Bristol City v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Ron Manager]

Just seen the goals - not really any GK errors.

Yeah there weren't any real howlers but again and again, how easy is it to cut through midfield.

Just wrote that as Gollini was assumed to be at fault for one or two.

the first one he has to hold, the second one he is way too far off his line.
His habit of pushing shots away from his body but not far enough is becoming common.

Yes could have done better, but not directly at fault (no where near his 2 previous errors)

Won't be long before people start calling for Brad to return.



Brad Friedel!!

If there is a positive its that there is a two week break till our next game, let's get the last of our transfers done and then get the lads off to the brecon becons with Mickey Goldmill - make them eat lightnin' and crap thunder.

Loving the Brecon biz there BR, but I expect a fair number of our shower will be demanding a Dubai mini-break - in order to indulge in some richly deserved R&R. It's Hell in the championship, dontcha know.

to rub salt into the wounds we're now facing a hefty fine for having seven booked.

I would like to hear from someone at the game if that made any sense? 7 vs 1 booking, and apparantly one of theirs should have been sent off?

I have huge reservations about Gollini, but he's still only young. What's wrong with getting a massive, experienced bastard to ease his transition instead of throwing him into a league he's clearly not ready for?

It is a tough one. If we don't keep playing him he won't learn, but we can't afford to keep playing him if he carries on making mistakes. And as far as I know our goalkeeping coach has never previously worked in English football. Maybe we could get Spinky in a couple of times a week.

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

I know he can be good but I think he is part of the problem. It disrupts the team when he throws tantrums. We should facilitate a move for him somewhere back in France if we can.

Joe Hart's looking for a new club. He'd certainly get plenty of action behind our bloody lot.

I was there. The ref was appalling. It would appear refs in this division are happy for Grealish to be kicked to bits.
From what I've seen the refereeing in the championship is awful.

And if we are lucky we will get a Premier League referee who has been temporarily demoted for being awful in the top flight. They used to be Neil Warnock's 'favourites'.

Give the stroppy sod a 1-way ferry ticket from Dover. That may just get his attention.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

We're out with a City season ticket holder tonight in Bristol. He reckons we showed more in 45 mins than Newcastle did in 90 mins last week.

I know they won and we lost, but thought I'd mention it.

He also thought we were miles better in the first half (not quite sure about miles), but thinks their manager basically said to stop showing us any respect, like they did against Newcastle last week, and come out and play.

Just back from the game. Two things.

We had no leaders. Looked around after the second goal, everyone was heads down, nobody trying to lift anyone else.

Secondly, I hope that c*** Jordan Ayew never plays for us again. I had my fill of sulky fucking players not even trying last season. If he's not prepared to try, or even give the barest minimum effort then fuck him off. Get rid now.

The fact that RDM couldn't see how fucking abysmal he was is a major worry. He clearly thinks he's too good for this League - the cold fact is - he isn't.

[olaftab]

we are the new Accrington Stanley.

Accrington Stanley. WHO ARE THEY?

They are the old Aston Villa.

[Damo70]

Four days to strengthen, fourteen days to regroup for the next game which is the first of two on the bounce at home. That cheers me up a little bit. Although I have still been so pissed off with today's result I haven't even been bothered to check my football bets.

[itbrvilla]

We used to be famous apparently.
