Aston Villa v Birmingham City - Match Thread

[montague]

two very evenly matched teams here, except they look more comfortable with a football

[AGRIPPA]

Totally inept

How depressing is that statement.

[ozzjim]

We are utterly dire.

[silhillvilla]

We look abysmal

[brontebilly]

nice football from the blues, we need a tactical change already

playing a centre half in midfield at home to a championship team aint really working to put it mildly

[SamTheMouse]

We're hoofing it a lot. You wouldn't think we were the Premier League side.

This is more like a friendly than a villa blues game.

[Monty]

Gabby is looking terrible. Absolutely useless. We do keep punting balls up to him, which is stupid, but when he gets the ball he does precisely nothing with it.

[Risso]

Worryingly we look on a similar level to them, and it's not because they're Premier League quality.

I've never seen a game with so many headers.  It's like Wimbledon v Watford, circa 1987.

It doesn't help having Clark in midfield, he doesn't know what to do there.  It also doesn't help having your "local derby Talisman" running around like madman trying to get sent off.  I also don't think hoofball is the way to go - they'll be used to that week in, week out.

[SamTheMouse]

We do seem to have quite a lot of footballers who don't look like very good footballers.

[dicedlam]

What a crock of shit this is.

[ez]

At least we have a couple of subs that could do something.
