Barnsley v Villa predictable post match thread

[myf]

I now refuse to listen to or keep up with away matches but my lad came whooping down the stairs when we scored - I fixed him with a steely glare that sent him scurrying away until he re-appeared at full-time with the expected news of the equaliser and a "sorry Dad" - we had a man-hug and spoke no more about it...

I just don't tell my lad anymore. He probably thinks we're top.

Same here. Every week he watches MOTD and asks why they don't show us. Running out of excuses

Went to first away game for some time - difficult to get tickets normally - still can't work out how we can't win with the players we have. Team selected last night was too weak in certain areas. Why Grealish deserved to start a match I've no idea. Unable to tackle, didn't beat his man, contributed very little. So much for hoping he has learnt his lesson after being suspended for one game.

Agree with several others that Bacuna was probably MoM. Kodjia much better when playing wide, but Adomah did quite well. Ayew did not get much support so had to do what he could on his own, at least he scored, nobody else in the team seemed to know where the goal was.

How a manager can change a successful formation that we ended the Newcastle match with. To a formation which lacked strength and cohesion, beggars belief.

As per Daves press post on Sunday night, 5000 there last night awkward on a Tuesday night £30 a pop and major delay getting out of the car park followed by exit closures onto the M42.  Surely the fans deserve more than theyre getting!

It was 3,737. Still impressive mind.

[kippaxvilla2]

Blimey, it looked more than that, the stand is huge.  Still as you say impressive.

Figure announced by Barnsley on the night. £32.50 on a Tuesday night is very impressive.

yep. grealish is a fluffy nothing player,  Definition of a fanny merchant - flatters to decieve. looks good when things are going well disappears the rest of the time. Could probably make a living as an impact sub for a mid-table premiership side, but pointless in the Championship when you need a player who doesn't hide after the first tackle goes in

I know and understand what you say but he did the biz at WEmbley , give him just a little more time.
