SHA 1 Aston Villa 1 Post match thread.

[DeKuip]

If the Small Heath apes loved their own club half as much as they hate their superior neighbours, they might have a club to be proud of. Instead they are consumed with bitterness and jealousy, and it will forever gnaw away at their rotten, god forsaken souls.

Nothing summed up what they're all about more than their player running the length of the pitch to celebrate in front of our fans after scoring. Where else would you see that?

When Gardner scored (and what a beauty) I got a sack of stick, as I'd moaned like a bastard about him and Westwood starting - but took my medicine with glee!
At 60 mins though, as we dropped deeper and deeper, lost the midfield and invited them onto us, I was horrified that he didn't change it. At that point I thought an equaliser was inevitable without a change, and that with that we would be hanging on. I was shitting it as Jedi dropped to what appeared as an auxiliary CH - but he was superb. I'm not one who delights in Westwoods short comings, but...urgh. I thought it had 2-1 written all over it. We were lucky. Kodjia looked out of it at that point, and I think I'd have switched Tish for Westwood, and Gabby for Kodjia at that point. Still, 1-1 when in the last few years we would so have lost that.
I think this game came at the wrong time for us. We needed the three points in the bigger picture, but ended up with one that we'd have taken even in better circumstances.
I reckon, given the progress made we might even tank the clowns at our place down the road, but for now, Mr Bruce is unbeaten.
Tonight I sleep well.
UTV!

Disappointed we couldn't beat what I would call a classy pub team but we didn't lose to them which would have been a nightmare.    Bit like Wimbledon drawing at Leeds in the cup.

Under RDM we would played a more attractive game and lost that's for sure. 

I am still concerned that we don't have what I would call a goal scorer at this level.  McCormack can't see the point of him right at the moment.  As for Fat arse, apart from his very first touch looked more like a SHA player just trying to provoke and kick people. 

Another season at this level is starting to look on the cards.

I really don't want another season in the championship and I definitely don't want this fixture again next season. Please get up Villa.

Glad that's out the way. Let's continue to build on our decent start under Bruce now.

Summed up perfectly

Watching it on the box I can say 'the Jed' was immense. I called Gabby's inclusion last week to my mate on the basis that if he came on for the last 15 and scored the slate would have been wiped clean and his latest escapades forgiven, he looked hungry in my opinion, good managership from Bruce if you ask me.  I can't enjoy those matches but I'd take the point, Blackburn on sat and then back to Australia.  VTID

It's getting up to 29c in Perth this week.
Awful eh? Say hello to Atwell when you get back.....

Today's fix.  There couldn't possibly be a winner for fear of the trouble it would cause?  Doesn't exist right?

The boy is learning. How's the Sheaf? Re-creating the atmosphere of the San Siro?

lol I haven't been there since our infamous throat throttling episode!

At least you weren't a founder member of the bomb squad. Did you see the size of them compared to us? Jedinak had his best game.

[Dave P]

Today is a good result IF we beat Blackburn next week. That would represent a good solid start from Bruce and, dare I say it, promotion form.

[QuintonVilla]

I've already stated our vocal support was poor, but their latest myth over on their SHA forum is that we didn't sell out our 2000 allocation. This despite the said 2000 allocation selling out after one day of being on sale. We take 5700 to Preston you cockwombles. They're all massive weapons on that forum, but the biggest one without a doubt has the username 'Gary Rowett'. The nonsense he comes out with is laughable, but of course they all lap it up.

They're going on about coaches again aswell, surprise surprise. All of us apparantly went by coach, which explains why we were all kept in the ground and then marched for miles in an escort. If we had all gone by coach then surely the police would have just put us back on to our coaches? It's a real head scratcher.

If you are trying to reconcile Blues fans with rational thought I think you might be wasting your time.

Well whatever we think of them they are miles better than Brummie reds whether Manu or Liverpool. It's those f*cker we should reserve our venom for IMO.

[LukeJames]

Of course we sold our allocation, thats not even a genuine debate, for some reason that little section behind the goal was empty when Wolves went there too.
