Aston Villa v Bolton Wanderers Post-Match Thread

[VillaBoy_23]

I thought we played ok today and any criticism is extremely harsh when you have to put up with a refereeing team as inept as the one we endured today

[cheltenhamlion]

Well done Villa on getting the result and another 3 points today! Onwards and upwards hopefully!
Did I hear right, that scum conceded 6 today? Haha

They won injury time 1-0.....

Three wins out of three since I left the country. I'm back for the Wolves game, sorry.

Is there an option to pay to keep you away?

I have set up a gofundcdbullyweefan keep out of the country website. Please donate.

Who is going to play left back for the next 3 games??

[Villa75]

4/5 points max coming in October, in my opinion.

Why be so gloomy after 14 points from 18 and 4 wins on the bounce, SilhillVilla Villa75?

Fuck me. I must be 'The man of a thousand faces'!

Who was it you guys reckoned I was last week?

More to the point. How many points do you think we will get from the next three games?

I thought 5 was quite optimistic, considering we're only playing one shite team in the next three.

The ref was a clown and managed to hack off both teams which is quite a feat.  Their  two CBs were were fouling Davis in particular non-stop.   But it was the ref overruling the lino's offside flag that  led to us winning the corner that eventually led to the penalty. And it wasn't the ref who made us play backwards and sideways most of the time and at a painfully slow tempo yet again.

That performance will have the top 6 shitting themselves.

There is no such thing a top six team at the moment and current lot in there at the moment will soon be f**ked off.

Didnt see it, but it sounds ugly. I will take the points but as others have said it doesnt bode well against better opposition.

At last. My question from earlier gets its reply. 😜

KT, I share your views by and large on both of your posts. I was away for the Norwich match and, to date, I have yet to witness Villa playing with any urgency at home. Terry, for me, is making the wrong choice as wants to kick towards Holte End in the first half, which really pisses me off. However, today, we had Bolton wasting as much time as possible from the word go and, the referee certainly didn't help our cause. Having said that, why go so defensive with the subs with 20 minutes still to go.
Overall, I'm very happy with another 3 points but, really need to up our game and tempo for the matches in October.

Surely there is though? I would suggest, if you look at the table, it would be the actual top 6.

What's confusing you here?

I agree, and if Bruce is a "proper" manager he must realise this. Lets enjoy the winning run and wait and see.

There was only ever going to be one team trying to win today and another who played with all gamesmanship traditions installed by Alladyce in their golden period. The way they fouled endlessly just before the contact completely fooled the referee and fair play to our players for not rising to it and keeping their cool.

An easy win against anti football I thought only made nervous at the end because of the score.

[Boz]

Massive 3 points, but a poor performance.

It's been a great run, but the level of performance will need to be substantially better against Wolves.

And a voice of reason raises itself above the cacophony.
