Aston Villa 2-1 Excellent Ipswich Town Post Match Thread

[kippaxvilla2]

“Jesus Christ. It’s hand-ball. It’s an unbelievable decision and the linesman is standing right there. It’s blatant.”

And following up on the decision to award McGinn a penalty that Abraham subsequently converted, Lambert added: “Listen, I used to play the game.

“Judge rolls it no problem and the boy goes down. It’s not the boy’s fault, but the referee hasn’t seen it.

“That’s my big gripe on it. Two big moments he has missed.

“You create your own luck but you’re just looking for things to go your way.
 
“Those two decisions were incredible. Then we go an hit the post when we’re on top of our game.

“I couldn’t ask any more from the lads. I’m proud of them. I thought we were really good but the decisions disappointed me.”

Is he fucking high?

this on the BBC Sport website match report:  "Abraham's scoring streak is understood to have made him the first Villa player to score in seven successive home games for the club since the great Pongo Waring in 1932-33."

I may be misremembering here, but didn’t Platt score in 9 home games on the bounce for us?

Nope, looks like he still believes the utter bollocks he’s still spouting.

Some genuine comedy moments where our defence failed to clear and handed them chances but better finishing and we could have won by a cricket score but they should have had a pen, hit the bar and our pen was iffy. At times we outclassed them but at times we looked like Keystone Cops playing Keystone Cops reserves. Massively frustrating.

Oh, and McGinn is quality.

From highlights I saw could have been a hand ball and pen looked dubious

It was concerning to see a long direct ball causing villa central defence problems.

However Mcginn seemed to have been unlucky not to score and had a ridic amount of shots.

Clearly villa had the attacking dominance with 23 shots and 13 on target Lambo should concede villa had the upper hand but anyway villa won and now 4 points off play offs .

It was a definite penalty for us, he clearly tugged McGinns shirt.

Although Sears strike is a stunner, I've just seen the Hologram's absolutely pathetic effort at closing him down.

In the perfect position, he just runs past him and then turns his back.

John McGinn was much awful backache carrying him every single week.

Good to get a win. Started off well, scored early, all set up for a big win. Their keeper pulled off some good saves although he spilled the majority of them. Tammy and SJM were on form and running the show. Could and probably should of been 3 up by half time. Second half began and we played well and eventually got our second with a definite penalty when their defender pulled SJM 3 yards in front of the referee. They should of had a pen themselves but for some reason the ref didn't see it. They scored a cracker, which I doubt any keeper could of saved. We panicked for a while then calmed down and saw the game out.
Chester needs to be rested and get his fitness back as he is getting progressively worse every week both in confidence and ability. Keepers distribution is appalling. Tommy is far better since his return. Wheelan played ok. Taylor played ok until he made a mistake in the 70th minute which instantly and completely shot hit confidence for the rest of the match. SJM ran his heart out from start to finish. Tammy....what can I say, IMMENSE.

Without going through the whole thread- look at their results. They are bottom of the league but they aren’t losing by cricket scores. A win is a win.

Absolutely, looked clear from lower Holte.

Okay thanks for clearing up .
Only seen highlights once .

Lambo Buffoon to suggest otherwise and should accept!

Any thing on the Elphick handball?
Aware it's down other end from holte but great stop wondering more body than hand

Good point.
However may not lose by big scores they aren't scoring goals.

There is the fact Ipswich handn't scored away for 7  consecutive matches .
6 consecutive league matches.

Last time they did 2-2 away to another lowly team bottom 3 reading .

Whelan did good today, though I can't get used to him moving ahead of Conor in midfield. It was weird seeing Whelan ahead of Tammy on a couple of occasions. After a few losses of possession in the early stages McGinn settled down to have a great game. Hourihane's cross for Tammy was stunning. Returning midfielders will create more competition in that area. Defence is where we need proper re-enforcements. The attack with Tammy will then take care of business. UTV

Handball by Elphick but didn’t look deliberate but you see them given as the pundits say
