Aston Villa v Reading Post-Match Thread

[saunders_heroes]

Brilliant to get the win, but by Christ that was another awful performance. We need experience in the team. No more kids!

[Jarpie]

Ireland has the obvious class so badly lacking, it really pisses me off that he didnt start. Albrighton was terrible again when he came on.

3 points and i suspect that we can improve on the performance- we will have to- because I dont think playing that poorly will often be enough to win.

I wouldn't be surprised if we'd sell Albrighton to some championship side. Shame really, he was so promising in the first six season under Houllier.

[PaulWinch again]

Oh and it does worry me that he brings on Albrighton, because he just isn't good enough. I'm not happy saying that, but it's true.

[Fergal]

It's all down to my Admiral's Pie. 3 times i've had one at HT this season when watching games, City and Swindon away in the cup and tonight. Do you reckon the staff at VP will cook me one next time i'm there?

I think it's down to a combination of my WIBBLE and the fact I sat in my hotel room naked apart from wearing only my left sock on my right foot and my right sock on my knob...

[rbcuk]

Ireland has to start the next game, looked a different team when he came on, Albrighton shocking as usual, Wish bannan would try and stop his hollywood passing, which hardly comes off....

[paulcomben]

Also - A GOAL FROM A CORNER!

It had been aeons.

[onje_villa]

Dire. Depressing. Clueless. Hoofball.
But we desperately needed the 3 points so I'm delighted with them.

Actually thought Benteke wasn't that great tonight though he tried hard, can't actually believe his header made it into the net, seemed to go past about 5 players.

There was some hopelessly poor technique and decisions in the final third. I just hope the result spurs the performances on because Reading were very poor and we made very hard work of it.

Are you in the Red Hot Chili Peppers?

[paulcomben]

QPR highlights v Mackems show that THEY USE THE WINGS AND GET CROSSES IN! FFS Lambert, why don't we?!

[PaulWinch again]

Oh and we've got enough promising kids now. It's time to supplement them with quality experienced players and stop alienating the ones we already have.

[Simba]

Wibble or not we aren't out of it yet are we. Everyone around us has the game in hand and we didn't look composed or threatening at all.

Still, lets enjoy those three points 'cos without 'em we would be having a real blood fest on here. It will do the lads confidence a power of good and I think we will beat QPR and the confidence will come. I hope.

[Irish villain]

We are all together as a club tonight, that is what is important. I feared a loss could cause some splintering.....

Onwards and wibble.

[Chris Jameson]

Wonder if the attendance was higher than the viewing figures for the second half?

[WALTERS WARRIORS]

Result excellent. Performance very poor except Benteke-Guzan-Lowton. Baker great aerial presence. Albrighton-Sunday morning player. Terrible. Ireland a must against QPR. WTF is going on with Bent-Lambert ?

[Drummond]

Another clean sheet. Another goal from our 21 year old striker. A hard fought win. 3 points from the top half having just played 2x Manc and 1x North London.

All with a team with average age 23.

Brilliant.

Feeling positive?

Yep, I'm convinced that Lambert's attitude and approach is right. The team are working hard and learning.

It's hardly beautiful but we won.
