Burnley vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

We have the funds to keep progressing though
 We're better this year not because everybody is dire, but because we're much better.

We've signed a Champions League midfielder, we'll like as not do the same in July/August again. Good chance of Europe League.

what was the score at Burnley last year?oh yes I remember wo won 3-1

2-1 actually! Having trouble with google search?

You can't expect them to remember details of wins. Just checked his contributions. 7 posts spread over 4 match threads this season - Leeds, Brighton, West Ham, Burnley.

It's so obvious we need another decent option up front, far more so than another midfielder.

He's on loan for the season at Solihull Moors.

Louie Barry? At least on the bench?

As frustrating as the result is & a lost opportunity for 3 points against a shite team, we've come so far so quickly it's hard to be too harsh on them. There's far more positives than negatives about the club, management & players.

A year ago we were as good as relegated.

A year before that we lost 3-0 at Wigan & looked a poor championship side.

Can we block him.  The last thing we need is a troll giving it the big one tonight.

That’s very honest by Dean. We’ve done such a good job this season from winning positions and tonight was the first time we didn’t see the job through. But this will happen across a season. Even for the very best teams and we are not one of them yet. This is part of our evolution. The contrast between last season and this is incredible but we still have a good way to go to be a top 6 side. What we are seeing is the makings of one but along the way we will have setbacks. And that includes less the perfect performances from our players in a game or a series of games. Tonight was one of the best first halves we’ve put together followed by one of the worst. And that’s the first time that’s happened since Leeds. And even Leeds was an average first half.

I’m just not going to panic about time but have every right to be disappointed because we did toss three points away headed into three more difficult games.

Fully agree with this.

He's nowhere near physically ready

At all.

Gutted by that result I guess it’s just a sign of how far we’ve come . To lead twice and come away with nothing hurts but we still have half a season to go so I’ll try not to get to too down but damn this football club knows how to kick you in the nuts.

Over the years this club has smashed me in the nuts that often I'm still not sure how I had kids.

Nice of the BBC to put Sean Dyche's interview up twice, the clowns.

Considering we were pretty much down last season and the fact we scraped up against all the odds ( incredible odds) I think we should take stock and just look how far we have come - and how bloody good we are.

Yes, just looking at the first half we should have buried them.

But....and but it’s only half a season in a mad mad season.

We ain’t do too badly.

I’m probably one of the most miserable bas*%rds on here.

But loving this season.

In about 3 to 4 years hopefully
Not in the squad tonight in the loss to Notts County

no at eighty years of age I’m not quite has sharp has I used to be but I remember winsand losses and I’ve seen villa teams win fa and league cups not to mention European so I know a good villa team when I see one and this group have some way to go

And not forgetting we won the league in 82. Guess you've seen a lot of change at Villa Park in all those years.
