Aston Villa v Stevenage - Match Thread.

[SoccerHQ]

Not a great half really.

Thankfully we're winning but it was a very close call and crowd know it.

Cash and Bailey looking like players we need to improve on.

[Risso]

We’re so pedestrian.

[PeterWithesShin]

Despite all our possession, Stevenage can probably feel a little hard done by.

[Bad English]

Bailey is fucking shite.

Quite right Martin! I do appreciate it when a benevolent and measured approach to player appraisal is taken.

[jwarry]

Pure comedy from Leon there

[Vegas]

Bailey’s only ever starting from a standing start, never at pace. Even against a lower league defence he hasn’t got enough to worry sky magic from there. That’sa bit depressing really.

I thought the same. They have found their level wirh Stevenage.

Bailey has been poor but seriously would he not be better on the other side

[levico]

Get the feeling that Unai is going to have a much better idea of who needs to be eased out after this match.

The woman on commnetary is desperate for them to get something here.

We weren't great but it is hard against what is effectively a back 8 and we're trying to force it a bit too much.

Sanson and Luiz have been our best players by a long way, Bailey has been terrible.

Ramsey will start v Leeds if he gets half an hour tonight.

Dosen't solve everything as if we bring Buendia back it's a bit one paced in final third but Leon isn't exactly doing much to stay in first 11 currently.

We will certainly be signing a final third player this month, let's hope they're proven rather than a project.

Thoroughly entertaining she reckons.... nah.

Leave Leon on to boost his confidence.
