Aston Villa vs Bournemouth Post-Match Thread

[brontebilly]

Great goals anyway plus any win even over Bournemouth's reserves is a big plus.

Very disappointed with not keeping a clean sheet. They pretty much walked the ball in at the end, zero communication between our players there

straight forward enough in the end. Quality from Gil. Poor from Benteke. according to Leeg it got a bit interesting on Witton Lane.

Have to say, Clark was great today too.

First half utter rubbish, they were by far the more convincing side.

Second half much better.

Look much more confident after we scored. Two excellent goals. In the same match, crikey.

[Percy McCarthy]

Have to say, Clark was great today too.

Good to hear. Get Delph and the real Benteke back and we're in no danger.

[Ron Manager]

Awful first half. Excellent second half. Excellent team goals. Excellent...er... Excellent.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Positives - Delph new deal, Gil's brilliance, lovely second goal.

Negatives - We just about beat a Bournemouth side with 8 changes, they dominated the first half and Benteke was very poor.

It's a major relief to win, but we need to get a lot lot better.

Agreed. Biggest worry is yet again we produced nothing for Benteke. I was really hoping he'd get one today to get his confidence back but he just looked lost out there.

Still, we're through to the next round and right now that's all that matters. great to see a couple of goals at the Holte End too. They really did deserve a couple of classics and those two will be long remembered. Fantastic stuff.

It's our year!  Today was Lambert's Mark Robins Fergie moment, the only way is up from here!!!!

[PaulWinch again]

Cleverley was actually decent today as well when he got forward.

[Brend'Watkins]

Chuffed. No doubt the 5th round draw will bring Bradford City away...

I'd like that. We need to show who's boss once and for all.

Great to see us score a couple. Very dull first half from us but once we scored we were in control. I enjoy watching Okore and Sanchez play, not always perfect but they look like top players to me. We still need a pacy forward and I don't mean Gabby.

[Ducksworthy]

Just seen this on twitter for the first time (most have probably already seen it) but my god, it's made me up for the cup. I know we won't make it in the end - it's the Villa - but I really wish we would.

[silhillvilla]

Just back. Lovely super smashing. Gil and Okore were superb. Hutton very good too.

You can draw a couple.
