Aston Villa v Wigan Athletic Match Thread

[lovejoy]

This is one of the worst first half performances I've seen us put in.

Up against some pretty strong competition.

Does a draw guarantee safety?

And to think some fans think this management team deserve another season.  Pure lunacy.

Where has our Bazza gone, long time passing?
Where has our Bazza gone, long time ago?
Where has our Bazza gone?
Replaced by Pires he has gone.
Oh, when will Gary Mac ever learn?
Oh, when will Gary Mac ever learn?

Where have all the good defenders gone, long time passing?
Where have all the good defenders gone, long time ago?
Where have all the good defenders gone?
Turned to shit everyone.
Oh, when will Gary Mac ever learn?
Oh, when will Gary Mac ever learn?

Kyle Walker is horse shit and needs to go back to Spurs asap.

Dear god what has happened to us. Get Heskey off before he's sent off. Go 4-5-1 and try and get hold of this midfield and protect our centre backs please...wouldn't mind seeing Delph on, or Albrighton on and shove Ash in the middle behind Bent.

So I expect Pires will be on in a mo then...

I don't think it does mathematically.

Realistically I think it does though.

he's like bale, he can't fucking defend.

[Jockey Randall]

Closely contested as expected. Our defence is woefully bad for this level. I wouldn't be surprised to see the lot of them shipped out at this rate. Some of the attacking players must be wondering why they bother. Outside of the defence I think the rest have done well. I still think we'll win this.

If the season wasn't so near the end i wouldn't think much of our chances. Meltdown.

Except Bale can cross, pass and shoot.  This lad has misplaced so many passes it's not funny.  I really think he is utter garbage.

[RonBurgundy]

At times Walker just looks like a good athlete - not sure about inate footballing skills or intelligence when with the ball starting to wonder if he's all that

[lovejoy]

Remember the days when not beating Wigan at home was seen as a disaster? I'd take a draw right now.

[Olneythelonely]

Erm, I think we've been ok apart from the first 10 minutes. Not that ok is good enough mind.

[ROBBO]

Two things stood out in that half, Kyle Walker is a liability at full back gave the ball away in midfield for fucks sake for their goal and any manager worth his salt would have taken Heskey off straight away. We are rudderless all over the pitch, a few good players but absolutely no cohesion, you would think they only met each other this morning.
