All conquering Aston Villa 1-0 QPR

[DeKuip]

Is this stat correct?  8 hours since we conceded at Villa Park?

No, it's seven weeks!

Fortress Villa Park.

We turn up thinking we will win we win and we don't let them score....it just can not get better.

Gong to work in the morning after getting up at 4 to listen to games, recently became a lot more pleasurable. My students are wondering what's become of their formerly very grumpy teacher.

Another win well done Aston Villa

[mr underhill]

dreadful performance but a great result - the early goal seemed to galvanise OPR and throw us onto the defensive.

I like this willing lark. Fairplay to the team and Bruce. Nice to see them put together this winning streak!

[PaulTheVillan]

Another win, that'll do.

To stand a chance we'd pretty much have to win every game from now until the last whistle. Not impossible, but improbable.

Awful performance apart from the first 10 mins, I thought both Chester and Baker were men of the match

It would be nice to see us string 4 - 5 passes to each other too take the pressure off the defence

Wasn't there last night but by the sound of it, we made hard work of it again which is annoyingly common. Another win though which bodes well going forward and for confidence.

We have the players that can do their individual jobs well at this level.  What we are not doing well is playing as a team.  That  is either down to the coaching or players not playing as instructed.  If the latter, my first point may not be correct. Another point is whether they are playing to their full potential. If not, why not.

An entertainingly crap game of football

[The Edge]

Yep sounds like another bang average performance but another clean sheet and a win is an impressive run. SB has done what he does well. Made us hard to beat and we can dig out a result. In other words he's  instilled a winning mentality. Phase 2 will defo involve bringing in the right players to enhance the team and improve the quality of play. I believe✌

[oldhill_avfc]

We have half a team that are playing extremely well, the rest exemplify that we have an excellent defensive unit and a goal threat, but little in between. 

Amavi and Bacuna were woeful last night.  Adomah's touch was desperate at times and Kodjia can't bring himself to do the simple thing.  All of which meant that we we couldn't hold onto the ball and get forward.   The keeper makes 'interesting' decisions which again don't help retain the ball and gain a little composure when it it matters.

From his post match comments it seems Bruce sees the problem clearly, but can only work with what he's got.

I think it's clear that Bacuna hasn't got a long term role.  Amavai has shown he's not a full back, midfielder  or winger.  Adomah is willing but certainly not a second striker.   Hourihane needs to sort himself out and find a role.   Green and/or Grealish need to get more game time.

[mr underhill]

Amavi needs to go - I thought his one attribute was crossing the ball decently but he was shite at that all evening.

Well that was painful BUT what absolute pleasure it is that game after game at Villa Park the arseholes cooped up to my left have nothing to celebrate. Now that is worth the ticket money.

It was painful but we won and until we are top of the premiership I won't get fed up of winning, so ignore the clowns to the left of you, make the most of it and long may it continue UTV

maybe engage with the jokers to the right instead?
