Brentford vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

Konsa, so much better next to Mings. 

[Brend'Watkins]

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

[dorsetvillian]

That's how to defend a lead away from home. You could tell how much that clean sheet meant.

[TelfordVilla]

Rashford not exactly busting a gut to shine is he. Bailey was garbage as usual. Rogers needs a fortnight in dubai.

[The Edge]

A filthy dirty away from home win. We struggled to put together three consecutive passes in last 30 mins and our goal led a charmed life at times. Right back in the mix for top 5 now. I thought Digne did very well on Mbuemo, Disasi was very strong in the tackle, Mings very solid again. Don't think we got much off the bench today though. Tielemans and Rogers running on fumes too and should have been replaced long before the end. Poor old Malen looked really pissed off.

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.

Blimey Bronte you've given some rational player ratings there. Are you ok mate? 

[VillaTim]

That's a game we'd comfortably lose without the Mings / Konsa combination of old commanding that central defence. Throwback to how we were  In Emerys first 6 months .

Clean sheet will be huge to the back 4 and Olsen.  Really was backs to the wall at times.  Disasi brilliant.  Still too many poor performers tonight though.  Rogers, Ramsey and Bailey especially.

Honestly, maybe just enjoy the win? Bloody H&V never fails to disappoint after an away win that we didn't expect.

[JUAN PABLO]

delighted for Olsen.

Disasi MOM . looks like he loves it here and the players like him.

Mings played well and so did Youri , just need to keep the ball better when we attack , at times its great but alot of the times it broke down .

nicee to see Ollie get another , should have scored again .

Malen must still have an injury , was really expecting a start , yet he starts Leon who was absolutely awful , that free kick was embarrassing.Sick of hearing now he has scored this will lift him but it never does .

A hard fought 3 pts , keeps the dream alive again , a clean sheet and the defence worked hard , just the front line needs to do a  little more and pick the right pass .

Happy tonight .

Nice to see you seek the positives from an important win.

[HK Villan]

Disasi: has been good in every game and immense today.  Sign him up.

[ctvillafan]

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

He was absolutely hammering Rashford when we signed him. Pure agenda. Ignore.

[The Edge]

Ended up having to listen to that on the radio. Bloody hell it's nailbiting stuff. Every time the ball went into our box the commentator got all excited and I thought they were about to score. Brilliant win. Hopefully some nice person can post the highlights on here asap.

[ROBBO]

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.

[UK Redsox]

Only watched the last few minutes.

That Nathan Collins tackle should have been a Red
