Aston Villa v Wigan Athletic Match Thread

[Toronto Villa]

great ball from Bannan. Bent should have scored.

[PaulWinch again]

Great goalkeeping by Al Habsi.

[Monty]

Bannan is just so good.

[VancouverLion]

Gabby & Bazza wide or is Gabby up front?

[TheSandman]

Bent really should have done more with his chances so far today. Our poor shot success rate is hardly getting any better today.

At least our play from the two magicians in midfield is decent though.

[Matt Collins]

I really don't like the diamond in midfield. I think it makes us ponderous and narrow

Bannan playing really well though. Lovely vision

[The Left Side]

Villa look so much better with BB in the midfield

[Toronto Villa]

Fuck me. Great ball to Gabby, who makes a good run and then plays a shit ball with Ireland making a good run.

[Ozzjim]

Importantly though, we have created much more that usual - admittedly mostly through Bannan being able to hit passes defences don't expect. Not sure our forwards do either yet!

Got to take chances though.

At least we seem to have a bit of invention, even if things aren't really coming off at the minute.

[Toronto Villa]

might have written the Bruce obituary too soon. 2-2

[Monty]

Have to say, this is much better football.

[Toronto Villa]

Ireland getting into good positions, but poor shot

[PaulWinch again]

Ireland getting more involved.

[Edvard Remberg]

This is really frustrating...Ireland can't finish, and Delph is having a shocker. Bannan spreading passes well
