Aston Villa v Newcastle Post-Match Thread

[Demitri_C]

No one had a good game other than Bizot. There are a mixture of players who had ok and poor games outside of him.

I would argue that kamara had a good game. Some of his defensive  work especially  that second half was excellent. He did some crucial interceptions.

Ollie was bad he kept losing the ball and running into no mans land

Mings Bizot Cash Kamara , all had very good games , especially once down to 10.
The stats on Mings and positive results / goals against column are unreal , hence Emery now playing him .

They had decent games against a team with no focal point. That’s not a criticism really, but they all made pretty poor mistakes/errors in the game too.

Oh yeah, getting in was a doddle too which was a pleasant surprise.

Yes it was. I was a bit worried about the attendance at first as the queues for the North Stand were virtually non-existent when we got there.

Speaking of which the attendance yesterday was 40k. Where were the empty seats and what is the capacity now? We were told that there was going to be some realignment of the seats taking the capacity to around 44k.

It was 42,526. Highest last season 42,824 against Celtic so there must have been some empty seats somewhere.

It’s 43,200-ish this season. I could see some dotted about in the Trinity, just to the right (as you look at it from the pitch) of the claret corporate seats in the middle tier. I imagine they’re very expensive.
