Aston Villa vs Queen's Park Rangers - post match thread

[Villa Lew]

You could say the same for QPR and Austin, Burnley and Ings, Sunderland and Defoe.

I agree, but we should have more goal threat from players like Gabby, Delph, N'Zog, Westwood, Grealish, Also Vlaar and Clark from corners/free kicks.

Just done a quick points analysis with the remaining fixtures:

Sunderland: 1 point each v Crystal palace, Stoke & Southampton with win vLeicester -Total 35
Us: Spurs/Everton/Burnley - 1 point each =3 + Win v West Ham - Total = 35 points
Burnley: Wins v Leicester+ Stoke + draws v West ham & Us - Total = 34 points
Hull City: Win v Burnley + draw v Manure - Total = 32 points
QPR: Win v Newcastle + draws v West Ham + Leicester - Total = 31 points
Leicester: Win v Newcastle + draws v Bitters+Swansea + Southampton+ QPR - Total = 29 points

Would just love for the above to be correct!!

One thing I noticed about Benteke's play last night was the number of back heels he used. Obviously someone had lent him several dvd's featuring the scorer of the greatest goal in the history of world football. Peter Withe would of been proud of him!

If we get a point at Spurs I'll eat the hat of anyone's choice.

They've won 3 of their last 10 in all comps, it's hardly mission impossible. And they conceded 6 in those wins over Swansea, QPR and Leicester.

I'm clinging to the hope that TS knows a lot more about their strengths and weaknesses than Pochettino does about ours

Yes, I know that I've put in a few interesting results for us and the other strugglers but, it can be looked at another way - just 2 wins I think would do it for us. ( However, we just don't seem to be able to hold onto a winning position, at the moment, hence I've gone for the draws ). Every other bugger has had at least 1 result they could have only dreamed of so, maybe it's our time!!

Who cares?  If we get a point bring one out with some HP sauce and I'll have a bash at the bugger

This gave me a proper belly laugh, classic.

Can anyone tell me what our strengths are?

Guzan doesn't look the commanding figure of the last 2 seasons at the moment. Personally, I'd be more confident with Shay during the run in

Guzan may have failed to come for one cross last night but Given has a career long reputation of not dealing with them well.

However, Brad can't kick for toffee. As much as I dislike the tactic, its no wonder that Lambert and now Sherwood have encouraged the split centre halves tactic to give him a short kick or easy roll out.

the problem is that this means that the midfielders have to drop back a bit as well

Very true.  I would say his kicking at the moment is as bad as Mark Bosnich at his very worst.

I think we have a couple of things going for us at Whyfart Lane.   Tim Sherwood will be busting a gut to get a result and the fact that I am sure CB has not forgotten the way they got him sent off and that little twonk Mason's hand in his face.   The mood he is in, I would not like to bet against the Big Guy.
