Aston Villa 2-1 Excellent Ipswich Town Post Match Thread

[Louzie0]

Great result, another goal disallowed and their goalkeeper was rather good.

Thanks for posting the highlights, Legion.

As i predicted in the pre match post,Green injured in training. Like Angela he is made of glass.BB was probably injured in training to .

I completely forgot about Green . Another training injury , who is the coach down there Alex Murphy?

Thought 2-1 flattered Ipswich (who were excellent, they really were). We were dominant apart from a spell either side of their goal - though we did seem determined to try and give it away. Subs threw the shape a bit. Elmo was awful; thought Hutton did well today.

I agree with all of this.

Louise I thought their Keeper was very dodgy as he kept spilling almost every shot he saved and was very lucky that they all fell to his defenders. I give you his slide across to deny Tammy. That was good.

Shame about the disallowed goal because it was a lovely finish by Albert.

Welcome three points. Ipswich were appalling. Their GK kept the score respectable. Abraham and McGinn were very good. Elmo was poor. Our penalty looked nailed on from where UKR and I were sitting (thanks for the ticket and company). Could not tell if they had a legitimate shout for theirs. Lambert looked less ill than he did the last time he was at VP.

Legion it was the most blatant shout ever and me and all those around me were amazed the the officials  either missed it or bottled it.

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.

Maybe it was the weather that heightened the sense of gloom.  It is a win, but I thought it was a bit of an empty one (probably should have said I felt a bit empty leaving the ground rather than it being an empty win, as we really needed it) as I just didn’t think we played very well against poor opposition.  They could quite easily have equalised when they hit the post, but I also accept that we missed a number of chances that could have made the score line more convincing. 

With the exception of McGinn and Abraham, it just feels like it’s been the same bunch of players handing the same substandard performances game after game for weeks now.  Hopefully that can be rectified this coming week and some new faces can brought in.

[Legion]

Just watched the highlights and think McGinn made the most of his to put it mildly. Still can't tell clearly if theirs was a penalty or not. Ref made two great decisions, anyway.

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

That sounds extremely harsh - given Mr Mumbles thought his team were both "excellent" and "fantastic". It seem some of you lot were watching a different game...

*does imaginary fishing emoticon thingy*

ps I'm relieved we managed to get back to winning ways; and didn't completely fall to pieces when the mighty Ipswich inevitably grabbed a goal back. Hopefully the result will give our lot a bit of confidence and we'll witness a steady improvement over the next collection of fixtures. Well, I can hope can't I?

Fair enough, Aftab, I’ve only seen the highlights.

[olaftab]

Was there a lot of Lambert bashing there today?

No. Totally ignored, no recognition or abuse.

[lovejoy]

Was there a lot of Lambert bashing there today?

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

Glad to hear it. No need to give them a cause. Hopefully the same against Forest and Sheffield Weds.

[Toronto Villa]

It won’t be the same for MON. Bruce is irrelevant.

Very pleased with the win. Great delivery by Conor for the 1st goal. Our pen was a definite pen. Couldn't see their shout for one as in the holte end. Kalinic has trouble kicking the ball and distributing it to a teammate. Thought his positioning was suspect for their goal. Left side of our defence was poor today. Is Terry doing defensive training with the players? If not why not? If he is f-ck he has a lot to learn. Any midfield would be unnerved with that defence behind them. Elmo was awful when introduced. Didn't understood the substitution unless it was to show potential interested parties that Elmo is fit and ready to be moved on. Glad of the 3 points! Today's win needs to be the 1st in a winning sequence of 6 or 7+ games if we are to make an impression on top 6. UTV!

Well much better today, when we get on it and start passing that ball at pace there’s not many can live with us in this league. Still need more composure in the final third as a few wrong options again today particularly from wide areas where the service was very poor but I felt a 3-1 would have been a fairer reflection of the play. We did make it hard for ourselves around their goal but dug in and came again. MotM for me shared again between McGinn and Abraham.

Oh and Ipswich what a niggly bunch of moaning carrot crunching fuckers, I hope there are massive delays on the A14 and they all get home ar midnight.
