Blackpool v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

Makoun was having a fine game until he thought he was playing for Cameroon in 1990. Just goes to show how people see the game from a different angle.

Having a few beers (and better) - i would like to apologize to the mods (and hope to meet them soon)

For fucks sake!!!!!!!!!!!! How can you think Ash's performance was bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Billy Walker]

I thought Makoun had a decent first half.  His tackle and pass that lead to Gabby's goal was a great piece of skill and awareness.  A draw away from home when we're down to ten men?  I'll take that.   There's nowt wrong with our character.

Despite all the revisionism, we're were never in trouble under MON.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Like MON never left. Clueless.

Do results mean absolutely nothing to people on this site?

Would you be happy to only shag ugly slappers? Afterall, a shag is a shag, no?

Well according to you it wouldn't matter what she looked like, as long as you shagged her in style.

We played the football equivalent of an ugly slapper today, and we didn't shag them. Under MON we could shag anybody.

However, we were also prone to a fair bit of foreplay, followed by erectile disfunction, and ultimate dissatisfaction.

My original point was about the importance (or lack of it to some), of results. It might have been like MON never left, until you look at the table, our points total, and our goal difference.

I'm sure even (I'm not going to say the Blessed Martin) MON would have struggled with the mess and injuries we've had this year. The point is, despite having all our players back, a few new signings, we still look cheap. We should be able to turn over teams like Blackpool, despite their great effort, you would hope that the difference in class would show. We put the effort in but are clueless when we have the ball.

Remember the last few seasons where everything went through Ashley, now it appears everything goes through Downing. How frustrating is it to see Ashley play in the hole for England with such freedom and vision, then turn up for Villa and be unable to reproduce that form. We have so much talent in the squad, it's a crying shame to see it so wasted. Something has to change.

Now I go start the Ashley fan club....And we want good players for our club? for fucks sake, when there is one, we alienate him

Blimey a balanced view, what you doing on here?

Edvard, agree i thought his link up play was excellent, he got carried away at the end because the ref was giving everything against us, the replay showed it was a pen aswell

[TheSandman]

I really think Bannan and Albrighton should be used a lot more than they have been.

Both can give us something we lack. Bannan the 'sidness' in central midfield and Albrighton the directness we lack out wide. Our lack of directness was glaring today.

Do you not remember our worst ever run under mon? We were fucking shocking. If we hadn't have had all those points on the table we'd have been right in the shit

Thanks because I thought I was the only one

[The Situation]

So have we now got two weeks off seeing as we're not playing next week for some reason?

Message to GH -  you are allowed to sign a defensive coach outside the transfer window.  It might be an idea to do so.

A very good idea. Then all we'd need is a goalkeeping coach, a winger coach, a midfield coach, a striker coach and a motivational speaker and we'd be sorted. And probably a new fitness coach.

Possibly but  the basic errors at the back, especially gifting free headers and goals at set pieces, have cost us a lot of points.   Both Fulham games, Blackburn away, Sunderland away, and today just off the top off my head.  There's up to 8 possible extra points if we could just defend set pieces.  I think it would be a good place to start.
