Wigan Athletic vs Aston Villa Match Thread

Players obviously didn't pay much attention during the Man City Liverpool video.

Commentators seem to think El Ghazi is playing in goal for us. Does anyone want a stream?

Yes please. Are there any where you don’t have to install anything ( whatever that means).

I PM'd you Percy, does it not work?

Taylor was our worst player by miles last week. When our defence is easily our weakest feature, why is Taylor even considered?

[SamTheMouse]

I'd much rather have Albert than El Ghazi. At least Albert tracks back.

[Kimaster1976]

It absolutely does not make sense what has happened to us, since that West Brom equaliser we have gone from playing slick stylish football steam rolling the division like we should with the players at our disposal to a team playing and doing even worse than the BruceBall regime!!!

[Toronto Villa]

Honestly. How have we in the matter of weeks become absolutely shit?

[CJ]

Another flat performance in that half. We seem to have lost our mojo the last few games

[Villa in Denmark]

A few boos at HT according to the wireless commentary.

Thought I heard a few on the box.

Either the expectancy of playing for a club like Villa is too much for these players, or they are just not up to it, or it is poor coaching.

We aren’t tight enough, don’t track runners and look as though our boots are made of lead

This is beginning to get concerning. I'm prepared to give Smith time, but I think we've been poorer for longer than we've been better under him.

[hilts_coolerking]

El Ghazi contributed SFA in that half.

[john e]

camped in our own half against Wigan Athletic

the manager has got that what’s going on clueless look that seems to come with the Villa job

Pathetic

[JUAN PABLO]

HT


back four shite

Houriane  shit

Ronaldo Shite

Bolaise     cant he control the ball - shite

goalie made 2 good saves and abraham should have stuck one away , thats why he will never play for chelsea

playoffs?   Im not sure

[Edvard Remberg]

I think the problem with this team is lack of intelligences - in other words,  so many players are fucking stupid - no brain power,  idiot decisions.

Why play in the air with the wind???

[CT]

We've been battered, no response from the Swansea game at all.

[canuckvillan]

The opportunity we have the rest of this season is to position ourselves for the next one: to determine who needs to be shifted, who deserves a first-team call-up, and to build a real side of players we own that can push for promotion and stick a level up.  We aren't there today, but Smith will sort it out, given time.
