Blackburn Rovers v Aston Villa Match Thread

[Beijing Villan]

Evening lads.

Ireland - from Man City player of the year two years ago to being subbed for a pensioner. He really needs to get his head together or his career could be in freefall.

[pauliewalnuts]

It's fair enough to point out that we've a dreadful injury list, but the players who have let us down to day - I'm thinking Friedel, Ireland, Warnock - are players of no little experience, who you would expect to be first choicers.

[PaulWinch again]

Defence all over the place.

[Nastylee]

This has 2-0 to them all over it. Might as well start the post match moaning.

mmmm, too wasteful in attack and so easy to play through. Think we're going to have to habg on in there until Janauary.

[CJ]

Should have been 3 then

[D.boy]

This season is so up and down from week to week. We just never know which Villa team is going to turn up.

[Jimbo]

We're being taken apart like a well-oiled Mechano set.

[VillaZogmariner]

Lucky there.

[Richard C]

We now need 4 to win because of the inevitable stoppage time goal thet we let in.

[Reality]

Ireland is atrocious. Get him out, along with Warnock and a new keeper.

[Lambert and Payne]

It happened to us last week, lets do it to someone else for a change

[usav]

Another big, tall bastard comes on for Blackburn.

Big Sam knows his strengths, that's for sure.

[Jimbo]

Better from Downing.

[CJ]

Great shot by Downing

[Dan England]

There is still a point in this
