Aston Villa v Wigan Athletic Post-Match Thread

[ktvillan]

You forgot Wolves VS.  They can still get 43 points.  Blackburn only have to win one to join us on 42 points and their GD is 1 worse than ours.

The last game of the season is Wolves v Blackburn

Blackburn could in theory beat Man Yoo.  Anyway it;s highly unlikely and if we do go down from this position you just have to hold your hands up and say it was meant to be.

So many negative posts on here. Look on the positive side, we can only improve next season.

As for today, poor in defence, pointless in midfield and AWOL in attack.

Only Downing and NRC deserve any credit - and that's only because the tried.

Well that was pants. Again. Can we just stop the season now - I want to get off

[garyshawsknee]

It's the same central midfield pairing that use to struggle at home against teams like Wigan under M'ON. Surely it would've been worth throwing on Delph,or even the Fonz for the last 20 minutes.

[Walmley_Villa]

It all went shit when Gary Mac decided to change a team that was dominating the game by bringing Super Mark on instead of the Fonz. Young and Downing were causing them plenty of problems and a straight swop was all that was needed. Heskey needs sacking as he is nuts. The team didn't have a clue what to do after the change.

If they beat Man U, then they play wolves though and considering wolves have to win all their games and win well to go above us, that would put blackburn on a worse gd than us. It is never going to happen. See these two games out and forget about this season as quickly as possible!

Lost the will to live in the second half.

That's about all I have to say on it.

[charleeco7]

Well rubbish to watch. Rio and downing played well. Rest huffed and puffed a bit but I would think they want the season to end as much as the rest of us.

Heskey had to come off or he would have been sent off. I've not read the rest of this thread but apparently it kicked off in the tunnel at half time.

[curiousorange]

I don't know why people are banging on about Blackburn's results - I only care about the results of the teams in the bottom four because if they go our way by this time tomorrow we won't have to worry.

Could be worse we could be in Blues shoes

[Phil from the upper holte]

I'm so glad I didn't go today, I definately won't be going against Liverpool, what a pile of utter fucking shit.

Besides the goal we had 2 shots on goal in 95 mins of football. Downing and NRC played well, apart from that it was dire. I can picture a very empty VP next season

[London Villan]

Heskey was an embarrassment, rolling around like he'd be shot, only to jump up and run faster than I've ever seen him move to kick off at the ref... he was lucky not to get sent off. If he showed as much passion playing the game in the time he has been at Villa Park he might have won a few more people over.

A complete joke, please leave.

[atomicjam]

That was very depressing. Downing played ok, Reo made a few tackles, Ashley scored a good goal, Dunne gave away a corner from their half, the defence watched them score, they had lots of corners. Thats about it. we just do not look like we have a plan, a team playing together or any ida how to change things. G Mac is way out of his depth. Please let the season end.

[Toronto Villa]

we weren't good enough to win, and not bad enough to lose. Playing Wigan at home that really isn't very good. It will be all over soon, and we can all breathe a collective sigh of relief. I'm more convinced than ever that GH isn't coming back as manager, and either way McAllister won't be here. He isn't astute enough to be a manager irrespective of how good he was as a player. We need some fresh players, and fresh ideas. It's all very stale now.

[TheSandman]

Downing and NRC deserve some praise.

The rest were wank.

If we don't make changes quickly then I can see Villa Park being like a morgue next season.
