Birmingham City v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Simon Ward]

I suppose we didn't lose!

Also to add, don't know about anyone else but absolutely no bother leaving the ground. First time I've ever been and not had any trouble (think it's my fifth trip).

Just walked along side the noses, was joking with a couple of 'em on the way into town (they probably didn't realise I was Villa tbf).

Much better atmosphere and enjoyable day because of it.

That's because with such a small crowd the police can do a man to man marking job.

They were jumping up and down shouting come on as the road split's, but it was all handbags.

We were amongst the first few out and it seemed very calm compared to the last few years, obviously if we'd got a late winner again things may have been different, although there was Police everywhere and if it went off they would've been on top of it

I think being happy with a point against this absolute rabble shows how far we've dropped. I'm not unhappy with the point, just aware that we should have got three, and badly needed three in our fight for survival. 

I hate this kind of comment.  A point away from home this year is a good point regardless of the opposition.  Blues have a good home record and were rubbing their hands at the prospect of pushing us further into the shit today.  We've had a shocking of late run but managed to dig in and secure a very valuable point.  The noses ain't beaten us now in the league for about 5 years.

I'm happy with the point given the circumstances - just another 18 to go(!) and we can then start to rebuild the squad.  I fancy us against the Arabs next week as well.

Gabby is shit.

Gabby is shit.

No he isn't.

[Blackcountry Villa]

Gabby is shit.

No he isn't.

Imo he is, i was saying it even when we were around 3rd/4th and everyone was up his arse, he's such a limited footballer who has no football brain and can't finish.

Decent result today, but two poor teams.

[gervilla]

Gabby is shit.

No he isn't.

He is out on the wing. Maybe thats a bit harsh but FFS stick him up top if your gonna play him.

[Dave]

I don't know if to be happy or sad. Great we didn't loose but if we lost he would of been sacked

This might earn me a reprimand from the mods, but you really are a miserable twat aren't you?

Consider yourself severely reprimanded Dave.

[villa1]

He's not shit but yes, he is limited. Don't forget he's playing out of position too.

[Legion]

Correct. He should be up front.

[Bottom Right 89]

Gabby is shit.

Today is the first time in 4 visits to the sty that he hasn't scored - cut him some slack although the Fonz must be pushing him for a starting place next week.

Yes.  Put your hands on your head and stand in the corner and think about what you've done.  Bad Dave.

[Des Little]

Another observation from today is that Downing is still to grow a pair.  One bottle job for a 60/40 tackle in his favour was proof of this.

You get nothing for a pair not in this game.

Correct. He should be up front.

36 goals from 121 games in the last 3.5 seasons including a few penalties. He's not shit, but he's not good enough if we are going to do what Spurs have done at some point. Very happy with him as part of the squad, but we need better up front as first choice.
