Shambolic Aston Villa vs Smethwick Post-Match Thread

[Deano's Mullet]

Just got back in. I thought we looked ok until the first goal and then we fell away quite quickly as their second goal looked deflected. New Street after wasn't much fun watching the away support waltz through like they'd won the pools. Season is done and we need to try and finish well.  Two up front is a must as Abraham blows hot and cold and is isolated, I thought Hourihane and Whelan didnt know what to do going forward. Mings looks good, Hause did ok but we need better in most positions. And the ref was crap today. Absolute nothing to cheer.

I listen via wm. even when we win they make it sound like we are shit

They'll make it sound like we are shit in 5 years time when we're 5 up at HT in the European Cup final.

"Conor Hourihane may have scored 4 and assisted the other, but the way he missed that penalty was very poor"

Paul Franks at HT in that game, "typical Villa fans talking about the European Cup. Anyway, what's better Blues fans, winning the European Cup twice or the EFL Trophy for a third time?"

It's not been 4 months of shit though. It's more like we interupt this Steve Bruce season to bring you some decent football.

Now back to your scheduled programming.

Very nearly 4 months of shit, & certainly feels like many months of shit

Our friends in bbc wm did shut down a stripey in the phone in who was pretending to be villa and went on about European cup. Bless them

My Albion mate at work knew the exact date that we won it. He's 22. I didn't have a fucking clue.

I had the 26th in mind for some reason.

That was the night we lost at QPR.

Positives: that bloke at half time who won a season ticket for kicking the ball onto the disc, well done mate.

Second prize was two season tickets......

[Lastfootstamper]

His first game was on the 20th.

10th of October he joined us, it’s now 16th February, so yes he has been here for 4 months. Whilst that is a very short time to call a manager, overall I don’t think it has been good. The last few games especially have been very poor. If you think he will turn it round, fine, that’s your opinion, I am very concerned, as we approach a fourth season in this division, that we have become a very average championship team, with a very average championship manager.
