Wolves 0-1 Aston Villa Post Match Thread

[eamonn]

Two goals in his second game, none in the half a dozen that followed and he's out injured for a while now.

Oh. Sounds like best he stays there then.

Darius wrote a best selling book in the same situation.  Sitting on his arse in Turkey.

Samatta isn’t good enough for what we are building. We are only just getting started, but we are definitely moving the right way.

We sold him, he's not on loan.

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.

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

I thought we were jammy. On another day they could’ve been at least 2-0 up before the penalty. And it didn’t really look like a penalty to me either. Glad we won, but it was one of those games where we got a lot of luck instead of none at all.

They hit the post so we were lucky to get away with that. Otherwise Emi made one great save, no luck involved there and as for the pen, as stonewall as penalties come. It was a scrappy even game and we tried to win it and did.

Well we were "unjammy" at West Ham so I am sure things even themselves out over a season apart from the dreaded VAR

[wince]

Martinez was worth every penny. Nice ground out win when I thought a draw was on the cards. Let’s do Burnley and not gift a chrimbo prezzie to the bitters.

There's nothing jammy about having a goal keeper make consistent saves that are routine. That's what you get when you pay good money for an excellent one.

The game was petering out for a draw, but despite having 10 men, we went on the attack. Why is that jammy?

The Wolves were jammy that an obvious handball wasn't given. That was balanced out with the ball hitting the post.

The ball hits the post, it's not on target. That's not being jammy it's the attacker not being good enough.

[WarszaVillan]

We got the rub of the green as they say. We didn't against Brighton or West Ham, the later which we should have walked away with. Every game we compete and have a chance in, even on days we are not at our best.

[Legion]

I would love to see Samatta get another chance with us. In this team with more confidence and better players.

No thanks. Samatta is not the answer.

[robbo1874]

All about perspective Ads. I don’t do stats unless someone shoves them my way. On what I saw today, Villa deserved a point. It was a jammy penalty, but we got the win. Happy Days!

[Dave]

We sold him, he's not on loan.

I think technically it's both - he's on loan, but with one of those "automatically signs permanently at the end of it" type dealies.

[robbo1874]

The ball hits the post, it's not on target. That's not being hammy it's the attacker not being good enough.

youve even said we were lucky in your Birmingham live post or whatever it is!
