SHA 1 Aston Villa 1 Post match thread.

[SoccerHQ]

Fair-ish result.

We did today what we did at Reading but never really looked like we'd get a second which was needed.

We are slowly improving but still issues particularly with surprise surprise the midfield.

Beat Blackburn and 11 points in last 3 weeks is much better and the standard required to get out of this division.

[Monty]

We did the thing that we do again.

[Chris Jameson]

Thought we were going to lose that, defence and Jedinak were excellent, no idea what McCormack brings apart from giving the ball away on numerous occasions.

[SoccerHQ]

We did the thing that we do again.

Difference is at least we've won a couple of games beforehand.

I think it's a decent point, more so if we beat Blackburn.

We'll finish above SHA, no worries about that.

That Hutton mistake led to them getting a head of steam going.Very disappointed in our second half display.We look weaker and less fit than most teams

[rob_bridge]

On to the next one. Their cup final is over.

[Matt Collins]

Decent result and good to see some cojones in that back triangle

Got pretty lucky though. They definitely had the best chances and missed a couple of sitters

Agree midfield was a problem. Jedinak was excellent. I thought Westwood was better than Gardner to be honest. At least he looked to pass the ball to our players

Is Gardner a bit thick? He sounds it

[PeterWithesShin]

Crap game, we were poor. A point about fair.

On the plus side, i'd have take 8 points from the first 4 Bruce games.

[l_mckay]

Bit disappointed with the way we tried to hold out instead of taking the game to them a bit more. Thought Jedinak had his best game for us by far. Take the point away from home.

[passitsideways]

That was shit, but whatever.

Jedinak and Amavi did well, Gardner with a well-taken goal which he unfortunately followed up by poor defending for their equaliser. Everyone else basically clung in there, but a point in the away derby is fine in the grand scheme of things.

Hope Adomah's injury is not too serious, otherwise we'll be very short of options next week.

[KevinGage]

Didn't look like we wanted to win it.

Looked uncomfortable before we went 1-0 up, didn't improve when we got the goal.

Despite the Westwood handicap in midfield our players are better than their collection of odds and and sods.

Yet it looked like we didn't fancy it today.

[CJ]

Happy with a point in the end. We were pretty poor, didn't really get our passing game together at all, and they missed a few sitters. And Mr Bruce remains undefeated. Get Bacuna and Tish in for Hutton and Westwood and we'll look much better. And my dog's come out of hiding now I've calmed down

[Jimbo]

Sit back and you pay. Play Westwood and you pay. We paid.

Surprisingly, the introduction of Gabby put some life into us, and probably helped us get the draw.

But we're a very ordinary outfit indeed, and often completely shit.

[Matt Collins]

In defence of McCormack, he's definitely not a right winger

I obviously do want us to go up this year. But this squad would reallly struggle if we do

[olaftab]

Rights it's over where is the nearest fight? Let's head there!
