-
Two former Villa legends in the Sheffield Utd squad
-
Just win Villa there is no other option.
-
Let's see how we cope with Sheff Utd's 3 at the back with wing backs.
-
Must win this. A draw will be like a defeat. An overdue response from us. 2-1
-
He really should be picking O’Hare rather than the entirely useless Bjarnason.
-
Any type of win will do, come on me babbies!!!
-
Two right backs on the bench. Like it.
-
I hope he pushes Grealish and Hourihane further forward. Early goal please. UTV
-
He really should be picking O’Hare rather than the entirely useless Bjarnason.
I’m going to get you a Bjarnason key ring for Christmas
-
With the cardiff result we really need to take advantage and win this now, we have to start closing the gap when they drop points.
-
Win please.
-
We simply have to win. All of a sudden Derby are 7 points ahead of us, Leeds won again and Wolves are absolutely pissing this league.
-

Unfortunately it comes with a set of Villa midfielders that unlock very little.
-
Is Lansbury injured again?
-
He really should be picking O’Hare rather than the entirely useless Bjarnason.
I would put him ahead of Snodgrass.
-

I would put him ahead of Snodgrass.
Except he wants to play in Grealish's position - the mystical '10'.
-
Is Lansbury injured again?
Yes SB said he had a knee injury at the presser yesterday.
Our team really picks itself. Interested to see how we do against their 3-5-2.
Surprised Brooks isn't involved for them, he's one of the best young players at this level so that's a boost for us.
-
Is there any coverage anywhere outside Brum?
-
Why is Hutton on the bench?
-
Penalty already. Adomah to take.
-
Get IN
-
Is there any coverage anywhere outside Brum?
Sorry mate had a look could not find anything. Radio Sheffield requires a sign up not sure if they are live though. its BBC radio if you fancy a try.
-
Good start now get a second.
-
2
-
2-0. Jedinak.
Terrific stuff against an out of form opponent.
Just wish we could start like this more often. The tempo has been great.
-
hell yes!!!!!!
-
We want three.
-
2-0
-
Get in! Come on Villa third now please.

Cheers mate. HandV it is... keep up the good work!
-
Now use the goal bonus to get a shave you scruffy bastard :)
-
FFS!
-
Dear me, 2-1. Clayton Donaldson.
Bad error from Jedinak.
-
Bloody hell. (whispers) nice goal to be fair.
-
2-1
-
Fucking dreadful defending.
-
Get a third Villa.
-
it’s a feast of festival Football going on at VP
-
Can understand the thought process of Jedinak there, in fairness.
It's only shithouse Donaldson. Could give him a 30 yard headstart and he'd still fluff it. Usually.
-
Come on Villa calm down!
-
Jedi is not playing well at that back.
-
Three goals and only three pages, Ware is everyone?
-
I’d swap Jedinak with Hutton and take Whelan off.
-
Entertaining game though. Sure Jedi made a mistake but I would credit the the finish more. I also like how we are playing. Very attacking.
-
Shambles, another Jedinak error.
2-2.
-
FFS!
-
Jedinak is not a centre back. FFS.
-
Jedinak off Hutton on.
-
Jesus. Ok Jedi WAS entirely blame for that cluster fuck.
-
Fuck me Jedinak has absolutely killed us.
-
Villa 2 Jedinak 2
-
is this the last for jedi ?
-
We've been fucking diabolical since we scored the second. Our midfield is fucking hopeless as well.
-
Fcukin hell Albert.
-
Holy shit
-
It’s ok no need to panic. If we keep playing this we will wi 4-2.
-
We've been fucking diabolical since we scored the second. Our midfield is fucking hopeless as well.
Conceding straight after the second really messed up the mind. Sheffield have been a different team since then and been like they've been in many of the games I've seen them this season, winning the second balls and on the front foot.
-
Put some pressure on the fucking ball Villa.
-
Is Hourihane playing?
-
Is Hourihane playing?
-
Yes he is
-
From 2-0 to 2-2. The Villa way. Just calamitous at the back.
-
I was taking the piss, were you?
-
Is Hourihane playing?
He just woke up apparently.
-
Oh dear...

How in Christ's name are we making Cackton Donaldson look like a footballer.
-
Steve Agnew effect is great....going forward at least.
-
How in Christ's name are we making Cackton Donaldson look like a footballer.
We have helped him but (spit) he has had a good game to be fair .
-
The coaches seriously need to show Keinan Davies some videos of how real number nines play.
-
Is Hourihane playing?
He just woke up apparently.
Hourihane or me?
-
We start on the front foot and score 2 goals, we revert to our slow build up and players playing too deep and concede twice, It's pretty clear to me what the answer is.
-

Hourihane or me?
Hourihane mate. he was really quiet earlier I was agreeing with you. :)

A new manager ans better coaching
-
Wake the fuck up! That’s Villa not Hourihane or Oldtimer by the way
-

Hourihane or me?
Hourihane mate. he was really quiet earlier I was agreeing with you. :)
thought so cos I was dreaming we were two goals up inside 10 minutes.....thought I was dreaming so assumed I was asleep
-
can we get hogan on for davis please ?
-
Fucking Merry Christmas my arse! Sort it out Tuber Head!

Is anyone actually in the Upper Trinity?
-
A few. I'll take a shot in a bit
-
Half-time...boooooooooooo
-
Well I dont know what the hell to make of that. Hopefully Bruce does. Time to earn your money Steve because tactically that looked like a bunch of subbuteo players on a fucking trampoline.
-
Fucking piss from Jedinak and the midfield. We need to win this game.
-
A Brucey Booster half time team talk will sort it out for the second half ;)
-
Two woeful mistakes for the goals. You cannot defend like that.
-
Well I dont know what the hell to make of that. Hopefully Bruce does. Time to earn your money Steve because tactically that looked like a bunch of subbuteo players on a fucking trampoline.
I admire your optimism.
The manager is not known for his tactical wizardry ...
-
Jedi is going to get the winner but I'm not sure for which team.
-
I'd like to see Hogan on for Davis, but can Stevie tweek our style of play?Probably not.
-
Three goals and only three pages, Ware is everyone?
Delayed at my ex-wife's, picking up my daughter's Christmas present. Missed the first three goals.
-
Davis has been poor, hopefully he’ll improve second half.
-
Four older players will suffer in the last 15 minutes in game played at that pace
-
It's very rare that I seethe about Villa nowadays, but I'm raging about that thirty-five minutes.

Sadly I agree. But he needs to come up with something today. I have absolutley no clue what though. We started well but then became utterly disjointed mainly due to their pressing. Jedi is an obvious problem but Wheelan & Hourihane are also playing poorly, or are overwhelmed. Also I do hope this is the end of Bruce's increasingly regular habit of playing people out of position.

Hourihane mate. he was really quiet earlier I was agreeing with you. :)

lol :)
Obviously it's pantomime time
-
It needs legs in midfield and for the two wide men to press right onto their wing backs, as they were doing.
-
It's very rare that I seethe about Villa nowadays, but I'm raging about that thirty-five minutes.
I seethed for a long time after last week's visit to Derby ... hence, I went today to watch Harrogate Town win 3-0 rather than travel down to VP.
-
sublime pass from Albert...straight to Donaldson
-
Snodgrass is shit at the moment, need to come off
-
Every time the opposition have a go, we go to pieces.
-
Three goals and only three pages, Ware is everyone?
Delayed at my ex-wife's, picking up my daughter's Christmas present. Missed the first three goals.
Bloody hell - I'm starting to think I was better off there.
-
This is terrible football.
-
Bruce will just bring fatso on in twenty minutes and hope he nicks one. No hopes here.
-
I’m afraid we really miss Terry’s influence and positioning. Can’t believe how much difference one man can make
-
We have gone to pot really ever since the first Sheffield United goal.
They should be winning this. A draw is bad enough as it is given the other results today.
-
What’s with the booing
-
at least it's not the usual borefest we normally serve up for TV
-
This is terrible football.
Not exactly sparkling is it, not promotion form.
Has Bruce set up to defend the point they have?
-
Our passing..... ffs
-
Let’s hope Agnew’s got a clue.
-
What’s with the booing
Customer disatisfaction.
-
Could we not have put a striker on then and kept AEM at Right back?
-
What’s with the booing
Customer disatisfaction.
Cognitive dissonance.
-
Oh dear...

-
Where is John Terry? Is he watching Chelsea again? If so, I don't fucking blame him.
-
Let’s hope Agnew’s got a clue.
If Middlesborough had him on gardening leave he presumably wasn't being sought after by other clubs which doesn't auger well for his reputation in the game.
-
This is pish again. Bruce can feck off and pack his bags.
-

No here’s here watching this shit
-

All a bit embarrassing really. Boo when you’ve lost 3-0 after 90 not when we’re drawing and all to play for.
-

He is in the stands at Villa Park watching the game. He was on camera earlier staring with disbelief at Jedi's defending.
-
Am I alone in thinking Taylor is shit?

BBC is saying there are murmurs of discontent from Villa fans

What is embarrassing is throwing away a 2-0 lead at home.
-
Our passing is so slow and pedictable.

On telly.
-
How shit is Bruce?
-

Our manager's trademark
-
A draw, let alone a defeat will be a very poor result.
-
How shit is Bruce?
Very in my opinion
-
Commentary I'm listening to mentioned the G word as regards our possible next substitute to come on.
-
What’s with the booing
Because no team has ever done that before have they.

Davis off for Hogan.
We'll be lucky to muster 3 consecutive passes in their half from here on in.
-

Can it be any worse
-
Bruce going for it. Ballsy.
-
This just looks like Brownian Motion from Bruce.
Hope it works, because this is shit.
-
A draw, let alone a defeat will be a very poor result.
It mirrors SB form since he's been with us. Don't win in 4 or 5, win three on the trot, then repeat again and again...
-
3 Villans on as subs. Next scorer, Samir Carruthers, therefore.
-
You just know he is going to give Flabby 10 minutes, don't you? And he won't score.
-
THhis is a pivotal moment in our season, come on Villa
-

Fixed
-

Agree. Another game without a win and I feel we'll be looking up at the play off places in three games time.
-
Anyone fancy a Samir Carruthers winner?!
-
Am I alone in thinking Taylor is shit?
I may have raised that sentiment once or twice.
-
Bruce is utter shit. That’s clear as day
-
The corner flag puts in a better defensive performance than Jedinak.
-
Am I alone in thinking Taylor is shit?
I may have raised that sentiment once or twice.
Would rather see Hutton at LB
-
He is certainly not encouraging me to invest in new Villa mugs, I can tell you.
-
some questionable ref decisions here?
-
Fucking dross. He just can’t beat the decent teams.
-

-

I wouldn't necessarily describe Sheffield United as decent.
Bang average for this level and we still haven't got a clue what to do when we've got to go and force the game.
-
The contributions from Gabby and Hogan so far add up to 0.00000.
-
O'Hare needs some game time, this lot sounds knackered
-
Bloody hell, Scott Hogan is atrocious.
-
I think the moment we fall outside the top 6 Bruce is gone.
-
some questionable ref decisions here?
Some questionable football from Villa here?
Some questionable comments from H & Vers here ?
-
Tired pass from Hogan.
Worn out after 2 minutes.
-
I think the moment we fall outside the top 6 Bruce is gone.
With S agnew taking control?
1W in !!
-
Sigh.
-
some questionable ref decisions here?

Why do you say that?
-
Scott Hogan is an atrocious footballer.
-
Lol on the plus side camera caught two villa fans swiging on the brandy in the stands :) Good lads.
-
We will be lucky to scrape into the play offs and then lose over 2 legs in the SF to Derby, with Bent and Weimann scoring.
-
O'Hare needs some game time, this lot sounds knackered
How does he not get a look in, but we have two right backs on the bench.
-
Sheff U look defensively suspect and can be got at.
But on a League One budget with largely League One players, that's understandable.
What's our excuse?
-
I think the moment we fall outside the top 6 Bruce is gone.
With S agnew taking control?
Probably back on gardening leave with a nice severance package
-
last chance saloon......
-
So Hogan gets the service he is supposed to thrive on and he can't even muster the strength to get the ball across the goal.

One guess

could he be in line for the most money made in the shortest time....
other than Gabby?
-
Our passing is so slow and pedictable.
What again? - well, I never!
-

Why do you say that?
I was just being deliberately and unjustifiably provocative as another game disappointingly turns into an ultimately disappointing shite conclusion.

We've had a horrible one.
-
I would love to punch out these fucking commentators.
-
Utter fucking shit
-
oh well there's always Franksy to look forward to
-
Sitting at my mum’s sobering up from this afternoon was never the best prep missed this and will also miss Tuesday at Brentford - I always say Vila do better when I miss not quite sure this is true today
