SHA 1 Aston Villa 1 Post match thread.

In a derby your midfield needs battlers, not spectators. The amount of times I saw Westwood watching what Birmingham City players were doing, rather than doing his utmost to wrest possession back from them. Then, when there was a break on, he passes backwards. And his 'shot' was typical Westwood. He simply can't kick a football. He's a waste of molecules.

Thank God Jedinak didn't shy away from the action, because we'd have been battered if he'd done a Westwood.

I think that goes for this league in general.  Jedinak looks at home in the sitting position, but what we need in front of him are two players with mobility, energy and a bit of drive.

If we can make the midfield more athletic to cover more ground we would improve I reckon

Great news! We've moved from the ramp to the car park.

Noses have let a flare off in the car park. Silly twats.

Westwood is shite.

Tish and Bacuna in midfield have the athleticism

Exactly, you have to impose yourself on the opposition in games, not be a passive bystander. Westwood has never and will never do that. He's close to being my least favourite Villa player of all time. There have been worse, I know, but he's just a big bag of nothing.

The game just passes by Westwood every single time so I have no idea why he got picked over Tshibola. Saying that I'm pleased with a point so I don't want to single anyone out.
I'm glad this game is over as well.

Scapegoat time, but a deserved one. Westwood, retire please, you are fucking wank, do one, he's worth about £20 a day mowing the pitch, shouldn't be anywhere near it, the ultimate useless fanny of a midfielder that I've ever seen. Crap at football, not good at a single thing.

Scrapped through that one, please potato head learn from it. Whatever midfield you pick, keep that guy out of it.

I thought we were very poor today and McCormack is wasted playing wider, not the position for him at all. It's through the centre of not at all. Gabby getting a run out, well, what to say, he's a ****** who should never play for us again. He's burnt his bridges and can fuck off the fat piss taking lazy twat.

A good point because we were so poor, on to next week, we have to up the tempo in midfield, hopefully Bacuna is back (who thought we'd ever say that again?). 6 pts from the play offs, onwards and upwards.

The rags, the usual collection of sly, rag tag, niggling ****** to match their fans who crawled out of the woodwork for their world cup every 4 years. We're crap and you still can't beat us.

Still locked in. Fucking bored senseless.

McCormack looks like a very expensive mistake to me.

He's got to play off the striker or not at all.

Bruce got it right on somethings and wrong on others. Playing McCormack wide in midfield did not work. Playing Jedinak right in front of back 4 was good. That left us with Westwood as a midfield force and that's where it all goes wrong. I am convinced with Bacuna in midfield we would have crushed them today however 4 unbeaten for a team that has been broken for many years is not bad.

He's no right winger that's for sure

They're probably devising a cunning plan to include the 2k Villa fans into their next official match day attendance. It's the only way they'll get near a sell out.

[saunders_heroes]

We've got too many strikers and not enough midfielders.

Plod love a good kettle.
