-
Much as expected......just win.
-
Hopefully Whelan's last start. I'd have started Kodjia.
-
Same as it ever was.
-
I can't be arsed to complain about Whelan being in there again. He was decent last week too.

Win please Villa. Good that we can try and let Chester recover now.
-
my heart sinks a bit when I see Whelan in the team
not just because i see Whelan in the team but because I was hoping this manager was going to be different from all the others we have had
-

Me too. He wants three in midfield so of those available Whelan although generally crap is less crap than BB. I think Jedinak will be the better option but he’s coming off a long term injury, and once Jack is back Whelan will be on the bench.

Mine too, mate.
And the fact that Hutton is captain. And Taylor and Hourihane still seem beyond the axe.
He is making a rod for his own back is Smith.
Still, time to find a stream and cheer them on.
-
So another window has closed and still i see the names Hutton,Taylor and Whelan in the starting eleven .Very disappointing .
-
El Ghazi is being given a lot chances considering he’s been shite since his one good display at Smethick. I really think Kodja should be playing.
As for Whelan, best of a bad bunch between Jedincack and the moody bloke with a blonde. pony tail.
-
The fact that Taylor still commands a place despite a transfer window and the size of our squad pisses me off immeasurably.
Still, 3 points today is all that matters for now.
-

It’s not going to change that quickly. Next season two those three won’t be at the club as their contracts will expire.
-

he won’t have any excuses if these are the players who take him down
-
Hutton captain .. JFC
-
We need to hope we can do enough to sneak past crap teams like Reading until Jack is fit.
-
I am more dissappointed to see Hourihane starting again.
-

Still a lot better than Reading though.
Is Hause so poor that he isn't deemed a better option than Neil fucking Taylor? Taylor gives every right winger in the division a confidence boost

Yes, quite why he doesn’t pick Kevin de Bruyne and Christian Eriksson every week is beyond me. The man’s a massive let down
-
jesus, the guy's been here 3 months and he's supposed to have re-built the team already? I don't know what people were expecting in the transfer window but 6+ new players was perhaps a tad optimistic.
-

he came with a reputation of swashbuckling no fear attacking football
inside 3 months he's morphed into a combination of Bruce,Lambert and Mcliesh
-
According to Smith Hause was outstanding in a practice match in midweek .So why is he not playing ?.As the weeks go by i am finding it hard to understand some of his team selections and decisions
-
It's lacking an attacking midfield option on the bench but other than that, it's OK.
-
Come on the Villa 11. Three points please! VTID.

You're quite right.

Might as well start as we mean to go on!
-

We signed five. And yet, looking at this team, we only addressed one problem position, maybe two with Kalinic. No doubt about it for me, this is still a poor side. One or two bits of class but not enough of it yet.
-
Whelan played well last week. Hourihane can go missing but has still set up two and scored one in his last four starts, so it's not like he contributes nothing.
People seem determined to moan whatever team he picks. Smith isn't to blame for Grealish being injured.
-

Perhaps because he wouldn't last the whole match and will be brought on later in the game, if needed. He clearly wasn't match fit the last outing we witnessed - a practice match is not the Championship.

He did fine when he had a half decent XI to chose from. With injuries he's now down to turd polishing. I'd defy any manager to turn this squad into Barcelona. If you're not going to give him any time to put his stamp on the team then we might as well sack him now and bring in another promotion expert.
-
Is there any chance our defence and goalkeeper can go 90 minutes without a fuck up? Please, just be anonymous today.
-
Not sure what else he could with the squad we have.
Put Mings at left back thereby continuing to play an injured Chester?
Rely on Hause who looked iffy defensively on his showings so far?
Put Hutton at LB and bring in that defensive colossus Elmo at RB (given Bree gone)?
I was disappointed with our window dealings too (esp the lack of a new DM) but you can't lay that all at Smiths door.
-
We should be putting these to the sword routinely - they're 22nd in the table, don't score many, tend to draw rather than win, and were pretty crap when we played them (and contrived to draw) in August. Not overly enthused with that line-up, especially Taylor in again, but I guess DS hasn't got many options. Roll on Jack coming back. Think we'll nick it 2-1

I read that as Pat Mings, that’s a better name.

safe, cautious, boring exactly the same as what we had before, exactly what we didn't want again
I not saying saying we can't win today we should do no matter what team we put out I'm talking long term here

Not sure how you can say he's morphed into those. We're the leading scorers in the league since he came in, even with players that we all want nowhere near the squad.
-
Will the Age of Whelan ever end?
-
Suprised and disappointed to see Whelan...
Anybody showing this live?? Not sure if I want to watch tho'..
-

People seem determined to moan whatever team he picks. Smith isn't to blame for Grealish being injured.
Or to blame the the squad at his disposal to implement his brand of football.

Seriously John, I’m not being sarcastic this time, but of the players available, who would you pick to be more swashbuckling ? The only one I would change is Kodjia - for all his faults I think he asks defences more questions than Albert ( of late) or El Ghazi.
-
The squad at his disposal has been supplemented by players who are yet to get up to match speed. Good luck with that Dean.
-
I used to look at the team sheet earlier in the season and think YES this is a good team which will cause serious problems. Now I look at it and think god help us :-\

He clearly hasn't it's nonsense
-
Lets get behind Deano rather than all these comments .....
Its not his squad and you dont change it I'm one window
All the criticism of Whelan is unfair .... maybe its the unchain fans but what did he do wrong last week
One player who really needs to step up is Albert
This team should be good enough to win today
-

And that's his fault how? By definition if your getting players in on loan, its probably because they're not playing much 1st team football at their current clubs. If he's turning down premiership 1st teamers on loan then I agree, he's missing a trick
-
jesus, the guy's been here 3 months and he's supposed to have re-built the team already? I don't know what people were expecting in the transfer window but 6+ new players was perhaps a tad optimistic.
Exactly there’s a youthful policy in transfer window.... don’t keep complaining about the usual midfireld suspects. There is FFP to comply with too. Older guys and ripped up contracts be Leaving in summer they’ll back him further no matter which division we’re in.
-
Did I say it was Dean Smith's fault? I wished him good luck with the squad he has had dumped on him.
-
Anything going on in the world of football?? can't find commentary or owt... it's like being blind...
-
Are we winning yet?
-

Tammy had half a chance, nothing much else to say yet.
-
Are we winning yet?
By “winning” do you mean, “Have the opposition not scored yet?”.
-
Christ Taylor is poor.
-
Corner to us.
-
Bloody hell that Reading defending was like us at our worst.
-
Decent start.
-
Sooo close
-
Oooooooh
-
Should have been a goal for Tammy there.
-
Abraham misses a sitter from a great El Ghazi effort.
-
Reading are dire, got to be battering a team like this.
-
I could have put that in with my nob
-
Current possession Reading 63% us 37%, so yep we're battering em.
-
How does Mings look? Don't suppose he's done much yet.
-
How does Mings look? Don't suppose he's done much yet.
Hasn't been merciless yet!!!
-
Good work Albert
-
Bloody hell if I was sat near that bloke with the drum he'd rapidly develop a very wide rear orifice
-
any commentary/streams?? messages on the back of a pm...?
-
Motm Whelan - game 2 where been very good
-
How does Mings look? Don't suppose he's done much yet.
Hasn't been merciless yet!!!
Actually done well imo... looks good
-
any commentary/streams?? messages on the back of a pm...?
will take a stream too gents, if one is going...
-
Same here.... doubt anyone is crazy enough to televise this, but if there is one going please, I'm feeling a little sadistic today! ::)
-
We’re giving the ball away needlessly. Reading are utter bollocks and we are giving them way too many looks in decent positions.
-
I'm stuck with commentary on WM DAB
-
Shit - hit the bar Elphick
-
Fuck off the bar from Tommy. Good header
-
Header off the bar from a corner.
-
On FB the following stream;
Gary Rushton is live now in AVFC - The Pride Live🦁 #UTV.
-
Close again, hit the bar from a corner.
-
😡😡😡😡😡 header on bar... audio 2 seconds behind on avtv, after spending 15 mins finding out how to pay for the game.
Grumpy
-

? Should I know what this means?
-
Its a Facebook page.
-
Kalinic flaps at a corner.
-
Why is it every team however shit they have been playing look ace against us? Reading FFS have had 60% possession. Reading!
-
Its a Facebook page.
Yes - but should it mean anything? I'm not local 😬
-
Why is it every team however shit they have been playing look ace against us? Reading FFS have had 60% possession. Reading!
Because we're not very good in reality?
-
We aren't playing very well.
-
Ridiculous offside by El Ghazi, so lazy
This game is a really poor standard.
-
Survived a penalty. We’re all over the place.
-
Hutton clumsy challenge but no penalty.
-

Astute observation. We really do drop to the level of our opponents.
-
Kalinic good save
-
Decent save Kalinic. We're pretty poor
-
We aren't playing very well.
That's a bit of an understatement.
-
Decent save by Kalinic. We’ve gone to shit in the past 20 mins.
-
Very mediocre so far
-
Not one of our players has any composure on the ball. Not one of them can dictate the play.
-
Taylor looking a bit more fired up today though
-
Survived a penalty. We’re all over the place.
Never ever a penalty
-
Kalinic saves us again
-
Our 22 been missing after bright 15 minutes
-
Kalinic with a superb save
-
Good save from Kalinic on the final whistle.
-
Wow chaps that was utter shit for 75% of the half
-
No corner. Poor way to save that attempt - Nyland better than 🤪
-
And it’s Average Villa.
-
Not one of our players has any composure on the ball. Not one of them can dictate the play.
Doesn't help when neither Whelan or Hourihane make themselves available for a pass when under the slightest bit of pressure. Might aswell get Whelan off at the break, not offering anything defensively.
-
Survived a penalty. We’re all over the place.
Never ever a penalty
Shite defending from Hutton to get on the wrong side in the first place though. You could see that situation coming 3-4 seconds before.
-
What happened to Dean Smith's possession football?
We seem to have less of the ball than they opposition every week.
-
Taylor looking a bit more fired up today though
maybe, but he's still been awful. Taylor free kick half way up pitch = Reading goalscoring chance; not tight enough on crosser - more chances. Awful player. Surely Mings to LB once Chester fit?
-
Kalinic with a superb save
He actually saved it directly into the path of the attacking line, could easily been put in
-
It's just the same lethargic, slow, occasional hoof ball-type football again.
We reek of mediocrity. No cohesion to our play.
Big improvement needed second half.
-
As in other games recently - unconvincing with odd flashes of quality, but letting the opposition build confidence and get chances.
-
Moved seats after 15 to get a better view and I might as well not have bothered.
Currently it has the potential to be another Wigan if the last 15mins is anything to go by.
-
Midfield too deep and where is the urgency , tackles are woeful
-
Survived a penalty. We’re all over the place.
Never ever a penalty
Shite defending from Hutton to get on the wrong side in the first place though. You could see that situation coming 3-4 seconds before.
Agreed, and once before he could have cleared a ball but got passed. But never a penalty
-
Last 20 minutes we've stopped attacking. Adomah very poor for me. I'd push Hourihane higher and being Kodjia on for Adomah.
Better defensively though.
-
pretty poor
we cant pass or control the ball . no intensity or creativity
Kalinic MOTH
I think I would get Kodja and Lewis Carroll on
-
Well the team are a 6/10 at best but the fans sound fantastic 10/10.
They need to lift it in the second half
-
Kalinic with a superb save
He actually saved it directly into the path of the attacking line, could easily been put in
The reaction for a bloke to get down that fast who is 6ft 7 was brilliant.
-
Decent save by Kalinic. We’ve gone to shit in the past 20 mins.
I would have thought at least 3153600 minutes, maybe even as many as 5256000.
-
Referee has missed some stick on hand balls too. The officiating down here is abysmal.
-
Adomah is crap. Has been for the last 12 months. Waste of a shirt.
-
After yet another shithouse first half display, we are deluded if we think we can get out of this league any time soon. What happen to the open, expansive, attacking play that DS promised when he arrived?
-

It’s what Whelan does. And not just that I’ve said a million times the midfield plays so much deeper with him in it. Now it’s not like we are flush with options but I do hope Smith gets Carroll on so we can see what he’s capable of. He’s a tidier, more attacking player. But without Jack who drives the team forward we look so devoid of composure, ideas and creativity.
-
Adomah is crap. Has been for the last 12 months. Waste of a shirt.
been shit since the Wolves win . I bumped into him the next day and told him what a great game he had and how well hes done for us but I think I cursed him.
-

I don’t think he’s changed from that. But if the players in our midfield can’t keep possession or aren’t the type to force the play forwards then it’s not going to happen. McGinn simply cannot do it all on his own.
-

Apparently we can only play that way when Jack is in the side.

Can you please arrange to meet him and lift the curse asap
-
We just need to sneak/get through this and get Grealish back. Come on you Villa Boys!!
-
Bloody hell the commentary on AVTV is even further out of sync now than in the 1st half.
-
We just need to sneak/get through this and get Grealish back. Come on you Villa Boys!!
While I admire your positive slant on things, at present we have no idea when JG will be back and when he does return, how many games will it take for him to get up to speed. 16 and counting to the end of yet another season in this crap league.
-
Twat El Ghazi. Booked for diving
-
EL Ghazi booked for a dive.
-
Just read though the match thread, so Taylor is shit, Hutton is shit, Whelan offers nothing to the defence and is shit, Albert is shit Connor is shit.
I take it we are getting stuffed?
-
Whelan now booked for being slow and old and shit
-
Decent move. Taylor’s cross wasn’t good enough. Should have driven it low
-
So frustrating
-
Get Kodija on for Albert.
-

I take it we are getting stuffed?
We're making an awful Reading team look more than decent.
-
What happened to the El Ghazi that looked so good away at Boro and West Brom?
He's had a stinker today.
-
Whelan now booked for being slow and old and shit
Finally something to smile at today.
-
No subs at HT? Makes sense as we’re playing badly against a shit team. Cool.
-
EL Ghazi booked for a dive.
He’s a bit of a tit really, isn’t he? The sooner he stops trying to impersonate Cristiano Ronaldinho and tries to emulate Tammys work rate, the better he will be ...
-
Taylor missing an easy ball.
-
this team will take bloody weeks to get going there half asleep
-
Now Reading get Oliveira booked for diving. Twat.
-
Am I allowed to say ‘tit’ in the Me Too age ? Apologies to tits everywhere if I’m not.
-
At least the ref has been consistent and booked Oliviera for a dive
-
I have to say Mings has looked very composed so far at the back
-
Whelan > Carroll
Adomah > Kodjia please. Thanks.
This is abysmal.
-
That's better
-
Fuck Tammy nearly in there
-
Whelan now booked for being slow and old and shit
And wearing a wig in a built up area.
-
Get Kodjia and Carroll on
-
Bloody hell the commentary on AVTV is even further out of sync now than in the 1st half.
At least 3 seconds. It's beyond a joke
-
How can anybody say they enjoy being in this division?
-
What is Smith waiting for? Make a fucking change Dean
-
How can anybody say they enjoy being in this division?
I despise it
-
What is Smith waiting for? Make a fucking change Dean
hes waiting for terry to text him
-
How long gone now? Needs to make subs.
-
McGinn is just outstanding. Unfortunately surrounded by too many numpties
-
How has Swift not been sent off yet?
-
Come on Villa we need to find a way to win this game! UTV
-
We just need to sneak/get through this and get Grealish back. Come on you Villa Boys!!

Last I heard Grealish is due back on the 8th Feb and sticking with the blind optimism 16 x 3 = 48 ;-)
-

64 minutes gone.

He’s not even back in full training yet is he?
-
How has Swift not been sent off yet?
He should definitely have gone for that tug on McGinn.
-
Fcukin Smethwick. They’re going up aren’t they.
-
Whelan struggling with the bouncing ball.
And the straight ball.
Just football in general.
-
I’ll do my fucking nut if Elmo comes on before anyone else
-
If we can't beat teams like this we deserve to be where we are, mid-table!
-
Albion winning . Fuck off
-
Ref is a tit.
-
Everton 1 Wolves 3 which is quite funny seeing as Silva is so overrated.
-
Albion winning . Fuck off
Means Boro are losing who seem easier to catch.
-
Any subs?
-
Fcukin Smethwick. They’re going up aren’t they.
Would that be Smethwick, proud to be in Sandwell?
-
Any subs?
Yep 7 of them all picking their arse on the bench.
-
Any subs?
68mins in - Nothing
-
Ref is absolutely wank…..as are most of our team.....get the fecking subs on Smith FFS!!!!!
-
Let's get JK on for Albert and also take off Whelan (who's done a couple of fantastic interceptions/tackles since his yellow but who is definitely in risk of getting sent off)
-
Come on Deano - need to change this
-
Hull winning to go past us too. El ghazi been poor today
-
This is so crap. Fuck me Villa. Make a fucking change Dean
-
Kodjia and Carroll coming on
-
Hurray.
-
Oliviera face bust open
-
70 mins and still no movement off the feckin bench!!!!
-
Kodja and Carroll coming on
-
Kodjia coming on. Hopefully for El Ghazi.
-
Kodjia and Carroll coming on
Hope this changes things. Win Villa!!
-
Kodjia for Adomah
Carroll for Whelan.
-
Kodjia for Albert
Carroll for Whelan
-
Reloading page fixes lag of sound
-
Whelan been far better than elghazi again, pathetic
-
When he does make subs, they appear to be the correct ones. Just hope it’s not too late.
-
how the feck does Adomah keep getting caught offside
-
Losing faith with Smith.... All very well blaming the squad he's inherited, but Kodjia/Carroll not starting ahead of Whelan and co is bewildering (and not bringing em on till the 73rd minute in a dysfunctioning side?!).
Sort it out Villa FFS!
-
Will be about 25 years of injury time at this rate.
-

He’s not even back in full training yet is he?
Date may have been pushed back but going off of DS previous interviews I don't think he's far off and DS has been trying to dampen Jack's impatience/enthusiasm to get back. Saying that I missed DS press conference for this match so don't know if anything was mentioned then?
-
I can understand Carroll being sub he hasn’t played for four months.
-
Reloading page fixes lag of sound
Thanks
-
Smethwick pegged back.
-
Clean sheet at least? Maybe we’re just trying to keep it tight and waiting for a moment of individual brilliance (cc. S. Bruce)
-
Boro equalise
-
we're total wank and don't deserve the play offs.
-
How the fcuk have Rangers been given four penalties?
-
3 fouls by Reading in the last 3 mins - sounds like a bruiser
-

He does appear to have morphed into Bruce within a ridiculously short time.
-
Should have scored
-
Tammy so close.
Great save from there keeper.
-
What a superb save from their keeper from Tammy
-
Mofo why they have saves like that
-
Great save
-
Reading are a poor side, this is really poor.
-
Been impressed with Mings’ distribution from the back
-
Losing faith with Smith.... All very well blaming the squad he's inherited, but Kodjia/Carroll not starting ahead of Whelan and co is bewildering (and not bringing em on till the 73rd minute in a dysfunctioning side?!).

Bla bla

Hopefully when Smith can build a team to suit his style we’ll have more of these positive comments.

This is going to end with a nil next our name isn’t it?

Right now I'll settle for Reading nil.

Keinan coming on

The only thing I really look forward to on Saturdays now is Lambert's post-match interview.

Carroll booked.

Rugger ffs.
-
Jedinak coming on!
-
Jedinak coming on. It's like Bruce never left.
-
Jedinak and Keinan? Isn’t that four? Are we doing for a forfeit?
-
McGinn off for Jedinak.
-
Good grief.
-
McGinn has run himself into the ground. Coming off for Jedi
-
Good grief.
It makes sense. He’s started to cramp up
-
Smethwick losing!

Settling for a draw then at bottom of the table reading.
Happy times.

Bog eyed shite now losing 2-3 to the smogmonsters.

Very early try for England in the egg chasing. Are villa still 0-0?

-
The defence has been excellent today.
Cue defensive cock up
-
Come on
-
Watching this shite on a stream on AVFC The Pride Live, and can honestly say we will be torn a feckin new one against Sheffield.
-
8 added minutes. It could 8 added days and I still don't think we'd score.

Bruce about to beat lambert

I really do hate floaty crosses
-
Kodja looks disinterested to me
-
Smethwick losing
-
Kodja looks disinterested to me
Not surprised. He’s not a winger and he keeps getting pushed out as a sub to that position. He’ll be gone in the summer for sure.
-
Kodja looks disinterested to me
If El Khazi and Adomah are shit but still get selected ahead of him, is it any wonder?
-

Me too, I'm just glad that bloke steaming it is nowhere near me for home games. What a dour, miserable twat.

Kalinic cleaning everyone out to punch that cross clear.
-
Blues 2-0 against Forest. Well done Pubehead.
-
Another 2 points dropped.

It’s precisely what we all wanted when we got him. He’s actually been very good today in all aspects of his game.

I agree!
-
All done.
-
Absolutely bollocks
-
Dreadful result
-
Shit. Utter shit.
-
Should have clinched it with the chances. Not the best of games
-
Good debut from Mings. Great to get clean sheet. Moved up a place in league. Still,only 4 pts from playoffs.....those are all positive points !!
Some of you want to try that approach

What, you mean ignoring the negatives?
-
Defence looked much better.

I do hope Hourihane, Whelan, Taylor, Adomah and El Khasi never wear the shirt again....a Sunday League side would turn the fuckers over easily.....utter shite from the aforementioned yet again, but feckin Hourihane and Whelan and Adomah will all be in the team next Friday....mark my words!!!
Promotion or the play offs......don't make me feckin laugh!!!

What does Smith really mean when he says "we had a good week of training"
Same Shit, Different Week......To Me

Enjoying your positivity Dazvillain. UTV!

Mings, McGinn and Tammy were the only real quality shown on the pitch.
We miss Jack so so much.
