Aston Villa vs Fulham Post Match Thread

[Brian Taylor]

Just when I tell myself it can't get any worse they go and surprise me. Again.

Ditto!!  Only seem to play well against 'good' teams!

So it wasn't a bad dream then. We did lose to Fulham... and he's still with us. Happy Sunday folks.

Dreading the Southampton and hull home games. Both could be very heavy defeats particularly Southampton who will run rings around us.

A shit day followed by an evening of the shits. Wonderful.

I thought Holt was superb didn't win everything but always putting him self about. Shame he couldn't finish the big chance to make it 2-2.
Weiman continues to infuriate should of had a stonewall pen tho, but couldn't even go down convincingly for that!

Westwood would have been the 2nd best player on the pitch if it wasn't for his lazy half clearance.
Baker should be on loan somewhere like Fulham making his mistakes for them and coming back to Villa the finished article. Why couldn't he flick the header square to a free Vlaar instead of pumping it straight back to Fulham for the first. Schoolboy errors all season.

I've noticed Baker seems to head balls away he has time to control and clear and this invites further pressure. He did it a lot yesterday.

Baker is a car crash of a defender. A bloody liability!

He has always done that. He's a throw back from 30 years ago.

I think there is a decent defender in there somewhere but Baker's decision making at times is poor.  He is only 22 so that may get better with experience but, as it stands, he is playing like the fourth choice centre back he is.

I thought Holt played well. Scored a good goal and is as strong as an ox. Pity he couldn't put that second chance away.

It's not just Baker, it is everyone of them with the exception, on occasions, of Vlaar. They have time to either control the ball or play a first time pass to a colleague but instead just take an almighty swipe at the ball which then travels about 20 yards straight to an opponent which immediately puts us back on the defensive. Does my bloody head in.

He did. And to be honest he did enough to keep his place too.

not that I think gabby has been any good but Holt and Gabby up front next with Weimann dropped. Albrighton and Bacuna on the wings . Hopefully Delph back with Westwood .
