Aston Villa v Sheff United Post Match Thread

[Luke8]

On the negative side, we needed a win badly. I think getting ahead of the drop zone at the 29 game mark would have lifted us a bit. We now have a tough run-in and we're still playing catchup. Honestly, I think it's all she wrote now. This was the game.

Obviously would have been a lift to be above the relegation zone, but three points between five teams with nine to play, hardly done and dusted by any measure.

It’s not football as I know it - can imagine there will be lots of going through the motions games like this.

Happy enough with the point, we deserved it.

[TonyD]

I thought we’d get tonked.

So happy with the performance and the point. 

Still a lot of points to play for.  UTV

[PaulWinch again]

It was a solid enough start. We now need to build on it and add some creative sharpness, without losing the solidity.

[ldavfc4eva]

Thought we were solid today, no real clear cut chances for either side.

A point and a clean sheet is something to build on, McGinn getting 75 minutes under his belt too and no injuries either.

Not as bad a start as some on here would make out, all to play for still and we are well in the mix.

[Taylor]

I thought we were the better side today. And none of our players looked as bad as David Luis in the other game today. He’s cost the Arse two goals and he’s been sent off. He didn’t even start the game.

[olaftab]

First clean sheet since Boxing Day.

And unbeaten since early March. What's not to like?

[Meanwood Villa]

Shit game. Very uninspiring. Having said which a point is a decent result I think and we're far from down yet.

[Des Little]

I’d have taken that point pre-match, I was worried that they’d come and do a job on us. Think we edged it on balance of play, but just wish we had a bit more of a cutting edge at times. That said, a clean sheet is very pleasing and something to build on.

Re: the goal that wasn’t, it’s about time we had a shocking decision go our way, and you can include the corresponding fixture last season when Sharp kicked it out of Nyland’s hands as well.

[Legion]

They were robbed. We got an undeserved point on the basis of the non-goal. Just waiting for my FB feed to be inundated with comparisons to the Leeds game last season. Give the goal! Give the goal!

[PeterWithesShin]

They were robbed a goal  they were not robbed of a win unless the final whistle was due after 42 mins.

[hilts_coolerking]

Has there been anything from Dean yet?

[aj2k77]

Nyland was shit for the non goal.

[kippaxvilla2]

If we’ve genuinely sorted out our problems at the back then we have half a chance.  Goals are a big concern.

[ROBBO]

We're gone, done for, Kaput, deary me have you forgotten there are half a dozen sides around us that are just as bad as us, it's still up for grabs.
