Brentford vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Astnor]

Good, gritty win.  Staying realistic with Newcastle, Bournemouth and Chelsea with 2 games in hand.  Will be a long battle for even conference league.

Everything can happen this time of season ; remember Spurs and us battling it out last season - they where unable to get points and we didnt get many either still we got 4th.

[Baldy]

Fantastic defensive display. Unai banked on a clean sheet and knew we would nick at least one.

Need Onana back with Kamara so Youri can concentrate on running the midfield and keeping possession. Better to run the clock down that way instead of backs to the wall.

Well done lads. Onwards and upwards.

[JUAN PABLO]

Olsen 7, Disasi 8, Konsa 6, Mings 8, Digne 8, McGinn 6 (Kamara 5), Tielemans 6, Bailey 4 (Cash 5), Ramsey 7 (Rashford 5), Rogers 5, Watkins 7.

actually agree with you for once BB  thou youri gets another point and half.

We still have to play some of those teams too.  Games in hand apart, it's in our own hands.

We have to play alot of the teams around us

Bournemouth  forest Newcastle city. Its all our hands

Rashford didn’t do much when he came on. Kamara produced one bit of filth to entertain everyone.

He didn't do much else (,Kamara), we really needed someone to get their foot on the ball but game bypassed him really.

Just watched Tyrone being interviewed
What a class act
See how the players pushed Olsen towards the supporter's  at the. End

[VillaTim]

Great three points but in the first half we attacked them and they hardly had a look in, the second half we defended the lead gave them most of the possession and looked ragged at times. Why do we do this? Disasi MOM, Rashford not sure about him, Mings a captains game.

Pure fatigue I think. They were running on fumes 2nd half.

Unai heaping praise on Olsen in the post match interview, deserves it after today's performance.

[ctvillafan]

Yes, if we make top 5 with our run-in, we’ll have surely deserved it. UTV

[Legion]

3 points. Clean sheet. Bloody brilliant.

Needed that three points before our next league game 2nd April.

[Goldenballs]

Missed the majority of the second half but saw Olsen skin their player with a little drag back, nearly shat myself.

Fair play to him, seems a likeable bloke.

No one is really putting any sort of consistent run together (except Brighton).  If we can string 3 or 4 wins together, then the it could look very different.  It's a big ask, but with players returning to fitness, I think we're more than capable.

Next two are Brighton and Forest, both with their own realistic European ambitions.  Need to take at least 4 points from those and then we'll see.  Fail to win either game, and it's probably well out of our hands.
