Got out of jail, they had a good goal disallowed!

This

OR....they had an offside goal disallowed for offside.

Simply can not lose Tuesday night , its really tight down there with Blackburn winning.Looking like it's going to go to the last game of the season to see who goes.

Pretty shit overall if we're being honest. They were there for the taking yet they had the best chances.

Given - 6
Cuellar - 7
Collins - 7
Baker- 7
Lichaj - 7
Herd - 7
Ireland - 7
N'Zogbia - 5
Alby - 5
Gabby - 6
Weimann - 7

Heskey - 6
Bannan - 5
Hutton - 5

Youngsters need more experience and I'm glad they're getting it. However when your wingers can't create anything or beat a man (without sticking your head down and running into five more men, Charles) then you're not going to be scoring many.

Thanks for that, really good stream.  Shame no goal!  Perhaps you could arrange one (preferably for us) next time?

I will no problem, it would mean getting rid of the twat in charge of the team though. Anyone object?

It looked like it was a good goal.

Seeing the replay Bendtners hand is clearly offside....however it seems harsh to disallow it for it but by the letter of the law is it offside.

[Lambert and Payne]

The officiating wasn't the best, Wiemann tripped over in the 1st half when through on goal and Mignolet shoulda been booked. Also there was one offside given against Wiemann when he wasn't and would have been through.
Win v Bolton keep us up?

Win Tuesday and you can consider us safe.

I must say I was quite impressed with the team's attitude today, actually. One of the things that I had worried about (in amongst the million other things) was that the players wouldn't have enough fight in them. I think they probably do.

Another good showing from the young players too. Weimann, Herd, Lichaj, Baker all look like solid Premier League players to me.

Now off to support my Miss's team (Spurs) and hope they beat QPR!

He was off. Only just, but offside nonetheless.

[PaulMcGrathsNo5Shirt]

It comes to something when we're relying on Spurzzzz, Swansea and Fulham to help us out.

Fucking garbage, negative, boring shit football. I don't remember their keeper really having to do a great deal after the first 24 seconds.
I'm not necessarily just blaming McLeish, the coaching at Villa Park seriously needs looking at, our passing, movement and willingness to run off the ball was absolute wank.

McLeish out, Grant Out!

[robinleper]

Can anybody tell why that we play a right footed winger on the left and a left footed player on the right? This is a serious question I don't get it !!

Thanks It would be nice to know how many goals we have scored from using this system this season It also looks awful when BB and Albrighton keep having to look inside when they get the ball in their own half and clearing the ball straight to the opposition when they could gain extra yards with a bit of "push and run" to take the pressure off us defensively


so they can attack the full back on their weaker side. When it works as it did with Ash and Downing it is very effective

It does not work though at all with these two, has not all season, both end up looking shit and we look tactically stupid. Get them down the propper sides and give them a chance of hitting form. I have not seen either of them play well on the WRONG side!

[Lambert and Payne]

N'Zogbia tries to do far to much, it winds me up when we could have been in promising positions if he fucking passed. Starting to see why he dont play...

[ROBBO]

We are a really shit team. Weiman best for us Heskey did well, Albrighton shocking.
