Aston Villa vs Preston North End Post-Match Thread

[Toronto Villa]

Preston had 19 shots. A side that hadn't won for 9 games is bottom of the league and have most of their first team out came to VP and had 19 fecking shots.

Have we taken 19 shots this season?

[davidb]

Before tonight Whelan had take 1 and scored it, Bolasie had taken two and scored two. Given he had already scored...

[Richard]

Whelan should be shot if he did take the ball off Bolasie for the pen

[TonyD]

Now 7 points off the top.  Well it’s the new owners own fault now.  Negligence. 

[villa `cross the mersey]

So fucking predictable .......... The owners need to make a statement of intent in the morning and get rid of Bruce and His "coaches" - they all appear to be stealing a living at B6

[CT Villan]

Don't you guys see it. Whelan is one of us and also wants Bruce out. It can be the only rational explanation. We should be lauding him for being so selfless 

[clash city rocker]

Get rid of bruce tonight but how the fuck does a new manager do anything with our defence and keepers until january and that is without the problems of FFP because we aren't going up.

If the bastards still in charge for the next home game I think there needs to be co-ordinated protests involving cabbages.

Shocking second half very similar to 2 years ago when we gave away a 2 goal lead to draw 2-2.
why oh why did Whelan take that timidly hit free kick?? when Bolassie Jack McGinn and Birkir were still on the pitch???
poor management leaving no actual striker on the pitch--
 Johnson looked good very much akin to Barry Bannan last week!
 where are our warriors? very little pride passion and purpose on display.

[BoVillan esq]

The one thing that will come out of this debacle, we are about to find out the true nature and commitment plus awareness and ambition of our new owners, will they or won't they??

[JUAN PABLO]

Red Sox has just reported in that Bolasie had the ball but Whelan took it off him.

proves Bruce wants a pay off as Whelan is his agent

[Risso]

I await Spudtwat’s comments with interest. When we play against 10 men, it’s the hardest thing in the world. Preston didn’t find it that hard.

That has to be it for the useless ******?

I bet any decent manager could get a good side out of our squad.

That did cross my mind, but then I'm into conspiracy theories.  That said, it does look like he's lost the players.

Just reading that a fan threw at cabbage at SB.

It's gone straight into Saturday's starting XI.

Did it it him directly, or was it there or thereabouts?
