Aston Villa v Bolton Wanderers Post-Match Thread

[badluckeric(gates)]

I never expected a goalfest. But i did expect 3points. Wolves will be interesting and there should be a bit of space for us to play. Hope we do.

For all the ordinariness that followed, there's still no better place to be on a Saturday afternoon.

Did you take that photo, mate? I love that!

Can't get the link to open with the image.

Yep, it's one of mine, cheers. Seems like Photobucket's changed the way it lets you link. Try this – feel free to download it.

he clearly does not have the tactical nous to play to our strengths rather than to the opposition's.

Our recent run suggests otherwise.

4 promotions clearly suggests he does as well.

3 points and a win ..... thats what the records will show ...... at the end that is all that counts

Reading this it seems that most who are slagging the team off even state they were not at the game - to them get your backsides down to the ground and show support for the team

Referee was terrible ...seemed to want to be centre of attention as was shown in the first half when he over ruled an offside by the linesman - afraid the red card does look like a red to me

There will be games when we win like this and thats something we have not done in the past

The next month is vital some key games where points will be difficult to take

Get behind a team who have just won 4 on the bounce rather than pick fault with them

It's not always just as easy as that.

Accept its not always as easy but if you haven't been don't slag the team off when you didn't see it first hand

3 points will do me although it was hardly a thriller yesterday.  The ref didn't help the situation and Bolton came with just one plan in mind. I just hope against Wolves that Bruce plays with 2 strikers and goes there to win. If we go there and set up happy to get a point we will come away with nothing.

There are people who would love to be down there but just can't afford it and that's a shame.  I can see the point LV is trying to make though.

I normally not have a go at Referees trusting the balancing out factor to address genuine errors and any incompetence. However yesterday was a poor  very poor performance by Mr Jeremy Simpson and his Assistant. There were many examples of their incompetence including the red card but the one that got my goat was an incident at the start of second half. Kodjia had the ball in their box to the left Wheater grabbed his wrist with both hands and kept pulling him back for what must have been an eternity. Simpson and Assistant in front of their fans must have had an excellent view but no foul was given. May be because he wasn't brave enough to give another pen or because Jimmy stayed on his feet nevertheless it was cowardly act of neglect of duty.

Don't agree LV. I go to every match (at least every home game) but I defend the right of our supporters near and far from Villa Park to comment whichever way they think is right on our performance. They "live and die" just like those of us in the ground.

Can we slag them off if we watch it on avtv?

[olaftab]

Yes double slag off as you have paid to watch thru a crap service.

Haha. Ok mate. It works great on my phone, but on a laptop it isn't great, and the volume is incredibly low. I've no idea why.

I think we have to accept that we have a style now, and it's very similar to MON's with all its strengths and weaknesses - on our day, especially if we make an early breakthrough, we can rip through teams on the break, but if they dig in and we don't find our fluency (which is sort of up to luck more than design) we can make hard work of supposedly easy games. The important thing to do on those days is just fecking win - which we did, so it's all still to the good for now.
