Aston Villa v Brighton - Match Thread

[Neil Hawkes]

Sidwell is slowly wiping or players out

Yet no booking

[OzVilla]

So they've got promoted to the top flight for the first time in decades, they whined about their ticket allocation yet you'd not know that any Brighton fans were there.

I thought they'd be jumping.

HT. We were ok.

[SoccerHQ]

WM seem to think the Hogan injury is serious.

[Matt Collins]

Is this the right impression (partly because it's par for the course)

We've been ok. Not passed the ball very well. Our chances have come from the generally shit standard of defending in this league?

[eamonn]

I guess that was our good half. Pile your money on Brighton.

WM seem to think the Hogan injury is serious.

Not sure how they came to that conclusion as he managed to walk off.

[Toronto Villa]

WM seem to think the Hogan injury is serious.

He has literally had no luck at all since he joined us. Was firing on all cylinders at Brentford, career at a dead stop since joining us.

Pretty poor game. We have zero fluidity to our passing and movement. We have had the best of the chances though.

45 minutes I'll never get back.

Not sure how they came to that conclusion as he managed to walk off.

They were saying he was in tears and given his previous record he'd know if it felt a bad one or not. Let's hope it's just a false scare like the one he had up at Newcastle.

Just because you walk off dosen't mean it's not ligaments or something. I remember Okore walking off v Newcastle and he was out for 10 months.

[OzVilla]

I thought the  game was played with the urgency of a pre season friendly from both teams and fans if I'm honest.

Like most of the fuckers we buy.

[PeterWithesShin]

Could have been a pen for us there.

[OzVilla]

2-0 Forest.

[Duncan Shaw]

Should have
