Rotherham 0-2 Aston Villa Post Match Thread

[Rudy65]

Tuesday night will be interesting, Huddersfield were well beaten today and may be starting to feel a little pressure.

I caught the last 25 minutes of the Huddersfield match and from what I saw, the score line flattered Newcastle.  Huddersfield were playing with a high tempo and always looking to go forward.  I think we will struggle to contain them.  We need to take our chances.  Huddersfield do look a bit short up front for all of their good approach play.

I watched the whole games. Lots of possession for Hudders but they rarely troubled the Geordies goal. Kiss of death but I think they are beatable

Very much League 1 standard at times but the quality that did come came from us. Very short in quality in a lot of areas which is a worry but we we're not conceding and have scored 5 in 3. To look like a side who is going to dominate and look like they can go up 18 shots on goal has got to also show something like 10 or 11 shots on goal. Huddersfield is indeed a good barometer, although injuries and suspensions will also hamper us, but there again the money we've spent should mean we have a team that is very competitive. So, roll on Tuesday and I expect to see us take the game to them. Of course they may beat us, but we need to step up a gear or two and realise that bottom mid table is nowhere near good enough.

3 on the bounce is great, but I'm not celebrating too much when its Derby, Bristol City, and Rotherham as I expect that anyway. Once we've won 5 or 6 on the bounce then I'll think this side could actually do something.

Rotherham had a clear strategy of getting into us and disrupting our game, so not surprising that we were disjointed. Some challenges were robust, to say the least, and the ref didn't really police it well. Not unlike other opponents this season.
The difference in this game was that the MF three were up to it and up for it.
The team is getting better and these three games should be a real confidence-booster.

The police were great.  It was the stewards who seemed over-sensitive.
