Aston Villa v Brentford - Match Thread

[paul_e]

I don't fault the ref for not giving Maupay a red, he's clearly not seen it so it'll be a retrospective ban.

[Rigadon]

Brilliant performance, their goal aside.  Love this team again.  The refereeing in this league is pitiful.  That ****** standing on SJM, HOW did he miss that? 

[villadelph]

That Maupue is a dirty c***.

What a scumbag that clown is. Retroactive ban?

[four fornicholl]

We are far superior in all departments. Go for the jugular Villa.

[Tuscans]

It's a pretty shit set up if you get demoted from the Premier League other teams in a league below have to suffer from the same shit ref'fing that put him here.

[Villafirst]

Ref is fucking useless!

[Nev]

Quick chat at HT and nominate someone to go after that dirty bastard.

[Marton]

Stoke down by 2 at home...they supposed to run away easy with automatic promotion this year?

[JUAN PABLO]

played well except for the odd lapse at the back

actually thought axel looks ok , there is a player there , maybe at CB

loan albert to Boro , he has lost it

Kod is back

ref is awful

now go and McGinn  this Villa

Final ball in needs to be better. Stamp bastard cheat. Villa much the better side. Lovely goal Jimmy.

[manic-road]

Loved the first half performance, loads of pace, energy and a few chances. Haven't seen that for a while from a Villa team.
Hope that was our poor half.

[auntiesledd]

It sounded like a crackin' first half (although I am listening on Talkshite 2). Hopefully we'll pick up where we left off after the break.

[taylorsworkrate]

Did the ref really just blow for half time there? Utterly ridiculous.

Excellent performance going forward. Kodjia has been great with a stormer of a goal.

Poor defending for their goal although Im sure that Tuanzebe got a little nudge from Watkins to create the space. Not sure why he didn't protest it?

As for that dirty ****** Maupey, lets get 2 or 3 goals up and then send on someone dispensible to give him a taste of his own medicine.

[jwarry]

Second half will be interesting. Do you back Smith to motivate his troops or will Stevie boy fuck it up?

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Thank god the ref never sent him off. We're shit against 10 men.

Good half, great pressing, just need Albert and Jack to give Kodja more support in the box. Albert needs to come in more and give himself the option of going wide rather than keeping the linesman company.
