Aston Villa vs West Brom Match Thread

That's true, we need a second and third.

[Boz]

Should be at least two up, I fear we might pay the price in the second half.

[Monty]

That was better. We look frantic, thrashy and all over the place, but we have enough numbers in the middle of the pitch to make it thrash our way. Cleverley's playing well.

In answer to above: Zog has had some moments, but I think his movement has been pretty slouchy and his touches are coming off about once every ten attempts.

[supertom]

Well, have to say that's a very pleasing first half of football. We were in control. We pressed well. Certainly players who have frankly let us down too often in the past couple of seasons have turned up today. Lowton has played well, Cleverley has played well and Zogbia has played well. Gabby has looked dangerous today and has got the beating of Lescott.

So far so good. Hopefully we maintain this because we could really have done with a second. We could have been 3-4 up already. I don't want missed chances to haunt us.

And yes. Stonewall penalty.

[hilts_coolerking]

Not to be negative, but we should be 2 or 3 up.   This could bite us in the second half.

True enough but they've done fuck all up front.

[adrenachrome]

We should be 4 up. The worry must be that we cannot keep this pace going. At least we did not concede just before the break again.

[Matt Collins]

Sounds like the best performance in a long time?

We rarely play well for 90 minutes tho and not getting that second could be a real blow

[JUAN PABLO]

Everyone's done pretty good but  okore has worried me. If they were actually good we might come unstuck but credit to them , they are up for it.

[paul_e]

well, that's the best half of football I can remember this season.

First half vs Hull at the start of the season, was 2-0, could've been about 6, but this would be 2nd for me.

[Risso]

Let's hope Sherwood doesn't have the Lambert effect at half time.

[Toronto Villa]

We've nearly matched our shots total for the season in one half. Things to improve and need to keep things steady at the back. But a lot more encouraging than in recent weeks.

[LTA]

Hope we don't regret not finishing these off.  Albion have been Poor and I cant believe they'll be as bad in the second half.

[N'Zimidy]

What a half of football.

Keep playing like this and we'll soon be out of the shit.

[CT]

Not to be negative, but we should be 2 or 3 up.   This could bite us in the second half.

My worry too. I don't care how we do this, just fucking win

[Boz]

Who will fire his team up at half time most Timmy or Taffy?
