Aston Villa v Bolton Wanderers Post-Match Thread

It's only fair that we don't accept the 3 points today, hopefully that will cheer 'Villa75' up a bit.

I've written a letter of apology to the spirit of William McGregor.

When did we last win four league games in a row?

Back in the day when I was young we often won more than a ....

Went to the game earlier and have to start with referee really.  I've seen some really poor ones in this league, but that clown today was the worst yet.  He veered from blowing up for everything to not giving anything and from my vantage posing in the North Stand, the red card for Taylor looked ridiculously harsh.  Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks would have been OK playing centre half for them today as he let them and Carl Henry wrestle Davis and Kodjia any time the ball went near them.  Those three got away with loads of fouls before they were eventually booked.

As for us, well we weren't very convincing today.  They were physical and spoiled it and we did have some decent play at times, but we didn't really show any ambition to go and take the game away from Bolton.  Have to pull Bruce up for his subs today.  The two CBs who had been fouling Kodjia and Davis all game had finally both just gone in the book and were visibly tiring, when Bruce decided to take our front two off and bring on Hogan and Onomah.  As usual, Hogan didn't really threaten them at all and the ball came straight back meaning that they were able to put a bit of pressure on us in the final stages.  Kodjia is returning from injury, so I can understand him going off, but Davis should have stayed on a bit longer and caused them more problems.

I thought the subs were fine but he made them too early. I thought Hogan did well when he came on actually though, he  must be a nightmare to defend against when you're knackered or on a yellow.

Most defenders seem to have coped quite well.

Poor game but my 6 year old saw his first league win - 5th time lucky! He was chanting "villa win" on the way out and a group of lads joined in and made his day. Still talking about it now - first time I've seen him excited about Villa.

For the 'football' we 'play'? Good idea.

[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.

I'm not worried about the next three games at the moment, I'm too busy being happy about the last four.

Good for you. Is it OK if others look ahead though? Or should we wait until you're ready?

Agree with Clampy about the subs being better than I expected but made too early.  Hogan does not look so slow against a tired defence.  The referee's performance was atrocious.  He spoiled the game.  Bolton sussed out his pedantic incompetence very early and filled their boots with a string of unpunished mayhem particularly against Davis and Kodjia.  I have never seen so many handballs go unpunished.

Get rid of one bore and another steps up.

Troy? Is that you?

Terry seem to lose a bit of concentration in the second half.

I think you have a very small penis and a very underdeveloped brain.

And that's the best your brain can come up with!?
