Aston Villa v Notts County - Match Thread

[Stu]

I think Sherwood's totally underestimated County and is paying the price. I imagine Lambert is laughing his boll*cks off

Of course, Lamberts record in cup games against lower league opposition was stellar.

[Phil from the upper holte]

No-one fears us at Villa Park

So we're still shit but a different kind of shit.

[German James]

The problem is, these shit, lower league sides jusr dont fear us. They really fancy their chances and rwlish a trip to beat us at Villa Park. They raise their game, we underestimate them and the result is inevitable.

I reckon that's spot on.

When do we decide that the team has had enough time and they aren't still trying to gel? Its ok signing all these promising players but if we cant do the basics then whats the point?

Precisely

[myf]

Deja vu. Sick of it. We are soft as shit

No-one fears us at Villa Park

Hardly surprising, really

The only people who have feared us at home in the last five years are us fans, scared of the endless servings up of lukewarm vomit.

Anyone think the fact that our pitch is one of the largest is a factor? Teams used to playing on smaller pitches take advantage of the extra space better than we do?

Add Mcleish and O'Neill to that list as well

[Dante Lavelli]

It will take a while for the team to gel but I don't know if there are really any excuses for shipping three to a fourth division side, at home.

That starting line up was worryingly nuts

Even if that team did gel it would have no bearing on future matches as there no way he'd, anyone!, would replicate that formation.

That's the same situation that any big club would be in though. We seem to do it more than most though.

Still 30 minutes left, time to stuff Notts!

Can't really argue with any of that

[Ian.]

I'm not even sure it is a formation?

[Toronto Villa]

This is the nightmare that never wants to end. Can we not get a fucking 3rd goal and just crawl hands and knees into ET? Is that too much to ask?
