could interpret the opposition keeper clearing a ball as having a go at them.
-
Decent shot from Grealish.
Finally a shot on target.
-
Grealish bends one from outside the box and the keeper makes a good save
-
Decent counter-attack from us for once
-
Their 9 has worked his bollocks off.
-
Elmo coming on for Hutton
-
Good defending from Grealish then.
-
Hogan coming on, hopefully for Onomah
-
Hogan to come on.
-
Tyrion Lannister coming on.
-
According to my feed we've had no shots on target.
Millwall have had six.
-
Come on Scott win us the game.
-
It would be really nice if just once we could put a decent cross in
-
`fucking hell, Millwall should have scored then.
-
Got away with another counter.
-
Jesus, Millwall hit the bar
-
Tony Cottee reckons end to end stuff and enjoying it
-
Good player that 9 for Millwall. Would do well in our team.
-

Never said there was. Their reaction was funny.
-
hmm...
-

Lee Gregory?
-
Samba off for Elphick
-
Samba injured now....Elphick on!
(looks for Millwall to win odds.....)
-
Elphick on for Samba.
-
Who did Hogan come on for?
-
Bloody hell elphick. Millwall will score.
-
Was that the sigh of thank fuck Elphick didn't go in the window as the notoriously injury prone Samba and Terry were always likely to both be out at the same time at some point from Bruce?
-
Another good chance for Milwall.
-
Shocking
-
Who did Hogan come on for?
He didn't. Samba got injured before he could get on so Elphick came on instead.
-
Bloody hell. We been like this the whole game?
-
Who did Hogan come on for?
No one. Elphick was needed instead.
Can't Whelan play as emergency centre back?
-
Can we count that as a shot from Johnstone?
-
We're getting mullered here.
-
Who did Hogan come on for?
He didn't. He was about to come on, but then Samba went down injured, so Elphick came on instead.
-
Bloody hell. We been like this the whole game?
Worse
-
Bloody hell elphick. Millwall will score.
The bloke is a liability
-
Bloody hell. We been like this the whole game?
From about 15-20 minutes in, yes.
-
Hanging on by our fingertips against Millwall, at home. Dreadful stuff.
-
Shocking2
-
The Beeb Web feed hasnt mentioned our game once.
-
I'd still have put Hogan on tbh.
Yes losing at home to Millwall would be embarrasing but a loss/draw is not much difference.
Not winning these sorts of games will hurt us in May.
-
Ooof cheers for info. Not pretty.
-
responsibility for this rests squarely with Bruce
-
This would be a terrible game to drop points in.
-
Shocking2
shit π
-
Thank God we have the promotion specialist, Steve Barnes.
-
responsibility for this rests squarely with Bruce
I'd sack him even now.
-
Grealish came up with a wonder goal this weekend last year for a last minute 1-0 win against Wigan. Care to repeat, Jack?
-
This would be a terrible game to drop points in.
The way it's gone, a point will be a miracle.
-
Poor.
-

Oh for f**ks sake.
-
Corner to us.
-
Corner here we go lads!
-
Come on Tommy, bury the corner
-
What a piss poor excuse for a corner. Elmo really can't cross a ball for toffee.
-
What a waste of a corner.
-
Sloppy.
-
Millwall 8 shots on target to Villas 1 at home.
Pathetic display
-
What a piss poor excuse for a corner. Elmo really can't cross a ball for toffee.
Yet we have scored what, 4 times from his crosses this season. He is very hit and miss with them though.
-
Just waiting to see Wolves or Millwall score a late winner.
-
Bet365 stats.
Shots on target;
A. Villa 0
Millwall 8
-
Going to be a bugger to win there last day if we need to!
-
We have definately had 1. From Grealish.
-
This really has been dreadful. We can forget about the top 2 playing like this.
-

BBC has 1 for Villa, wasn't it Grealish?

Well that's a load of bollocks because Grealish has had one on target.
-
we're left to discuss whether we had one shot or not. Rubbish either way
-
Oh dear.
-
Bruce is doing his nut on the sideline but has to share the blame for picking the starting XI
-

Too fucking right.

Booooooooooooooooooooooo
-
Well wasn't that a load of shite.
-
Dross. Absolute rubbish.
-

Not much else to discuss after performance like this. No doubt Bruce has excuses lined up
-
Crap result but a clean sheet at least.
-
Dross. Absolute rubbish.
Calm down, it wasn't that good.
-
Crap result but a clean sheet at least.
Clinging to the thinnest of straws there.
-
Teams that want to get promoted win games like these.

Crap result but a clean sheet at least.
Clinging to the thinnest of straws there.
I know. Fifth tonight.
