Aston Villa vs Brentford Post-Match Thread

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Last point of the night, my god, Villa Park looked beautiful today and the fans despite only having a couple of songs, were bloody loud.

When I saw the lineup before the match I was worried, but I thought they did ok.

And just what have we done to deserve so many absences/injuries?

Mings
McGinn
Sanson
Traore
Bailey
Watkins (he'd have started if fully fit)
Davies

When we're fully fit I think we'll do well.

When they come back we will kick ass.

Late Summer/Autumn is always when VP and its surrounding area is at is most majestic.

Very suprised at the negativity, when i saw who was missing i could see nothing but a loss. Thought Cash was dreadful but apart from him thought everyone contributed, Chuk will benefit from that obviously not ready but not a disaster, thought Nakambe steaded us when he came on and AEG really commited himself as if he was trying to making a point.
I'm still nonplussed at not getting a dfm in and think we will pay a price for it, but with half a team missing i think we did okay.

It is mentioned above but particularly for those of us watching from afar, a full Villa Park in the sunshine looked majestic.

As it is.

Toneys abit of a prick isnt he?

Sorry but why?
He's good strong player and I wish him well.

Just some no mark giving it the billy big one in front of the Holte.

I thought we looked bang average and struggling massively without the focal point of Grealish to launch meaningful attacks. That might change with Traore, Bailey and Watkins in the side.

I’ve got a mate who’s well in at Brentford who says he’s a remarkably nice fella. As the only other person he’s said this about previously was Watkins I’m inclined to believe him.

I thought their high press was really good although they couldn’t maintain it for 90mins, swinging high crosses into their penalty area was to me a bit hit and hope considering the size of their defenders. The positives we didn’t lose and although it shouldn’t be the case ,the players are more Match fit Buendia in particular seems to improve with each game.  The next few games are difficult which in a way maybe a blessing in disguise, if Mings and Konsa are out I’m sure we will continueto improve, and snatch a result against the odds.

DS brought Ollie on 15 minutes too late. Our attacking threat with a two up top looked a lot more dangerous. Brentford's defence looked a lot more vulnerable.

How anyone can think that AEG had a good game is beyond me. Slow, ball caught beneath his feet too much, and did I mention how slow he is. I wish I never had to see him start another game. I like his heart and desire to contribute, but he is nowhere near good enough.

Stop crying lads,we have sold our best player for £100m and we have a few injuries.Simple really.

How anyone can think he didn't is beyond me. I think we're quits.
