Aston Villa v Gloryhunters Post-Match Thread

How did Vidic not get booked for doing exactly the same thing Young did?

Oh, that's right, because he would have had to have sent him off, that's why.

Compared to the tonking that everyone including me thought at the start that was a brilliant performance even with the ending.

Should they have finished with 9 men on the pitch, let alone 10.

[JUAN PABLO]

you watch us go next season....     so proud of them..

[Richard C]

Desperately unlucky to not win that, we didn't bottle it. Great performance from the young lads, would have taken a point before hand but this just feels like a defeat.  Those smelly lucky manure bastards. i hate them.

Before the game from looking at the lineups I thought we'd get destroyed, but I'm glad to be proven wrong.

A Villa team with 9 injuries almost beat a very strong Manure side. We just needed to keep doing what we were doing, but when Gabby went off it became more difficult and we just tried to defend the lead. The kids played brilliantly though, a lot of positives can be taken from this despite not holding on for the win.

[Somniloquism]

Bottlers. Our defence is shit and have no composure what so ever, 2 balls into the box and 2 goals.

Funny how it is two balls into the box as Macheda scored from outside of it. What about the 30 other balls in they never scored from.

I certainly didn't think we'd get a tonking before the game or after the line ups were announced. I think our kids that have been developed under Tony McAndrew and Sid are excellent and have no fear. They played a very open and inventive game and will continue to develop.

2-0 up, finishes 2-2.  Conclusive proof that, 15 years on, you really don't win anything with kids?

[PhilGibson]

Thats 3 games on the trot where we have conceded silly goals, including 2 of those games conceding in the last 10 minutes. It is not down to the young kids that we conceded its marking and lack of concentration by the very experienced defenders, Collins, Dunne, Warnock and Luke Young have a lot of games between them.

The young lads acquited themselves very well and we are looking very good for the future.

By the way welcome back Mr Agbonlahor.

If GH can add a piece or two in January, I am convinced that we have what it takes to get into a European spot for next season. This young team will only get better, and the injury situation will improve.

In some way the injury situation has brought the kids on leaps and bounds................

[PaulWinch again]

Ashley booked for going into crowd, Vidic not and he would have been on second yellow.

[Holtenderinthesky]

Having calmed down a bit I have to say that we were excellent at times today and fair play to the boys and to GH,  However it is very concerning that we lose so many points from winning positions.  Still, we look a lot better than we have on recent games and let's hope we can learn from this.

[Toronto Villa]

He never saw those. He didn't see any of the positives that the vast majority of us have seen today. Yes, we're all gutted, but I truly hate meaningless uneducated posts from people who don't understand balance.

[Small Rodent]

Excellent performance from the young lads. I maybe wrong, but I don't think we would have got the result with a full team. Some of the injured players must look and learn.

Of course all the press will be about Man Utds comeback.

[Rigadon]

I'd like Villa to question why neither Brown nor Vidic were sent off today.  Not through the media, but quietly and quickly.  We've been fucked over by bottler refs against these too many times.
