Aston Villa v Derby County - Match Thread

[Risso]

Ever the pioneers, we've invented a new sport. It's called Grimball.

I think we're playing quite well this half, some neat passing in midfield.  Green looks confident.

Green's a bit raw but having someone running at the opposition is creating a bit of space for us at times.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Bruce once again has little idea how to adapt once the opposition switch things around. We're gifting them space by dropping deeper again.

[AlexAlexCropley]

Possession is 9 tenths of the law and we've had 34% so that means.......er......

[Sexual Ealing]

Why, oh why must we play like we believe that we're the plucky underdogs against every team we meet?

Because we are?

[A|C]

I'm not sure Green playing is the right thing considering where we are, he seems to have a lot of potential but no end product.

Harsh.Been our best offensive player

[old man villa fan]

I don't know how accurate the in game stats are but 59% pass accuracy is a telling statistic.

Yep

We may be the underdog on form but we have fuck all pluck.

[steamer]

I understand Bruce does not want to lose this one and caution is the word, but for fucks sake why can we not score two ?

We forked out nigh on 50m in the last 2 years on players who have no end product so may as well give him a go

[django]

The tactic is the usual, withdraw all attacking outlets, sit narrow in our own box and prepare to concede.

[Jimbo]

We're now shitting ourselves.
