Aston Villa vs West Ham post-match thread

[jwarry]

Fair enough Jon, but I entered the conversation

Bye then.

If you are a moderator that is not good moderation

Don't call out the mods asking for a ban = don't get banned.

I’m sorry I don’t understand. I wasn’t calling out anybody I was just questioning how a moderator - and by the way I have no idea if he is a moderator - can just say bye then.  Doesn’t seem right to me

Clearly I am a moderator. Villaboy_23 was warned in public and via PM, he persisted. He asked for a ban. He got a ban. I was merely being polite and wishing him on his way.

Fair enough Jon but I entered the conversation after he posted what I thought was a fair criticism of the negative posters on here.  Surely we are entitled to disagree with them?

Of course you can disagree with them and people all over this forum disagree with each other on all manner of topics. Throwing out comments about cliques and unsubstantiated insinuations that posters are joyous about defeats is just posting for effect, trolling or just plain antagonistic.

An absolute disastrous decision to put Digne at centre half. We need to stop taking Watkins off, we lose all our attacking prowess without him. Subs were poor throughout and we looked like a ticking time bomb defensively.

Our need for a centre half is now at emergency levels and we’ve left ourselves in a terrible position.

[PaulWinch again]

Yeah it’s a good point, Ollie was involved in pretty much everything we did well today.

[Clampy]

I thought the two things that undid us was Mings going off and Ramsey and Rogers both going off at the same time. Should have seen West Ham off in the 15-20 minute spell we had in the first half. Kamara was tremendous. Glad of a point in the end to be honest.

[VillaTim]

We seem to lose a lot of structure up top without him . His work off the ball is pretty full on and often goes unnoticed until he isn't there doing it.

[PaulWinch again]

Agree his work off the ball, working the centre backs, creating space etc is massively important to us.

One thing I thought today - that I have many times before - is rogers would be world class if he knew when to make the pass / cross / shot

Really? Don’t we all post for effect? Or what is the point of posting? I’m sure I’m boring every one now so I will refrain but I will not stop being the eternal optimist and calling out the doom merchants - unless you ban me of course…

He's getting there

[The Edge]

When other team players press Villa they are like greyhounds on steroids, when we do it we are like cuddly little puddles

Don't talk wet.

[PeterWithesShin]

I'm hoping we can reach 40 points and stay up.

The sheer amount of games we need to get through has precipitated this lack of energy.

Correct decision.
