SHA 1 Aston Villa 1 Post match thread.

[FranzBiberkopf]

I'm of the opinion that Bruce needs to find a pair of full-backs who are a damned sight better than those he's inherited,

Agree with this. Swap them both out forthwith.

Do that, plus add a 'box-to-box' midfielder in January and we'll be alright this season (alright as in making the play-offs).

Don't, and we'll be midtable and no better.

[Malandro]

Out of sheer curiosity and because I'll never bother watching one of their games, can someone tell me if any SHA players would be useful in our starting team?

Their Dutch player looked good.

Also, stick this Solihull rubbish. He may have been born there as there is no hospital round by us, but he's definitely Yardley Massive.

Gets about a bit then, I always thought he was Kings Norton?

[Clampy]

A fair result overall, even if we did ride our luck a bit and no, it wasn't the greatest performance in the world. Like a few have already said though, we would have lost that a few weeks ago.

I'm glad one or two have mentioned Ayew's booking, it was ridiculous. Their player injured himself going for the ball if anything.

You ain't wrong chook! His yellow card was a complete WTF?! moment. That said, I thought he was crap yesterday and didn't look like he fancied it at all. He wasn't alone, mind.

They're all Yardley boys. The other brother sells flowers across the road from LloydsTSB at the Yew Tree.

[Lambert and Payne]

I thought Amavi played well aside from picking up that booking. Rowett having a pop at Kodjia despite the fact their players decided to kick absolute lumps out of him and Ayew is a bit silly.

Cracking atmosphere from both, incredible scenes in that away end when we scored! Poor performance and did that thing again where we sit back and invite pressure. We looked comfortable until Hutton passed the ball off the blues player and then sauntered back, that gave them the momentum they needed.

Take a point, disappointed we let it slip, and the lock in/escort was shit.

Did we then get the free kick as well ??

[cdbearsfan]

We got the free kick. I assumed the booking must have been for dissent but not entirely sure.

[AVH87]

Was a poor game, will take the point in the end as it keeps Brucie unbeaten and they've only lost 1 at home this season.

We really need to improve though, all our midfield did was hoof it all game. Jedinak MOTM though broke up play well and was solid throughout.

Our usually vocal away support seemed quite muted yesterday, not sure how much impact the reduced allocation had on that.

You're right, we did! 

[St AustellAVFC]

Was it me or does Mike Dean look like Jasper Carrot.?

Haha, yes. Me and the mrs both said it yesterday.

[Clampy]

Oh and that Che Adams for them was absolutely awful.

If you're referring to the (customary) Mutton clanger when the SH forward broke away & was thwarted by a combination of Gollini & a couple of Villa defenders, he (Hutton) didn't dawdle back - because he launched himself into a challenge that caused the forward to take a hurried shot. Even so, he's still absolutely toilet.

I think the bigger reason the guy fluffed that was that his left foot is for standing on and had to come inside which gave Hutton and Amavi time to get across and close down the space.  I do agree that Hutton didn't dawdle back, putting the effort in to make a last dtich block after he's fucked up in our half is one thing Hutton is very good at because he's well practiced at it.
