Aston Villa vs. Leicester City Post-Match Thread

[Toronto Villa]

while good overall, the defending by both centre backs for their goal was terrible. Okore for letting Vardy to beat him and Lescott for being fast asleep as Okazaki to get behind him.

TalkSport evidently seen a different performance to us.  No fight, no desire, can't believe supporters are still bothering....

If anyone would have said after the Wycombe game we'd get four points from games with palace and Leicester you'd have snapped their hands off.  As it is it doesn't look like enough.

Let's not give up so soon. We're mid January not mid April.

The difference a mobile striker would make to this team is immense.

We really weren't that bad today - Leicester have just gone top of the league, let's not forget - but the major differences were their speed and movement up front and their confidence.

Buy a striker of the right type and we might have a slim chance.

If they don't do that, or at least pull out all the stops and try, then they've given up.

I think the most pleasing thing is that Remi has apparently unified the team and he's got us fighting. I think we have a real future under him.

And they really shouldn't give up. The league is not that strong. We've got a team top who are up their with momentum and work rate with a touch of class in a couple of positions and well organised. Nothing special. We've matched them today and we're pants. I really think a strong showing in this window, if we can convince a few, and there is a chance.

That was a spirited performance from Villa, especially second half. Garde is the man for the job, in my opinion. But it will take a miracle to keep us up. I just hope the manager gets chance to bring us back up next year. Performances like today and Tuesday would see us romping the Championship. I know it's not going to be that easy in reality. But we've been stinking the Premier League out for a while now and need a re-boot.

Just heard them sum up the match. I know we are crap, but we did show some fight in the 2nd half. What Alvin Martin knows about football you could write on Action mans deck of cards.

Bunn looks like a really decent keeper.

...that ridiculous charge out of his area after 15 minutes notwithstanding presumably?

To be honest with that I was surprised Bacuna let the ball past him so easily just before. Well okay it's not that surprising but I won't have too much of a Bacuna moan, he was quite good on the whole today.

Decent point with how the first half went,should have had a penalty though second half Robert huth is a twat. Need to win Tuesday just to keep this momentum going. Desperately need a goal scorer from somewhere.

You've not read the script.

We're going to be relegated from the Championship, and probably again the year after.

Grealish should at least be an option to come off the bench - where was he tonight?

Watching it in the pub.

It didn't look that way a couple of weeks ago. The Wycombe game seems to have really kickstarted something and we've shown some unity. I hope it continues because I'd fancy Remi to craft a reasonable side that could get us out the Championship in the manner he wants to play.

I just received a copy of the script Dave, and it has us relegated through to the Ryman Isthmian League after this season we are so bad.

When I said romp the Championship I meant the conference, obviously. Stupid alto- connect.
