Aston Villa 0-0 Millwall fightnight post match thread.

One shot on target  to their eight, although we had several good chances. At least the game was not boring, but the problems are clear for all to see.

[class-of-82]

how Snodgrass gets in the team before jack and callum is beyond belief and I been saying every game we look a different team with jack in there.

It was mildly amusing listening to some of the callers on WM on the way home.

[PaulWinch again]

Well he's normally pretty good, that's why.

They must have done it twice! They did it when I got there about 2:30.

What am I missing here? Why would the police even allow them to get near the Holte in any kind of numbers to do that? Irrespective of when they did it. It's just asking for trouble.

From what I saw, they never said a word, had no colours on, and just walked through the crowd, when they crossed Trinity Rd from Aston Hall. Looked about 60 of them.

Went to the game earlier and it was very disappointing.  Outplayed for long periods by a workmanlike 4-4-2 outfit who really should have won the game.  Some very poor performances and to top it all off, Samba limped off clutching his hamstring. 

Bruce has got to see that Onomah simply isn't suited to the 'number 10' role and would be better off being played a bit deeper.  Onomah just isn't creative enough in that position and it is time that Grealish or O'Hare were given a chance.  Hourihane might also be suited to playing there and could chip in a few goals as well.

A few of their fans asked me before the game how to get to the away end and they were fine, but the majority of them inside the ground seemed like morons.  Unfortunately, their presence seemed to draw a few morons of our own out of their caves with a particular group in front of me being a real case in point.

Snodgrass is normally pretty good really ??

Snodgrass central to our recent form. Not sure what Jack did today to justify replacing him

[Legion]

He had our only (?) shot on target.

[Hoppo]

Bruce will fall on his sword eventually by his negative subs. Where was Harry McKirdy, Callum  O'Hare?. There are just not enough attacking options.

[myf]

He had our only (?) shot on target.

we were better first half before he came on; two bad shots over the bar and Davis fluffed the 1 on 1. Second half garbage. If we're banking on Grealish to spur us on we're desperate.

We played spot the ethnic minority and female in the away end. Pwopa throwback to 70s/80s

[brontebilly]

Awful result. Was clear Grealish needed to start after the impact he made at Leeds, very strange decision to leave him on bench.

Admoah's hot streak has come to an end and we are really struggling to create and score goals.

Snodgrass failing to step up while no surprise that Onomoah and Davis continue to struggle

Breather will do Hourihane no harm, some combo of Grealish, Hogan and himself will have to be tried v Derby

Huge game

[Abbeyfealeavfc]

Disappointing performance and result. Definite 2 points dropped and if it wasn't for Johnstone, it would have been 3. We've drawn 7 out of 21 games (4 at home). Last season Newcastle drew 7 all season and Brighton 9. We don't stand a chance of auto promotion if we're drawing games we should be winning. Funniest moments in an otherwise poor game were watching their fans celebrate their disallowed goal (sad b-stards) and Johnstone clearing a ball into their support followed by their reaction. For me Hourihane and Grealish need to be in the starting 11 and Snodgrass was awful today!

[ROBBO]

This is Bruce all over Lansbury score the equaliser last week so plays him this week, we look an average side in a poor division and that has got nothing to the skill level of the players it is down to the way the manager uses those players. One thing is certain Davis needs a break so we have to find an alternative structure in the forward set up as we do not have a player strong enough to play a holding role.

[sickbeggar]

Well it's been coming. You can't play totally pants all the time and keep winning like we have. The Bruce should have changed the team when it obviously wasn't working in the proceeding games but as usual his safety first methodology wins out.  1 shot on target says it all really.
