Aston Villa v Sheffield Utd - Match Thread

[Flamingo Lane]

Three goals and only three pages, Ware is everyone?

Delayed at my ex-wife's, picking up my daughter's Christmas present.  Missed the first three goals.

Davis has been poor, hopefully he’ll improve second half.

Four older players will suffer in the last 15 minutes in game played at that pace

It's very rare that I seethe about Villa nowadays, but I'm raging about that thirty-five minutes.

Well I dont know what the hell to make of that. Hopefully Bruce does. Time to earn your money Steve because tactically that looked like a bunch of subbuteo players on a fucking trampoline.

I admire your optimism.
The manager is not known for his tactical wizardry ...

Sadly I agree. But he needs to come up with something today. I have absolutley no clue what though. We started well but then became utterly disjointed mainly due to their pressing. Jedi is an obvious problem but Wheelan & Hourihane are also playing poorly, or are overwhelmed. Also I do hope this is the end of Bruce's increasingly regular habit of playing people out of position.

[oldtimernow]

Is Hourihane playing?

He just woke up apparently. 

Hourihane or me?

Hourihane mate. he was really quiet earlier I was agreeing with you.

thought so cos I was dreaming we were two goals up inside 10 minutes.....thought I was dreaming so assumed I was asleep

lol

Obviously it's pantomime time

It needs legs in midfield and for the two wide men to press right onto their wing backs, as they were doing.

I seethed for a long time after last week's visit to Derby ... hence, I went today to watch Harrogate Town win 3-0 rather than travel down to VP.

sublime pass from Albert...straight to Donaldson

[jwarry]

Snodgrass is shit at the moment, need to come off

[CT Villan]

Every time the opposition have a go, we go to pieces.

Bloody hell - I'm starting to think I was better off there.

[Whiney MacWhineface]

This is terrible football.

[Bad English]

Bruce will just bring fatso on in twenty minutes and hope he nicks one. No hopes here.

[jwarry]

I’m afraid we really miss Terry’s influence and positioning. Can’t believe how much difference one man can make
