Aston Villa 2-2 Stoke City Post Match Thread

[Toronto Villa]

We got lucky in the end to get a draw. Whelan is such a poor player and he neither offers anything to help the defence or anything at all in attack. A meaningless, useless bog standard footballer. And our defence is just shit, but then we all knew that. Full backs both had poor games.

Anyway thank fuck for Kodjia today. Disappointing result

[Malandro]

Fuck sticks

[KevinGage]

Didn’t lose. Drawing too many of these sort of games.

Stoke are mince.

Play offs at very best this season if we can sort the defence out in January

[Risso]

We won't be going up automatically this season, just too far behind now.  No fault of Smith's, but he separately needs a new defence and keeper in January.

Plus point is scoring twice despite playing pretty poorly. Too many had an off day and the defence is just an accident waiting to happen. It's now 30 goals in our last 6 games. Boring boring Villa.

[PaulWinch again]

Our defence is making far too many bad errors, we score a lot of goals but fucking hell we concede a lot. It’s an average result, and thank goodness for Kodj.

[Steve67]

Centre of midfield is a problem area, alongside the defence.   Minor surgery is an understatement Deano. We didn't lose, well done for that because I honestly thought we might today.

Decent point based on performance - big few weeks coming up

Sadly it’s not waiting to happen, it is happening a lot and costing us games.

I sounds like we were quite fortunate to get something out of the game. I didn't realise JG was out for 2 months - & that concerns me as much as our defensive frailties. Hey ho, it is what it is innit. It doesn't bode well for Leeds, but hopefully Deano can work his magic at BMH in the week.

[Villafirst]

January can't come soon enough. What is it with Whelan?? Just get rid ffs!

[Risso]

Where’s this bollocks about Grealish being out for 2 months come from? Smith said he hoped he’d be back next week.

[cdbearsfan]

Never mind. We are still gooing up.
