Aston Villa v Wolves Post-Match Thread

[Ron Manager]

NO MIDFIELD!!!! The reason the defence are crap (no protection) and the reason the attack is so poor (no creativity). Sort it and we would be top 6.

Lack of fitness is a disgrace, god knows what RDM and his staff were up to in the Summer...

Everton had a good midfield today.Barry,Gueye and Cleverly.Wish we had a midfield like that.

The thing about how we play that gets on my tits the most? Not being able to take a decent fucking throw-in. Everything else - dribbling, passing, crossing, shooting - can be trained (allegedly, but at Villa that's not apparent), but these people have been playing the game since they were knee-high and they don't seem to be able to perform the simple task of chucking a ball next to a teammate's feet.

Richards actually looked like he was deliberately picking out their players first half.

Agreed. I don't know if previous managers had similar insights and kept it to themselves ("I thought we were excellent"), but it's comforting that at least now we know that he knows.

With hindsight the reason I didn’t play Jordan Ayew and Leandro Bacuna was because they had huge, big delights.

I think we need to work on our web site editing as well as the team.

[olaftab]

There were no afternoon delights today not even small ones.

Thank god he see's it all too, really interested to see what changes he makes for Reading now.

[AGRIPPA]

At least we're unbeaten under Bruce!!

Worst home display this season?  Problem we have is quite clearly the players in our club are not suited to kick and run football - lucky to pinch a point tonight. Is this the football we have to endure for the remainder of the season?

[aj2k77]

Every game we play like a bunch of fucking grand dads as well, it pisses me off, we get the ball, play to a set pattern, so slow, centre back to centre back to midfielder who drops deep out to fullback, back inside. Like a broken record, every single fucking game, so so slow. They're really pissing me off now, the most boring, dull, uncomitted, lethargic lazy bunch of ****** in all the divisions.

Awful perfomance.

Richards has been a footballer for how long ?
Doesn't seem to know how to take a throw in.

Chester was lucky not to get a red card.

Wolves deserved to win.

Please Dr. Xia , can you buy a totally new and functioning mid field in January ?
There is NO point playing Kodjia, McCormack or Ayew if we can't get the ball to them.

I don't think Richards was injured. He just decided to give up the useless ***t

[PeterWithe]

We are a good side which needs direction and strong management.

[olaftab]

At least we're unbeaten under Bruce!!

However he has lost his 100% record.

[Chris Jameson]

Second page of the new manager'' first match and sickbeggar gets in early with a 'we're going to get relegated under Bruce'. Is this a record.

£50 million (or whatever it was) to make a terrible side even worse, impressive.

[VILLA MOLE]

At least we're unbeaten under Bruce!!

However he has lost his 100% record.

no clean sheets either
