West Bromwich Albion v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[MonsXI]

Delph going off was a big hindrance to us. Didn't think i'd be saying that a month ago.

His performances in the last game and a half have been the best by any centre mid this season at Villa ( admittedly that's not saying much)

[mattjpa]

As an aside, what did people think of Graham Dorrans today? Didn't do that bad but wasn't fantastically influential.

not for us im afraid. I did keep an eye on him and didnt think he was any better than anything we have to be honest

[Legion]

And that second half 'performance' ladies and gentlemen, exactly why we will get relegated this season.

Fuck off, you're really boring now.

Wanker

Pack it in the pair of you.

Well not quite sure why that twat told me to fuck off. I didnt know I kept say we would be relegated to the point of it being boring.

One more from either of you and you're banned. It's that simple.

I've only had one go, he's had two. Surely I can sneak another in?

Please don't.

I'm joking by the way.

[Brian Taylor]

How did we let that happen. I watched game on telly in Salisbury and left the pub happy after 40mins to rejoin disrupted train..Get to Sidmouth and they did it again!! Oh well.  Better than nothin I suppose.

[Mortimer's Bear]

Why do we ask our best forward to keep defending their best player at a corner.
He is just a kid for fucks sake.

Our best forward didn't play today.

of course he did,if you think you are being clever go and play with somebody else.

Sorry who's being clever?

Not you.

In my opinion Weimann works harder, is more consistent and shows more of a winning mentality than Benteke. Rather than blowing hot or cold he always contributes and works damn hard.

That said when Benteke is on it he's virtually unplayable, I just don't think we see it often enough.

I apologise if that conflicts with your opinion.

And I'm laughing.

That makes a change

[saunders_heroes]

The main positives are that we managed to get performances out of Gabby and N'Zogbia and we're out of the bottom 3. We now have to build on that.

[Boz]

Gabby had a decent game, but he missed chances that would have ensured us winning yet I don't see much criticism compared to some of the other players.

Agreed Holman isn't up to Premiership standard and Bannan has ability but isn't consistent. Today Delph was better but has had much abuse recently as has N'Zogbia.

It may be that Lambert is not playing some players in their best position and the coaching staff need to improve their performance as we lost out today because Clarke fired his team up and changed their game to counter our first half superiority and we hadn't a clue how to counter Albion's change of tactics.

That is down to Lambert.

His best game for us today.

[Witton Warrior]

If the scoring sequence had been the other way around we would be whooping for joy.
This was never going to be anything other than a very difficult match - Olbiun had 6 changes to their side today.

Just shows what a couple of decent players will do for us.

I shall enjoy questionning the Boggies of my aquaintance about their levels of discomforture at being ripped apart by "shit" Villa in the first half.

What happened during the 8th minute btw?

[john2710]

. The defence is ok too truth be told.

Disagree, defending is still appalling at corners and crosses and always look capable of dropping a goal costing clanger.

We defend ear corners as a team, our problem is the 2nd ball, as we never get to get to it. Our whole defence tries to react a split second too late.

Funnily I remember when we first signed him and one of the (genk?) fans said he was unplayable on his day but very inconsistent

Not good enough for Villa. The squad is already rife with average players we don't need anymore.
