Wolves 0-1 Aston Villa Post Match Thread

[PaulWinch again]

Bloody lovely. I could only see the first half and then was in a reception black spot for the second. From what I saw Emi was excellent.

Villa were jammy today. But it feels so good when we do the ram raid and get the points! Pretty even game. I’ve not seen any stats, but it seemed to me, we had the better possession, but Wolves had the better quality overall. Some fantastic saves from Martinez, players chucking themselves at everything on both sides. Mike Dean is a c**t of a referee.

What I love about this team is how we keep going and going until the last kick. We have been involved in so many incidents right at the death this season because we are pushing and pushing.
How many times over the years have we watched Villa call it a day with 10 mins to go, and let games peter out to nothing.

that is very true. Great to see us battling to the end. After Martinez, I’d pick Ramsey as MOTM. Proper scrapper.

If you need to make up your salt in take for the day, Mol Mix is the place to go for premium saltiness.

No, we weren't jammy.
We battled it out and got the break at the end.

I struggle to recall times past where we'd been sat on a point and down to ten with five plus stoppage to go and we'd still pressed for a winner.

When Dougie got sent off I was hoping, thanks to Emi's brilliance, we would hold out for a point. It got to the 94th minute and the ball was near the safety of the corner flag. Cue for John McGinn to decide to tear into the area and win a penalty, very efficiently dispatched by Anwar. You can't beat that for a smash and grab!

[Small Rodent]

I think the stop start shape of the game helped us.

We are a team capable of putting moves together from scratch rather than only relying on pace and counterattacks.

Won those games in hand and we go Top and top clear providing we hand Newcastle and Man City a good hiding.

Villa have to be one of if not the best away side in the league


Way we perform and get wins and clean sheets- brilliant!
I'm with Dean only one match were we wee soundly beaten and even then we should have had the lead

Very healthy position and win Thursday and Sunday should be enjoying run up to Xmas


Unbelievable by McGinn today really good forays and kept going.
Superb way he won that penalty.
If he hadn't been on a yellow he would have been less restricted
Emi Martinez fine keeper.
El Ghazi stepped up well, disappointed Grealish didn't take it and was pretty average today and provided worst tackle in the game
Great contribution late on for the pen though and still a class act.
Few poor decisions by him in final third which still need improving
Thought Watkins did what he could and did one amazing turn and run towards goal
Good luck to him see quality there.
Up the Villa

Even at our worst, we still look a threat up top. That's a big change from last year. Thought Watkins was poor today really but still a threat compared to likes of Samatta, Wesley and Davis last year.

No forward on bench today so we need to get a backup option in somehow in Jan.

[Legion]

Agreed, but we have one out on loan at the moment.

I thought Watkins hold up play was brilliant.

Anybody else live amongst them? Fuck me they are not taking it well.

I’ve got no problem with winning ugly, although I’m not sure that’s what we did
not much between the teams but no one was parking the bus

it’s when winning ugly becomes the only way, the preferred option
as with some of our ex managers that’s what I don’t like

I don’t think there was one outfield player who you could say had a really good game today and we still came away with the points
we also matched them in most areas of the pitch with a under par performance

I think that’s a pretty good sign for the future as we know we can and will play way better than that
