   Makoun will make a big difference.Too pedestrian and slow at releasing the ball from the centre of midfield today.Petrov and NRC, looked stale to me.

  Speaking to a Blose fan after the game, he thought it was a fair result, as i probably do, but as he said, your kids, with a couple of good additions, will mean we have a very good team.And i think that.

  Friedel.......what was he doing in the last minute?.......replace in the summer

  KWalker..........bestplayer in 1st half, not too bad in the 2nd either, a great addition, be nice to have him on a permanent, and if that means releasing AYoung then so be it.

  Collins......got the goal, but a mistake every game.Silly foul to give away, no where near as solid as last year.Distribution terrible.Replace.Don't know why Carlos never played today instead of.

   Dunne......OK today, no mistakes, tries to play the ball out at least.Short term , keep him.

   Clark......our weak link today, kept getting caught out of position.Great prospect just worried his lack of pace will means he never realises his full potential.

   NRC......better out of the 2, but not good enough.

   Petrov.......for me very poor, far too slow and too negative.We will be a far better team when he is out of it.

   Downing......£10m, i would be very tempted.Not enough bottle to be a top performer, N'Zogbia for the same money, yes please.

   Albrighton......top, top quality delivery.Worth having in the team just for the 2/3 top crosses he puts in.

   Gabby......thought he was poor today, and for me his movement, or lack of it, demonstrates his lack of knowledge of the game.Needs competition.

   Carew........useless, never held the ball up, failed to link up, gives stupid free kicks away.Fonz come on and looked far better.I really like the Fonz, good feet, good awareness, great shot, looks a really good prospect.

   Bannan......not his best game, but a really good prospect.

not far off that mate...    pretty spot on

edit..  I did think Brad made one excellent save with his right hand low thou..

TBF we are at their level this year unfortunately. The difference is we are having an appalling season, they are having a normal one.

Twat is trying to big himself up by pretending some how he has improved SHA to be at our level. Wake up McLeish we have had a nightmare season you are still shit!

[deano22]

Can anybody tell me if we sold all our allocation for todays game against the shit. I'm sure we did but some Blose fan says we didn't

Correct, we have sunk to their level. They claim to have bridged the gap. Not quite, we've done it for them.

Delusional fuckwits.

[Legion]

Look at the seats in the shot when Collins celebrated his goal.

Yes, they gave us an initial 1500 and then another 200 late doors when they realised that they couldn't sell them to their own scum bags.

Tin pot outfit.

From where I was I could see that  area reserved for Villa was about 20% empty. However  to the right and tier above it was 95% empty.

Cheers. I knew we would have

he needs to understand that we're level because we are close to being at our lowest ebb. They are where they should be. We've just temporarily come down to their permanent level.

Ok, McLeish, why have you gone 8 games without beating us in the League then?

Cheers, Liam. Your only decent contribution to the game, thank you. You're a Villa legend.

Thanks for noticing a few of us kept the faith aftab.... we played ok and always looked a threat. On another day they would not have got their break for theirs, and 3-4 of ours would have gone in. Balance of chances we should have had it IMO.
