Aston Villa v Derby County - Match Thread

[Ian.]

Get in Villa!!


It wasn't pretty but we dug in and actually worked hard and battled well.
Also that twat linesman should have given that to us, I just thought Bacuna cared, that's all.
I'd rather see that trait in our players.

Bacon straight red. Ridiculous decision from the ref initially, and then Bacuna in his response.

He made a pig's ears of it.

Have we won yet?

What a swine

[oldtimernow]

Must go down as the quietest thread for a long time .......I wonder why?

[KevinGage]

Bacuna was only saying what a fair few of us would be thinking.

You'd like to thing the officials would take the importance of the game and the situation (holding on for dear life in the last few minutes) into consideration.

But common sense with the stream of muppets we get officiating games at VP is too much to hope for.

[Marton]

Bacuna ran his socks off all game before that red...happy to see him actually picked for a position he likes rather then as bandaid for some other position we missing.

Too bad he gets suspended now.

Bacuna was a cock and could have cost us

[postal]

So that's what 3 points look like

Don't care if it is pretty, but yep, the possession is embarrassing, and dangerous, esp with only 1 goal to hold on to.

[Billy Walker]

We have to be able to win ugly in this league.  Well done boys.
