Aston Villa v Reading Match Thread

[Risso]

Baker is a very good defender, looking for the positives.

[Malandro]

anyone seen the General? We are going about winning the Champions League in a strange way

[PaulWinch again]

Get Ireland on. They should have scored, shocking set piece defending.

Jason Roberts is basically Cyrille Regis without the goals.  Or the pace.

[JUAN PABLO]

who says we aint lucky ?     could have been 1 to Reading there

[Matt Collins]

Bloody hell they're gonna score from a corner at some point. That was gilt edged!

[citizenDJ]

Tight game. Could just need one goal to get all three points. Chances coming but not being taken. Needs a real poacher to convert a half chance.

Bowery time?

Are we in a time machine and already in a Championship game, after some moment when Bowery proved any ability to poach a half chance?

No, just a poor attempt at humourously pointing out the silliness of not having Bent on the bench.

[ez]

Why can't we put corners in like that

[Total knob-head]

Fuck me that was close from Holman.

Bit nervy at the moment though, Reading are coming into the game.

[Irish villain]

Can sense the atmosphere getting a bit tense.

[Risso]

We're not unlucky, just rubbish.

[supertom]

Le Fondre has had a couple of decent chances. A better side would have us 2 down by now.

We need to stop rushing it in the final third. Take a fucking touch sometimes! It's a bit desperate.

[ozzjim]

Need to stop going fucking long here!

[Apyadg]

Free header in the box, we've got off lightly there.

[Jimbo]

This game is like a couple of worms having a scrap.
