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

Holte looked pretty full, I'd have thought nearer 35k ?

Plenty of seats in the upper WL but the rest of the ground seemed full.

Atmosphere never got going today

Bad result, we were too open and need to learn from that. But fortunately every other game went our way. Hopefully QPR will lose tomorrow and essentially it's as you were with one less game to play. Hopefully Sherwood will learn from the game and get our balance better moving forward.

Aaaaaaaargh.

What was the crowd today?

What was the crowd today?  The official site says 00 but I'm sure it was more than that.

I'm pretty sure it was 35,867, which by sheer coincidence was my prediction on the GTC thread

Very typical Villa today. Put a string of good results together, causing a great turnout at Villa Park to see us take on a comfortable mid-table team that everyone forgets about and they turn us over.

Frustrating in the end. Swansea are a funny side as you never know quite what you will get. We were second best first half, but managed to weather the two or three chances they had to et ourselves more on top in the second where we wasted our own. Gabby should have scored and Sinclair went close, before we're hit on the counter.

The results went for us but it's a shame we haven't extended that gap.

I felt they were quite lightweight but were offered far too much protection by the referee.

The annoying thing is whilst we weren't great we carved out a couple of clear chances that should have been buried.

We improved in the second half and a point would have been ok given the first half. Agree Delph and Clark played very well. Okore looked cumbersome at times, Sanchez seems to  have an accident waiting to happen up his sleeve and Guzan has started to look shaky.
It was obvious from watching Montero before that he would be a threat running down the wing,  so it was disappointing we made no changes to address this and it proved costly.

Been looking, but it's not been released yet.
GTCers, stand by!

Needs a big hole putting in that bloody drum!

This is turning into Parma Mk II

It was all a bit after the Lord mayor's show.
Thank god the other results went our way.
