Is that 3 out of 8 games this season where we’ve conceded 3 goals in a half? Can’t remember if that was the case against Chelsea, but it definitely is against Watford and Wolves. Absolutely unacceptable and I doubt our owners will tolerate this over a sustained period.

We really brought that capitulation on ourselves. Thought we were pretty good and definitely the better side for 70 mins.

Mings totally lost the plot, Tuanzebe had a shocker, Watkins looks a shadow off last seasons player, but there were also positives for 70 mins - McGinn was great, Buendia looked sharper, Luiz was doing ok, Cash was good and targett was good defensively, still shite at crossing.

But the sitting back, general panic, poor substitutes were really worrying. Weird stuff happens but that looked clueless, school boy stuff

Not happy, I rarely get this annoyed about a result. Last time was Burnley away in Jan.

But sometimes that's just how football is. We got the last minute penalty at their place last season and they got the last minute deflected free-kick this year. Fortunately I don't know any Wolves fans.

The fact this happened week in, week out under Lambert and so yet rarely under Smith tells you all you need to know. No cause for panic.

I would say they snatched the game away from us in a similar way we did to them at their place last season.
Sadly I was proved right earlier in the week when I told several people that I thought the odds of Wolves winning at 12/5 was a tempting price. I should have swallowed my Villa pride and backed against us.
If you back against us I'm sorry you're a shyster

I turned it off when Ramsey gave away that free kick. Sometimes you just know.

Whoever said at half-time that substitutions would win the game was correct.

Disappointed And deflated
Wolves were brighter then Villa took control and match was for taking cane out second half and in command.
McGinn was great today and scored when needed for 2 goal cushion.
I thought Ings took 1st goal well and he should have scored with opportunity through on goal.
Buendia was lively and promising.

Targett just fails tike and again in crossing positions
Cash has no left foot but did look way better than Targett again as an attacking wing back

Mings and Watkins were poor and below standard
Tuanzebe should have cleared the ball for the second.

Please can we leave this 3 at the back and 2 wing back system alone now as that was an almighty collapse and one that really deflated us very quickly from being on  great high and comfortable with some great football at times

Looks like the old Villa is alive and kicking after all.

Pivotal match in all probability. This season ain’t gonna be pretty.

Not according to Smith , he says the subs had no relevance on the goal ......

Very disappointing.
Thought Hause should have started ahead of Tuanzebe.
How many positions has Young played in this season? He hasn't looked good in any of them. Cover for Cash is laughable. Guilbert should have been retained.
Smith clearly made some errors in his substitutions, but those calling for him to go...well it's not even worth commenting on some of the b/s I've seen.
UTV!
