Digne's defending for their goal was probably the worst defending I have ever seen. I've seen some people mention match fixing, and in all honesty that defending was so bad you have to wonder if they have a point?
Awful connection you have made there Rico. And by the way where were you when we had Richards and Lescott in the team?

I've been going to the Villa since 1977 if that answers your question

Bournemouth not a easy place to go - but man that second half was pretty bad. We were kucky to escape witha  point.  Martinez was exceptional without him we would have lost that easy.

1 point against Everton  brentford  and Bournemouth  is pretty poor tbh

Bit unfortunate to only get one point from those three games though. Struggling to break well organised defences down. Can't keep relying on Rogers.

I agree we rely too heavily  on rogers. The likes of sancho dougie and bailey need to help in the creativity  department

Buendia has been disappointing  in last few games as well

He scored a belter in our last away game, where we won.

Agreed, wouldn't be criticising Buendia too much. He's had a great season so far. Need likes of Sancho, Luiz, Bailey, Tammy to step up and quickly.

No it does not as I didn't question your Villa fan longevity, my point is you have surely seen enough to know what you said (worst defending ever seen) is probably not correct.

As a moment of defending it was bizarre from a very consistent player

It was up there in terms of totally inept defending by a Villa player.

Still think his game is massively lacking in the creative area

Might as well bring Tony Moon back if we’re getting the band together again.

Managed to catch most of the game whilst sat outside a bar in Verona (which was nice). Really well taken goal by Rogers but the defending for their goal was unbelievably poor and that's being kind. Not sure what Digne was playing at but letting a player run from nearly the half way line to score was just awful all round. Just glad it didn't go on to cost us the game.

Unlike Clampy I was at home in a wet and miserable West Yorkshire! The defending was still crap.

Defending looks different in Verona to Wetherby.
