They were the better side apparently.

Does anyone know why Green wasn’t in the squad today?

He did an interview for AVTV in midweek which knackered him for today!

A win I guess but not buying into this Dean Smith football genius hype. Average all over.

This is still Bruce's players. Plus a raft of injuries to key players

[London Villan]

23 shots versus their 8, but yes Paul you were the better team... go back under your rock and relegate another club.

Having watched the highlights that would seem unlikely.

Agree, feels like an empty victory to be totally.  We just look so disjointed and unbalanced, and are so fragile at the back.  It was a far from convincing win against a really poor Ipswich team and some of Dean Smith’s decisions are becoming a bit baffling to be honest.  Elmohamady coming on was a case in point and he was pretty awful. 

Hopefully some much needed recruitment can be done this week.

If only we could get our shit together we still have to play loads of teams at the top and around us so we still could have a chance of 6th.  Problem is I can’t see us doing that!

7 out of current top 9 to play at home.
Get some fresh players in and it is no way over yet

Blimey, reading some of the comments, you'd think we'd lost. I don't know why some people bother. I know it's all about opinions but empty victory,  really?

We played OK, they only had one good chance other than the belter they scored and if Abraham puts another couple of his chances away, it would have been a lot more convincing. Its a win, I'm happy.

Hamstring injury yet again.....he's never fit for Villa.

Was there a lot of Lambert bashing there today?

[Villafirst]

Regardless of the performance, we missed a raft of chances. It could've been 5-1 easily.

[Toronto Villa]

Decent performance. Thank fuck for Tammy. Ipswich to go again.

Are you nuts?

What’s that sweetheart?

No - very muted, if not non-existent reaction to him.

[Sexual Ealing]

I was stood amongst the oiks at the back of the Holte. It was thoroughly enjoyable.

I didn't hear Lambert's name once.

Elmo needs to be giftwrapped and launched at South Yorkshire. He's like finding your new girlfriend's ex's Dire Straits CD lying around. So many questions. All of them starting with the words 'what' 'the' and 'fuck'.

I got a not-so-Proustian whiff of the stench of Lambert's team needing a goal and therefore spending the last five minutes + stoppages trying to get the ball from the opposition near their own corner flag. Happy days.

[Richard E]

Lambert’s timewasting stoppage time substitution today when his side was losing was a particularly clever move.
