Bournemouth - 2 Aston Villa - 2 Post-Match

I’ll come back to - I assume he’s thinking we’ve got multiple games in a short period, including Citeh and Arsenal. He’s probably trying to rotate where best he can - all teams do it. Clearly it’s a risk, but so is running the players into the ground.

Chelsea and Man Utd keep spending heavily and are still shit. One is mid table fodder the other is 7th and on a minus goal difference. We need to stop worrying about what they may do, as they may well be even worse next season.

Fucking hell, seen the shirt pull again. What in the actual fuck? Useless ****** of a referee.

Yep, dreadful decision. Ref needs demoting for a couple of weeks.

While people keep saying we could have conceded 4 or 5, they don't say that we could have scored 4 or 5. And that they should probably have had a player sent off. It's not like it was some backs to the wall getting battered scenario.

Villa play a slow tempo game, we're not playing 100mph football. Every game we have moments where we stop the ball dead and no ones moving. Even when we were losing at forrest in injury time we weren't raciing about. I don't see playing the same spine every week a problem at this stage of the season.

[Tony Daleys Shorts]

A point gained, they’re a decent side on a run of good form, playing at home.

Not at our best but there is a hell of a lot to like about this side.

We’re always in games as we have the capacity to score bags of goals from many sources, I can’t remember the last time you could say that about a Villa side.

Massive couple of games coming up.

I think it's a feeling of overall frustration cos they are a poor side who we didn't dispatch. We never really had full control of the game

We only had 3 shots on target.

[Keeno]

A point away from home, against a side in form, leaving us 4th in the league is hardly an utter disaster.

Did you watch the game?

Shit though we may have been for long spells, we took a point, so he’s right, it wasn’t an utter disaster.

We are going to have blips and knock backs, we are an improving team a year into a journey. We are not the finished article, and the manager is not infallible.

The away form is not great but I’m more than happy to be patient with that given that we’ve just won thirteen consecutive home league games.

A bit of perspective needed, really. Annoying but hey ho.

Bang on.

[PeterWithesShin]

It's going to happen though. We won pretty comfortably away at Chelsea, Man City concded 4 and got a point, they also lost at Wolves where we got a point. Over 38 games it happens to everyone.

We hit the post. So scored 2, missed a sitter and hit the post. And had one chalked off. Not really a shocker was it.

[VillaTim]

We are a top 7 side , I think we will finish 6th unless there are step change signings in January (unlikely as it's a difficult window) .

The Mings injury has killed our defensive line

[PeterWithesShin]

A shocker was Bournemouth away last season, we could still be playing that and still not have scored. And that's with Bournemouth being off the pitch for most of the time since.

[Clampy]

We're not going to turn up every game, boss it and win. It's a strange mindset to have. Teams have offday's, it happens. Luckily, some fantastic goalkeeping and an outstanding header got us a point. I'm glad of it really because we wasn't great overall.
