Aston Villa v Wolves Match Thread

[Goldie.7]

Worst half of football so far this season? Behave !!!

If Kodjia passes we go in 2-1.

[LeeB]

Are we to class Richards as a sighting of one of those killer clowns?

[villabear]

Have we signed Jedinaks slower shitter twin brother?

Tshibola isn't exactly throwing his 6'2" frame around either.

[steamer]

dreadful defending leading to their penalty.
We do not seem to have any target in the box.
Seemed to start off energetic , but have fizzeled out.
Give them a bolloking, bruce.

[Stirchley Villain]

Grealish is such a girl. He even runs like one.

[PaulWinch again]

Chester has probably been our best player.

[KevinGage]

This was the worst half of football I have seen at Villa park this season.😟

You didn't see Newcastle at home?  Forest at home first half wasn't too clever either.

We've had a bit of attacking verve at various stages this afternoon. Not just chances out of the blue, but chances coming from sustained pressure.

But then we have Richards or other numpties presenting the ball back to Wolves, and we start getting anxious again. The forwards and midfield don't trust our backline (and who can blame them) so they are conscious of that rather than going for the throat. One misplaced pass even in the opposition half has the possibility of opening us up because the defence is so brittle. So attack minded players go for the safer ball more often that not.

[LeeB]

I reckon they'll wait till an hour to let us fully blow out, then come at us and most likely win.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Positives:

We're showing some fight
Grealish is finding plenty of space on the left
Chester looks like a defender
We should be 2-1 up
Wolves are poor
We have options on the bench

Negatives
Too many to mention all
The defence
The midfield
The crossing
The lack of bodies getting in the box
We're still not any where close to winning 50/50s
Richards

I know Bruce has only had 2 days with them but the players look like they only met for the first time 2 days ago.

That's a good shout. Westwood got pelters for giving the ball away vs forest but based on where it was he should have been able to rely on a functioning defence to bail him out.

[sickbeggar]

usual crap. as soon as we scored we started defending deeper and deeper and inviting them onto us until the inevitable happenned. pffftt.

[Malandro]

The sloppy passes, lack of cohesion and the inevitable mistake leading to a goal - I really could punch the TV.

Goalkeeping mistakes, defender fuck ups - these are supposed to happen a couple of times a season.

Man up you fuckwits.

Smooth girl legs. 

[JUAN PABLO]

its a slight improvement to be fair , If Kod passes its 2-1 and we will all be saying how well we pressed them into making mistakes to get the second goal .

I think Bruce will sort this and we will win.

[Mellin]

Hendrie looking well. Good to see.
