Aston Villa 2-2 Always bitter Sam’s Bitters post match thread

[TopDeck113]

I enjoyed tonight's game, especially the last twenty minutes. Of course I'd be frustrated if we hadn't got the late equaliser, but overall it was one of our better performances of the AGE (Absent Grealish Era).

[Risso]

We got a point in a local derby. It's not ideal, but it's not damning either.

In the context of our recent run it’s pretty poor.

[Skerra]

Wasn’t the worst match I’ve ever watched and so pleased that Keinan finally got his goal. Hope that with Wesley back, DS goes 4-4-2 as he can start Davis with Watkins and has the backup in Wesley to go with that system. Traore is the obvious candidate to lose out and also, please start Ramsey in place of Barkley.

[Legion]

Very observant Legion, it was hypothetical

Also irrelevant.

[Allan C]

Delighted for Davis,  but it's getting harder to defend these dreadful displays.  It's as bad as anything served up by Bruce during his tenure.

Desn Smith may not necessarily get the sack, but NSWE need to give him and Purslow a severe talking to in the Summer.

If you think we are worse now than when Bruce was in charge you obviously didn't go in Bruce's tenure

We really wasn't that bad.

Yes  there are some ridiculous posts on here and this is clearly one of them. Some people need to re-run some of Bruce’s matches when even winning was dire to watch

I tell you what the negativity on this site is so funny.
It's Molineux Mix levels at times.
A cracking read though!

Keep dreaming, ain't gonna happen

4-4-2 is a dinosaur formation, played only by Sean Dyche and Lee Bowyer. It's not a signal of attacking intent.

[lovejoy]

It’s good to have options up front though.

[PaulWinch again]

4-4-2 would get us murdered most weeks. Teams would rip us apart in the midfield. That said I’d like to see some flexibility that enables us to vary our attacking set up.

If anyone fancies a sense of perspective, this is what our flared-trousered, Hi-Tec trainers-wearing cousins are saying about it:

For once I've read through the view from the opposition. Thought it was pretty reasonable.

Well, yes, but small man-big man was worked out by the time fire was discovered.

Careful. From there 'tis but a small step to wanting to see all the local sides do well.

[Smirker]

The performance was OK for me.

Two terrible mistakes in defence and lack of quality up front is why we didn't win. We created more than enough and looked comfortable. The performance wasn't as bad as they have been the past few months.

[The Edge]

Watched the game with my brother in law. Had a couple of beers and I can honestly say we really enjoyed the game. Ok quality wasn't top drawer but it made for a great spectacle. Just got in and thought I'd check in on H&V. Somehow our experience watching the game seems to be the polar opposite to some of the posters on here. I can't get my head around those posters who have said we were lucky and worse than Bruce ball!!  It's been quite surreal reading some of it. I guess this is the place where we can all air our views and it would be really boring if we all agreed on everything. We have effectively put the final nail in the Baggies relegation coffin. That will do for me tonight.
