Bristol City v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[David_Nab]

Only Villa can change manager ( again) , change owner , change whole defence practically, spending over £15mil , spend £12mil on a striker and still , still be utter fucking gash.

Where do you even begin to start with that?

Dominated the first half can't finish for shit. Turning point in the 2nd half Ayew chose to slice a shot wide when McCormack was screaming at him to pass for an obvious 2nd.  Then it went to shit from there.  Another error from the Goalkeper - goalkeepers will make mistakes at that age which begs the question why take such a gamble with such a vital position?  Bunn is no replacement so looks like we are stuck here.

Then look at the bench.  Absolutely no one to bring on to change a game.  Early days in the season but I have to say this looks very worrying already.  At no time after they equalised did I think we would get back into that game. Equally I knew instantly by missing all the early chances it would come back on us.  Both these events are regular occurrences with Villa these days. 

When the fcuk is this going to end?

Need to win almost 1in 2 to go straight up. So far 1 in 5, and we've spent a fortune by Championship standards.

I could handle the Huddersfield and Sheff Weds result to a small extent as one team was topping the table while the other was one of the favourites for promotion.

Today though is simply fucking unacceptable. It feels as if we've been properly found out today. Teams have started off a little shaky against us but grow as the games wear on, I don't think this division will be afraid of us at all any longer. Come to a stadium like Villa Park, probably twice the size of their very own and it still won't matter either.

Apart from texts from RedSox no idea how we played but seeing a Villa collapse yet again is a tad concerning.

[mr underhill]

you 've got it - we need to win 20 games minimum to go up , we're already 8 points off top and we've won one in 18. My faith is being severely tested.

[DaveD]

The really scarey part about it is we changed the Owner, changed the Manager, changed half the team - and improved nothing.

Well we replaced an owner who knows nothing about running a football club with an owner who knows nothing about running a football club, a succession of managers with one season or less in the PL with another of the same, and have replaced players not good enough for the PL with players who have either never played there or been deemed surplus to requirements at that level.

If you do what you always did, you'll largely get what you always got.

[PeterWithesShin]

And that's 4 wins in our last 45 league games.

I can't see Roberto getting a long honeymoon period.

I hope he enjoyed it.

The worst thing about having the BBC live scores on the laptop whilst listening to Sky Soccer Saturday is you actually get to see us tumbling down the table from the giddy heights of seventh when we were a goal up. I hear whispers our goalkeeper didn't exactly cover himself in glory. Yet again. At least if we needed a reality check we have had one with a few days left of the transfer window.

joking apart i can see his tenure being a short one

[Toronto Villa]

Once again we should have been 4 goals up before they scored once. Absolutely stunning collapse.

[Jimbo]

I think something psychological happens to players when they play for Villa. The big ground, big crowds, top training facilities, big money. The history and pedigree. They think the club has an automatic right to win games. It doesn't.

It has to dig deep to get results, and it isn't digging deep enough yet. Quite when the penny will drop, that we need to fight twice as hard as any team in the league to succeed, I don't know. But it must, soon, or we'll only get out of this division via the trap door.

[Risso]

I really, really dislike Ayew. Sulky little sod who isn't nearly as good as he thinks he is.

[Goldie.7]

RDM won't last long with this type of form. I'm not interested in our missed chances, they also could of banged in few more.

1 win in 5 is not good enough or even average.
