The not quite so mighty-anymore Aston Villa vs Swansea Post Match Thread

[Dave]

Well, the run was going to end sometime. We'll just have to beat Man Utd instead.

[Deano's Mullet]

Fucking hell I'm depressed. Two home defeats out of three for Sherwood in the league. Perfect chance to pull away today and we blew it. Thanks a lot Villa.

If you're not going to win a home game don't lose it.  Absolutely criminal to lose two now so close to the end of a game.  This is going all the way I fear.

[Toronto Villa]

Well that was rather disappointing and puts us right in the shit again. We looked flat for so much of the game and gave Swansea way too much time. I really thought we would get into them but they really are very good at controlling the pace of the game and keeping the ball. Fuck me as the kids would say...

[N'Zimidy]

We looked pretty good. Created a shed load of chances, just a shame we couldn't finish one.

Not too disheartened, just feel a bit shit.

[Bad English]

The "run" :-D

We will probably do ManYoo anyway.

Off to get fucked up in the village bar. Bollocks to this! ;-)

[Jimbo]

Proper kick in the cock pipe, like only Aston Villa know how to do.

Come on West Ham!

[passitsideways]

Reality check. Still, as a lot of people have said, that's just how it is when you come up against a team who are reaping the rewards of a well-executed long-term strategy.

I don't blame Sherwood for going 4-4-2 given the recent run but the advantage they had in midfield as a result was very, very glaring.

[oldham_villa]

Swansea played well. Thought Delph and Clark were excellent.

Our game suffered when Sanchez came on.

Sinclair needs to take the half chances that come his way.

Hutton was better than Lowton would have been, but less effective than on the right.

I hate these games, where we should win, make hard work of grinding out a draw, only to lose to really simple attacks. If we're second best i can shrug it off. If we're equals, I find it much harder to take. Especially as most results have gone our way. Again.

[Dave]

The "run" :-D

Hey, I consider one victory to be a run. Three in a row is like Arsenal in 2004 territory as far as I'm concerned.

[Tuscans]

Not a disaster and the hardest test in Sherwoods very short reign.

I think 0-0 would of been fair but just that tiny bit of quality and luck wasn't with us today.

One thing for certain though is I'm not as depressed as I was losing under Lambert.

[myf]

Great chance to pull away today. Oh dear. Would have been a good point today

[rob_bridge]

We go again. 8 cup finals.

We're not right in the shit again. It hasn't changed from last week. All we need is for Sunderland and Hull to lose.
