Brighton vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[SoccerHQ]

Hutton, Amavi, Agbonlahor - none of them up to it

You really want Cissokho playing again? He was giving away a penalty a game before he was taken out of the team.

Agree on the other two.

6 hours to get to the match from Birmingham. Hey ho.

Villa deserved to win.

2 1/4 hours to get back home.

Favourite chant.

We can see you,
We can see you,
Holding hands,
Holding hands.

The away Villa fans are fantastic. I salute all of you.

There may be other clubs that have better away support than the Villa.

But not many.

I still think we need to get used to this division, because we'll still be it in next year.

I don't think we will.


Very shortly, The rear view mirror of the top 6 will look like this

Not too far off the play-offs.

Did you just celebrate a homophobic chant?
Did we really sing that???
I'll let others say what I'm thinking.

I thought second half, Amavi was superb. Sorted out his positioning, too.

Hutton is dreadful. His final ball isn't even a ball. Pathetic player.

I don't understand the Amavi criticism either.

[ROBBO]

I can, in the first half he was caught out of position on more than one occasion I think at half time someone had a word in his ear because he was a different player second half. I differ with those that say Westwood had a good game, for me he is ineffectual although his pointing is first class he will be replaced come January I hope.

[Scratchins]

A man at the front had an unpleasant chant suggesting where an item that could be purchased at Ann Summers could be placed. In fairness he did stop when someone politely remonstrated with him. Homophobia hasn't gone away.

What the hell has Tishibola done wrong?

Its difficult to criticize Bruce but this frustrates me.  I really think we could be so much stronger in midfield with this guy playing.

I thought Amavi was close to being our motm.

I agree. Can't believe he wasn't even sub (assuming he was available?).

That sounded quite an isolated incident, and respect to the fact that that it got challenged.
I think my concern is what seemed by all accounts such a positive night for the club could be tainted by the fact that yes homophobia hadn't just not gone away, but was expressed, by Villa fans. I think I have an unrealistic idea that, well as we say it on here sometimes 'we are better than that'.

I'll copy this whole post to the seperate homophobia thread to leave this one to be about the football, but just to explain I felt sad/concerned that maybe that'd it had been more prevalent?

And then found it bizarre to read someone writing about enjoying it. I guess that's the bit that shocked me.

Replies to that other thread maybe?
