Reading v Hard to Beat Aston Villa Post Match Thread.

[Steve67]

The think is with Hourihane is that, if you take every corner and every free kick, you are bound to get assists.  Other than those, like Adoughnut, Wheelhimin and El Ghastly they don’t deserve a place in the side. Sadly, I’m not sure there’s many alternatives.

[Sexual Ealing]

I thought (at half time) that we'd given ourselves a platform to batter them second half. We did not do that.

I don't get the Hourihane-bashing - he was no worse than any of the others. El Ghazi has the talent to be much better than he is, which is really frustrating. Taylor is awful, but it's not his fault. Adomah was anonymous.

[PaulWinch again]

I think Taylor went as a player after they Coleman injury. He was ok before that, I think it took something away from him mentally.

[Jon Crofts]

That’ll sting a bit.

[VILLA MOLE]

Didn’t see an urgency or fluency from the boys today,

Midfield is too slow to get around the pitch which

makes them play too deep which in

turn isolates Abraham especially as the wingers were ineffective,

Today you wouldn’t have said there was much between the teams

That’ll sting a bit.

Bloody hell, poor bloke. That looks horrendous.

I hope Mings meant it, about time we had a few shithouses in our team.

You hope he did that deliberately?

Wow. Really?

[Toronto Villa]

You’re a dick if you truly feel that way. And Mings has already come out and said he feels terrible for what has happened. He’s a much better person than you are.

[QuintonVilla]

Calm down lads, it was a joke. It was obviously accidental but we do need to be a bit nastier and harder to play against (Not to that extent).

[Dazvillain]

Welcome to the positive thread !

Great centre back partnership, great debut from Mings, good intro and few playing mins from Carroll, first clean sheet for ages, a place up the table, still only 4 pts off 6th.

We have a plan longer term, we are /will be weeding out old,contracts and aged players come May/June.

The owners, CEO, Director of football and team management seem to have all bought into the plan , unlike this time this last year when we hurling the kitchen sink at achieve or bust in Mays final.

We can buy loan players if we want as we have options not just returning without receipt

Build for sustainability in the longer term has to be right as the owners want
Have patience

He could still face a ban for dangerous play, not clever especially as he does have form.

[stuart445]

Another pathetic result to add to Smiths ever growing collection.
Certain people were saying how great it would be under Smith and it'll be brilliant attacking football we'd be playing, can you please tell me what's happenwe because he seems to have destroyed our ability to score goals?
