I think we all saw that coming. Positive bench. Let's get it done.
-
Hause injured presumably?
-
We'd better hope no defenders get crocked.
-
Apart from Mattock I have never heard of any of their players
-
The Eric Twigg Foods Pukka Pies West Stand, catchy!
-
Joe Newell is a bluenose, a particularly bitter one.
He said one of his greatest days was promotion and seeing villa lose the play off final on the same day.
Fuck the fuckers.
-
Early shout for a babbling brook PM here - my Google-fu has let me down :(
-
Where is Kalinic... That's me not watching him play tonight
-
We need to go out there fully focused on the job at hand and come home with 3pts.
No other fixtures for us to be concerned about tonight however Hull could put themselves right in the mix with a win against Wigan.
-
Where is Kalinic... That's me not watching him play tonight
Still injured I assume.
-
Early shout for a babbling brook PM here - my Google-fu has let me down :(
I could do with a steady flow of water too please.
-
And so it starts.
Butterflies, squeaky bum hole and sweaty palms.
-
So the Rotherham defender Joe Newell is a bitter bluenose.I thought they all were !
-
I see Rotherham have already thrown the Towell in :)
-
DFU.
-
Win please Villa
-
Apart from Mattock I have never heard of any of their players
I have just looked at their line up and thought exactly the same thing!
-
Bloody hell, where are all the home fans?
-

Come on you Lions

COYVB

Where are the fucking red button games?

Allez allez allez
-
just do it
-
Chance for Rotherham
-
Neil fucking Taylor. Absolute gash.
-
Fucking hell Taylor
-
What was Taylor doing then?
-
Fucking Taylor!!
-
Bloody hell Taylor
-
Bloody hate matches like this - Zero coverage anywhere. I'm guessing there are no interweb streams floating around either?
-
What happened?
-
Another Rotherham shot, come on Villa!
-
What's Taylor done now?
-
Where are the fucking red button games?
It did take a while didn't it?

Hardly zero coverage - it's on Sky Sports!
-
This looks like being our bad half so far.

It’s on red button so there must be streams.
-
They've started far too brightly for my liking.

WM on FM or freeview. I assume it's being shown in the usual Facebook groups as well.
-
Couple of Villa chances

Ooooooh
-
Close!

Good effort Villa. COME ON!!

Much better.

Mad. If I’d watched the scum for another 30 seconds I would have caught fire.
-
SBT.
-
FFS Taylor!
-
What happened with Taylor?
-
We've got to beat this lot, they've got a bloke from Duran Duran in defence.
-
Taylor is a clueless numpty, not much movement in front of him but always wants to go backwards first.

You're a star. Tar!
-
What happened with Taylor?
He trot on the ball and then gave it away. Then, from our corner, instead of putting the ball back in the box, went all the way back to Steer.

Another Rotherham shot.

-
They look a big side. Putting their bodies in to Villa too.
-
Madley being his usual wank self
-
They’ve been the better team so far.
-
Villa all over the place at mo
-
They’ve been the better team so far.
We're lulling them into a false sense of security.
-
Penalty Villa
-
Penalty!
-
Great work from Jack
-
Penalty won by Grealish
-
Tammy saved
-
Penalty
-
I think I just heard them say on the commentary that the game is available on AVTV to everyone as it's not on tv anywhere.
-
Fuck.
-
Bollocks. Poor by Tammy
-
That was shit
-
Tammy's missed it.
-
Bugger.
-
Shit penalty
-
Shit penalty. Far too casual. Terrible penalty. I hope we don't think we have already made it because we are playing a bottom three side.
-
Pinot grigio to Villa courtesy of a foul on Grealish.... and Tammy with a shocker of a penalty! :O
-
Really poor pen and so predictable - run up and smash it!
-
Should have been retaken. Encroachment all around the box from their players.
-
Complacent
-
Poor penalty but a Rotherham defender had passed the ref in the penalty area when Tammy hit the ball. Should have been retaken
-
Dearie me. Tammy didn't look confident then. Grealish's run to win the penalty was brilliant though. Come on Villa. And good evening everyone :)
-
I think I just heard them say on the commentary that the game is available on AVTV to everyone as it's not on tv anywhere.
Available if you want to pay:
Rotherham United Video Match Pass - £10 | Audio pass £3
-
I hope this isn't one of Tammy's miss half a dozen sitters nights.
-
Bloody hell, Tammy. Just leather it.
Come on Villa!
-
Should have been retaken. Encroachment all around the box from their players.
Every pen is the same, always encroachment. Blame Tammy for a piss poor pen
-
Taylor, you sloppy ******.
-
Should have been retaken. Encroachment all around the box from their players.
Every pen is the same, always encroachment. Blame Tammy for a piss poor pen
But not quite so blatently
-
Hel’ll get a hat trick now
-

The penalty was indeed piss poor, but the encroachment was taking the piss, even by the standards of what temas get away with these days.

Mings booked
-
Mings attracts pathetic yellow card
-
Poor yellow for Mings there. Unneccessary.
-
Early doors but this doesn’t look like a Villa side intent on winning this match. Wish they’d show some urgency.
-
Deano not happy with that
-
Mings put himself in a stupid position.
-
Hourihane is no whelan.
We need to calm down and start to play a bit.
-
I hope that this isn't a case of after the Lord mayor's Show as we have beaten lots of quality along the way and now fail to show up against a relegation threatened side. Awful penalty and I wonder if Tammy is watching the keeper, waiting for the dive before he slots it home. Smash them in future.
-
17/18 mins in we should be turning the screw by now.
-
It was almost as if Abraham totally lost any sort of plan as he ran up to the ball.
-
How come their player wasn’t booked for the pen?
-
How come their player wasn’t booked for the pen?
A very good question. Doubt if the ref cares to explain
-
We’re making them look like Barcelona at the minute.
-
Houri fucking hane
-
Awful corner from Hourihane there.
-
We're starting to play a bit.
-
We’re making them look like Barcelona at the minute.
Dean "false sense of security" Smith. We'll smash this lot.
.......and I never set out my stall like this so you know it means we'll lose miserably.

If Tammy had scored, you wouldn’t have mentioned it, no one would, we had pen, we missed,
-
Poor penalty attempt from Tammy, a poor team performance so far and Deano giving the fourth official a fair bit of stick.
-
Maupay again for Brentford. Hope we'll be sniffing around him in summer.
-
This is the most disjointed we have been for ages.
Why all the long balls ?
-
I feel like our midefield hasn't really gotten a grip on this game so far. McGinn is trying, as ever.
-
All across the pitch we look lethargic and lackadaisical.
-
Poor penalty attempt from Tammy, a poor team performance so far and Deano giving the fourth official a fair bit of stick.
This match was always going to be a but nervy given we are into the final stretch now. Just hoping they push through first half without conceding and get a grip second half.
-
This is pants, to be honest.
-
We needed that penalty to go in. Not started yet.
-
Reading 1 up v Norwich
-
Our movement, off the ball, has not been up to scratch as yet.
-
Rotherham playing some decent football.
-
Whelan makes a bigger difference than he is sometimes given credit for.
-
Look shaky at the back. Not sure about Mings and axel at all.
-
There’s no movement off the ball. Jack just had it and Hourihane was stood with two players between them with his arms in the air. Run for goodness sake !
-
Bollocks pen to them
-
Mings you thick twat.
-
Whelan makes a bigger difference than he is sometimes given credit for.
Agreed - helps to keep the shape of the team. Seem at 6s and 7s whenever it's the current 3 in the middle.
-
Mings sent off!
-
Turning to shit
-
Fucking hell
-
Now Mings has conceded a penalty and off for a second yellow.
-
not doing the basics and simple things properly
free kicks, corners, penalties all taken with a lackadaisical attitude that will cost us if we don’t shape up
-
Thrown it all away.
-
Mings sent off. What a fucking shambles we are sometimes.
-
Fuck sake
-
All because of his stupid pointless yellow earlier on. Amateurish.
-
Fucks sake Mings. Sent off.
-
1-0
-
Fcuk !!!
-
Was all too good to last!
-
Sweet fuck. And not a single CB on the bench. Gobshites.
-
Both of Mings' bookings were soft for me.
-
This is absolutely peak Aston Villa.
-
Bollocks...................
-
We’ll lose to Bristol and see you next year.
-
Going to be a long night now. And losing Mings for 3 games could cost us big time
edit. 1 game not 3
-
Jedinak coming on.
-
Rotherham playing some decent football.
Yep, keeping possession much better than us
MINGS FFS
-
Our own worst enemies.
-
You sometimes get what you deserve in football. why didn't Steer watch the ball, straight down his throat. Fucking gash.
-
This is absolutely peak Aston Villa.
Yep. Classic Villa.
-
Absolute thunderbollocks.
-
FFS
-
Too bloody complacent.
I had a feeling this would happen tonight, so many just assumed we'd turn up and win.
All smiles walking off.
-
Going to be a long night now. And losing Mings for 3 games could cost us big time
Should only be 1 game for 2 yellows
-
Well this has gone completely tits up.
-
Both of Mings' bookings were soft for me.
Indeed Madley is a fucking twat
-
Last thing we need, whatever we think we've been doing up to now needs to stop and we need to turn instantly into a Championship winning side if we have any chance of getting 3 from this.
-
Rotherham have been better so far and probably deserve that. Hate to say it. Come on Villa.
-
Jinxed we are. Sure of it
-
We’ve been fucking rubbish tonight.
-
Totally deserved. We let them outplay us for 40 minutes and missed a penalty we won against the run of play.
-
Oh great, Tuanzebe and Jedinak are the back 2. What can possibly go wrong. stand up and be counted now Villa. MAN UP.
-
Going to be a long night now. And losing Mings for 3 games could cost us big time
1 game, 2 yellow cards.
Didn't look like a pen for me, and if it was it's so marginal that giving a yellow for it was really harsh when he didn't give one for our pen.
-
Going to be a long night now. And losing Mings for 3 games could cost us big time

Isn't it 1 for two yellows?
-
McGinn will add to his tally of yellows next.... nailed on.
-
Thanks to Mings we are short in defence for the biggest 6 pointer of the season
-
From Rotterdam to Rotherham.
-
Thing is, Rotherham ain’t anything and yet we are plodding.
-
Fucks sake, I get in from work, turn the tv on and see Rotherham score a penalty.

That's the way I see it too.
Very harsh.
-
Well. Lets see what we're made of. Come on Villa.
-
Both of Mings' bookings were soft for me.
Indeed Madley is a fucking twat
Didn't see the first, but the second was a clear yellow.
-
Last two away games we have conceded first and then gone on to win 3-1
-
We've been far to casual about this.
-
Don't panic people losing tonight won't be the end of the world.
-
Yellow card for Mings for their pen but not for their player for our pen. Do these officials make it up as they go along.
-
Last two away games we have conceded first and then gone on to win 3-1
With 11 men
-
Fucks sake, I get in from work, turn the tv on and see Rotherham score a penalty.
Your fault.

Tammy pen miss https://twitter.com/avfc_vilr/status/1116053567511646210

Dunno about that from Jack. Seemed to make a LOT of that.
-
Shit again from hourihane.
-
Rotherham pen decision https://twitter.com/villareport/status/1116060444198866945
-
Hull 0-1 Wigan
Blose 1-1 Sheff Utd
-
Their midfield so much better than ours currently.
-
This is absolutely awful. Just awful.
-
Players out there who are not showing.
El Ghazi for one.
Hourihane is being Hourihane.
And Tammy is totally isolated
-
Going to be a long night now. And losing Mings for 3 games could cost us big time
Should only be 1 game for 2 yellows
Yeah - edited my post about a minute later. Just 1 game - hopefully 1 of Hause, Chester or Elphick will be fit
-
Dean Smith booked
-
Bastard taylor, useless fucking dribble.
-
What is going on have these officials been bribed?!?
-
Fuck me. Defending went to shit then!
-

El Ghazi for one.

Jack too. Needs to cut out the Billy Big Bollocks and get his head down.
-
Those punts forward from full backs and goalkeeper are not effective!
-
Tammy pen miss https://twitter.com/avfc_vilr/status/1116053567511646210
Fucking hell, the keeper was already there before Tammy hit the ball
-
What a bag of fucking shit, embarrassing.
-
Yellow Card for Deano.
-
If we don't beat shithouse teams like this, then we don't deserve to go up.
-
They want it totally more than we do, all over the pitch. Nearly another goal from yet another long throw.
-
Rotherham pen decision https://twitter.com/villareport/status/1116060444198866945
Watched that about 10 times now, still not a clear handball, a yellow for that is shocking.
-
This referee’s a ******.

Bristol City I presume. Gulp.
-

No more than Abraham and Mings, I'd have said.
-
Fuck me we're clinging on to this 1-0
-
If we don't beat shithouse teams like this, then we don't deserve to go up.
This could easily be one of those turning point in the season games.
-
I have to say this because I tend to give Spurs, Derby and Leeds such shit for it... But are Villa actually the ultimate bottlers under pressure? When was the last fucking time we actually stepped up under pressure and got the job done? '94? '96?
-
Complacency has created this situation.
-
absolute masterclass of how to be your own worst enemy going on right here
-

It was so piss poor that if you watch it in real time you get the impression you are watching it in slow motion. To trot out the old saying, the keeper could have thrown his cap on it.

Wow!!! give me a while, i'll get back to you on that one.
-
Urgh. Jedinak. A professional footballer that cannot pass to his own teammate.
Come on Villa. Not a good half. Rotherham big and physical. And niggly. And any team with a long throw expert is fucking annoying.
-
We're playing how we used to in that spell when Grealish was out.
-
Dean has got to earn his money now and do something to turn this around, because if we play the second half like the first, we'll be lucky to lose by a single goal.
-
Half time, thank goodness.
-
Absolute horror show.
Little hope of a way back.
-
Dean has got to earn his money now and do something to turn this around, because if we play the second half like the first, we'll be lucky to lose by a single goal.
Yep we’ve been complacent, lethargic, and shit. Add to that being down to 10 and a goal behind we’ve got a mountain to climb.
-
Just needs to have a calm half time chat. Keep the ball down and this is in the bag second half............gulp
-
Well if we come out of this with anything then we deserve to go up because everything conspired against us there. We were more than comfortable until that tit of a ref fucked us over. Come on boys show some spirit now and it will carry you through to the end of the season
-
This is my worry with Smith. He seems to fo wheels falling off completely after some good results.
-
Deano need to give them a bollocking at half time. That is if he hasn't lost his voice after the grief he has been giving the officials.
Although he could always do what SGT did when we were 2-0 down at half time to Crewe in the FA Cup. Walk into the dressing room and say "Don't look at me for answers, you lot got us into this mess so you lot can get us out of it" then walk straight back out.
-
Not sure how we turn this around. They're bang up for this, we're not.
I'm still really annoyed at Mings. He's been superb for us, but to do that, and on a yellow was just ridiculous. Then he's all smiles walking off.
..and now we're back to having Jedinak at CB. And for Saturday too.
-
Created absolutely fuck all.
Atrocious delivery from Hourihane from every set piece.
El Ghazi is hiding in a hole somewhere and our goalie has probably had more touches than anyone out there.
-
Shambles. Really poor half and the penalty sums up our attitude. This is when I realise how bad our defence was in the first half of the season and here we are again, Elmo, Taylor, Jedinak and Tuanzebe. Hologram is back folks, crap delivery. Jack and SJM have to do it all on their own. One game ban for Mings, against rivals. I hope to fuck Hause is back on Saturday. Their long throws will continue to cause us problems because Tuanzebe ducks under the ball, always has. Dean Smith really needs to get into the players at half time.
-
Even before the red card, not a single player has put an ounce of effort in here, complete lazyness and luckluster to a man.
-
How big that pen could be.
-
Tuanzebe aside, we've been poor. El Ghazi and Hourihane, especially.
Fingers out Villa. It's 4:40am here and I need a bit of entertainment.
-
They're kicking us off the park. Every tackle they're leaving one in. They're pressing us and we've not been smart about our possession.
The referee is absolutely atrocious, we're getting no protection.
Time to shorten the game and increase our tempo, as pressing us as they are is tiring.
The referee doesn't see handball, yet still books him. How the fuck does that work.
-
Already playing poorly, not sure what Mings 1st booking was for but I can't complain about the pen and second yellow. Jack acting the goat is pathetic as is the ref booking Deano for nothing. We are being mugged here.
-
Whelan for Hourihane to give us a bit of stability. We need to get our big players involved more. There's a reason these are in the bottom three, they're not very good and get beaten a lot.
-

He overplayed for his first booking as well. He has got that reckless streak about him
-

Which one - our miss or their score? ;)
-

Correct. Apply pressure and watch them crumble.
-
What a proper shite first half...
Playing shit and Rotherham on top.
Tammy takes the worst penalty I've seen in a long time and is saved.
Mings booked for stupidity, then second yellow and penalty for a suspect hand ball.
1-0 down and down to 10 men.
...things can only get better second half?
-
Just needs to have a calm half time chat. Keep the ball down and this is in the bag second half............gulp
Agreed - and to come out of our shell and play for a win. We may even cause them to get a few bookings that may level the playing field. Step up fellas!
-
We've simply been out muscled across the entire pitch. You've got to match them for workrate & we haven't. They are absolute shite. Ref is a ****** though.
-
Well that was really poor but that ref is a fuckin joke for sending off Mings. It wasn’t a pen or a second yellow and he could cost us the game.
Let’s hope we can appeal.
-
Sounds like the Wigan game all over .Thought all we had to do is turn up .Hope we don't play in the second half like we did at Wigan ,in big trouble if we do
-
Too slow in possession, jack playing too deep. Wasn’t sure it was a pen for me but could do with seeing it again. Ref is awful though. Leaves us in the shit at the back on Saturday.
-
We've simply been out muscled across the entire pitch. You've got to match them for workrate & we haven't. They are absolute shite. Ref is a c*** though.
Not sure the ref has been that bad. He gave us a pen. Their own pen was definite handball. Self inflicted mess
-

His first yellow was Richards esque. Pissing about skinning players in their half. He had to take a yellow to get himself out of the shit. Let his team down today.
-
We have a whole half to fix this albeit with one less player. The tragedy is a point will now seem like a win.
-
Whelan for Hourihane to give us a bit of stability. We need to get our big players involved more. There's a reason these are in the bottom three, they're not very good and get beaten a lot.
Yep. Said it before kick off - this isn't the game for Hourihane in a defensive midfield role. I wouldn't be waiting too long before subbing him for Whelan. We're not making the ball stick at all up front and Abraham's penalty really sums up the performance.
-
Can you appeal a second yellow?
-
Can you appeal a second yellow?
No
-
I’m a massive fan of Mings but he’s properly let us and himself down today , and more importantly for Saturday.
-
Well that was really poor but that ref is a fuckin joke for sending off Mings. It wasn’t a pen or a second yellow and he could cost us the game.
Let’s hope we can appeal.
You can't appeal a yellow card I'm afraid.
-
Very poor first half, too slow to move the ball, and now down to 10-men I think a draw would now be a very good result. I don't think I've seen a worse penalty than Tammy's all season. It could all have been so different if he tucks that away...
I think the only hope is that they tire badly and give us a chance in the last 20, but we'll need to be much smarter in possession for that to happen. Will be interesting to see how Rotherham start the 2nd half, will they carry on 'as is', or will they shut up shop given this is a massive 3 points for them? I guess our next sub will depend on which of those it is.
I can't see us going 45 minutes without creating a couple of chances, so let's just hope we take them.
-
When the wheels come off, we look so spectacularly poor. A neutral observer would put Rotherham 6th and Villa in the bottom three. When we are crap, we only have three players, Jack, SJM and Abraham. The rest seem to hide away somewhere. Yes, we will still be in the play off positions come what may tonight, but we have to sharpen our attitude against the bad as well as the good. Way off the pace this evening so far.
-
Sounds like the ref is (yet another) shocker - WM saying it's all about the Andrew Madley show. I thought he was a PL ref but that's his brother apparently
-
I’m a massive fan of Mings but he’s properly let us and himself down today , and more importantly for Saturday.
Didn't handle it.
-
WM saying they've seen replays and it wasn't handball. I've only seen the clip I posted so hard to know.
-
Would say chill, we have won our last six which has put us in a fantastic position after the dark days of January and February.
Yes it's a match I expected to win but Rotherham are decent at home. Defeat would make the run in more tricky but it won't be the end of the world.
-
Sounds like the ref is (yet another) shocker - WM saying it's all about the Andrew Madley show. I thought he was a PL ref but that's his brother apparently
He's a c**t. Walking off at half time doing that fake over-chewing 'hard-man' thing to show how much he doesn't care what people think. With his linesman grinning like a twat. Absolutely appalling first half display.
-
El Ghazi off. Kodjia on.
-
Kod on for Anwar.
-
I think they were both pens & it was a2nd booking for Mings too. But this ref is stil a ******..

Yes can’t believe some on here think he’s been ok, he’s been absolutely shocking
-
I’m a massive fan of Mings but he’s properly let us and himself down today , and more importantly for Saturday.
Didn't handle it.
Where does it hit him?
-
El Ghazi off. Kodjia on.
Good
-
Kodjia on for El Ghazi at HT.
-
Kodj on
-
We were poor, partly due to them being disruptive and very physical, but no way that was a penalty to them.
Mings had his arms by his side and it hit his chest/shoulder - not just because of how I saw it but the movement of the ball after (you get a different deflection from a trailing arm).
The ref is having a shocker, so perhaps no surprise. Going to be hard, but we could do with getting something from this. Our penalty miss could be very costly.
-
Glad to see Kodjia. He brings energy and drive.

Ha! He'd do a better job for sure

PEN VILLA
-
This useless ref given us another penalty I see....
-
Would say chill, we have won our last six which has put us in a fantastic position after the dark days of January and February.
Yes it's a match I expected to win but Rotherham are decent at home. Defeat would make the run in more tricky but it won't be the end of the world.
I’m more worried about our defence against Bristol and what getting schooled at home will do for our confidence.
-
Penalty!
-
El Ghazi off. Kodjia on.
Oh great. He's been such a fantastic asset, these last... 50 games.
-
Kod
SCORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Another penalty to us. Handball

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS

Was thinking more of the first silly one tbh. Once you get one early you’re always treading a thin line especially with a dick of a ref like this.
-
Kodjia on for El Ghazi at HT.
Don’t understand that, putting one of the laziest tracking back players on we have
-
El Ghazi off. Kodjia on.
Oh great. He's been such a fantastic asset, these last... 50 games.
Oops.

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did Kodjia seriously just bang in a pen after my shit-talk @ him?? Hahahaha unbelievable. I'll take it.

Shocking decision so far.

Thank fuck for that. Get in.

Fucking great penalty that! Right in the corner! Come on Villa!!

Well Bristol defence is hardly watertight, conceded 6 goals in their last 3 v Wigan, Sheffield United and WBA so I'd expect us to score at least once.
Might be a bit of a pinball scoreline like the games we were having pre xmas.
1-1 anyway.
-
Thank goodness for that, right back in there now, let's put this to bed get the 3 points and put a healthy distance between us and Boro/Derby
-
ALLEZ ALLEZ ALLEZ

Thats how you take a fucking penalty.

Now that's how to take a penalty well done Kodj, come on Villa

Get in now win it.

Fucking brilliant from Jack.

Indeed

Very poor first half, too slow to move the ball, and now down to 10-men I think a draw would now be a very good result. I don't think I've seen a worse penalty than Tammy's all season. It could all have been so different if he tucks that away...
I think the only hope is that they tire badly and give us a chance in the last 20, but we'll need to be much smarter in possession for that to happen. Will be interesting to see how Rotherham start the 2nd half, will they carry on 'as is', or will they shut up shop given this is a massive 3 points for them? I guess our next sub will depend on which of those it is.
I can't see us going 45 minutes without creating a couple of chances, so let's just hope we take them.
What the fuck do I know!!!
-
What a six minutes that was!!
-
What's this new chant from the away, sounds pretty good.
Might not actually be new as it sounds familar but can't make out the words.
-
Guardian live score saying 2-1 - is that right?
-
Get another!
-
That was just sensational from Jack - not the goal (which was great), but carrying the ball and keeping possession with three around him, then powering to the edge of their box. Just phenomenal stuff. So few players in the game today can do what he does, we bloody lucky to have him!
-

To us, yes.

He's giving the Premier league notice, you've seen Hazard now your going to see the real deal....

Back a few pages, but when did Kodj get 45 mins?
And yes, fan-fucking-tastic!

I think Paulie is right - the commentator has had it.

Sounds like Kodjia is having his best game since 16/17.
-
FT yet?

Captain Jack https://twitter.com/villareport/status/1116068827593416705
That's a thing of real beauty.
Watch the longer version, ok there's acouple of 1-2s but he pretty much beat half their team from in his own half to set that up, that's why he's the best player in this league.
-
Yep great to see jimmy getting his mojo back.
I was about to berate Elmo before the goal but he made a great call to square it.
-
Anyone want to guess which forum started a 'Other Games' thread when we went 1 down?

He's one of the best players in the country, as will be on show hopefully next season.

Bringing Kodj on when 1-0 down and down to ten men shows the difference between Deano and Bruce in a nutshell

Thats a goal of the season contender. Excellent work from Jack.
-
McGuinn is just magnificent
-
He's our equivalent of Lionel Messi.
-

Does it start with Small?

Is he as good as McGinn though?

Ha Only managed to put WM just after HT, they sounded gutted we had another penalty. Following game on here/flash score
-
The Rotherham captain is a niggly moaning twat. I hope he gets sent off.
Then we could say "That's all Vaulks".

I don’t think I could ever tire of punching Vaulks in the bollocks.

fuckin ell well done jedi

Yep.
Tammy missed first half, Kod scored second.

Rotherham applying a bit more pressure now.

I'd prefer kicking them unless you are Warwick Davies.
-

Abraham missed, 12 minutes

Let’s find a third goal boys and get out of here

Well he's just got a well deserved yellow.

The FA need to ban running round like school kids in a playground at corners with immediate effect.

Whelo please
-
We’ve played better with 10 men

We look as if we’re playing 3-3-3 unbelievable

-
Bringing Kodj on when 1-0 down and down to ten men shows the difference between Deano and Bruce in a nutshell
Bruce never understood the concept of defending from the front. Kodj running at them is ideal for us being a man down. McGinn came up with a great piece of skill to get himself out of the corner in the right back position earlier and ended up in their penalty box.
Vaulks booked and about time.
-

It weird isn’t it ? Reminds me of those hippos that used to be on the Beeb between programmes

Vaulks booked at long last. What a cock.
-
Push out come on boys!

I'm nervous

Close to a 3rd

So close

Like a poor mans Rory Delap.

Hourihane should have made that 3 there

So, so close. Well worked.

Word of advice - don’t get too excited when Doug sells to the American guy.

They look like us when we had 11 men
-
Norwich just gone 2 - 1 up. Good for us, better chance they will be promoted by the last game.

Was that Neil Taylor leaving his man for dead while attacking down the left flank? :)

Great by tuanzebe. He started badly but has really stepped up since Mings dropped him in it.

great result, just hope that the extra effort of 60 mins of 10 men doesn't have a knock on for the next few matches.

7 in a row.
4 in a row away from home for the first time since 2009 if the commentator's correct.
-
Well done Villa!! Mighty win considering the mountain we had to climb. Excellent result, so proud of them tonight!
-
Our ten men beat their twelve men. These are the nights where things are won or lost. A cold wet night in Rotherham. Even if maybe it wasn't particularly wet or cold. ;)

Last two away games we have conceded first and then gone on to win 3-1
With 11 men
Okay, just 2-1 then!!

Fuck YEah!!!!

Well done to Smith, every single player and every single Villa fan...credit to the club. Fuckin love you!!!

I love reading this thread after the game, especially if I already know the score. It's like gold. Well done to all that contributed today.
