Aston Villa 3-2 Burton Albion Post Match Thread

[Exeter 77]

What were Terry and Chester doing for their second goal?

From looking at the highlights I thought Hutton was playing the the Burton player onside.

Is Bruce ok? I noticed that Calderwood did the post match interview again.

Negatives - Hourihane was anonymous, Elmohamady looked awful on the ball, apart from the cross for Albert and Johnstone needs to consistently command the 6 yard box.

I thought he took his goal well The cross was from Snodgrass for Albert's goal Elmo set up Jack.

I very much doubt that John Terry has ever been in a defence that conceded two goals as soppy as those we conceded today.  The OG was inxcuseable.

Ireland's goal at Stamford Bridge was nice and soft under TSM MkI

That fucking ref was clueless - the only thing he got right was their dive.

I said the same thing on the way home. He was hopeless.

[exiled on the wirral!]

This can be the only place in the world where we win 6 games in a row and we are shitting ourselves because we are playing Blues. The whole league are worried about playing us but we are still not happy. I think that says more about us as fans than the team. FFS have a bit of faith.

It’s not a collective voice mate.

Some absolute quality from Grealish and Snodgrass today, which was great because it seemed in short supply for long periods of the game.

...and that referee. I barely know where to start. Did he win a competition to do that today?

[Richard E]

The referee was absolutely diabolical.

The one linesman didn't appear to understand the offside rule and seemed to be under the impression that he was required to raise his flag every time we played the ball forward.

I'm certainly not shitting myself. Slightly wary due to the fact they have finally started to find some semblance of form to add to the fact playing us is their cup final. But I definitely won't be putting money on any  other result than a Villa win.

Post in haste, repent at leisure. 😕

Terry looked completely bewildered, I presume he thought Hutton was dealing with the runner.
