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.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 ditch block after he's fucked up in our half is one thing Hutton is very good at because he's well practiced at it.

Who was that ruddy-faced little shit that played RB for them? Honestly, if ever there was a Small Heap player that needed a right-good slap during the derby...

I think you mean their defensive midfielder Gleeson who some how never got booked despite going off his feet 2-3 times 1 of them was very similar to the challenge that Amavi was booked for and the ref didn't even talk to him.

Dirty, gobby wee shite that Flabby was winding up after he made an unexpected appearance. Yeeeesh.
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.

Fucking morons. All those police, time and effort because there was a couple hundred Noses in a pub.Don't be ungrateful. It's all done for your safety and comfort, them being experts in crowd control. And if anything did go wrong, you can rest assured they'll be open and honest.Just ask the families of the Hillsborough victims.

I haven't seen it mentioned but Jed was the only player not to run over to the players celebrating our goal.Why? He was stopping Small Heath restarting the game which they would have been perfectly entitled to do as all our players would have been in our half.....Fair play to him.
I hate to think what this thread would be like if we'd actually lost.
Reports of trouble and a stabbing at The Yenton pub in Erdington. Some saying Blues stormed the pub and attacked innocent bystanders including women, which wouldn't be a surprise as that's their style. Others saying it was Villa on Villa.
