Aston Villa v Bologna Post-Match Thread

[Nunkin1965]

Funny when you come away from a game and have a take on what you've seen.

It was the ideal game for me against an unspectacular but organised and disciplined opponent.

A team totally out of sorts with players searching for form and confidence? Thats Aston Villa right now.
Bologna at home couldn't have come at a better time for me because I'm imagining what might have been if we'd gone straight into the Fulham game without last nights workout.

Morgan Rogers issues did remind me of when Merse first played for us and just maybe, because he was involved so much, with so much going wrong,  he hopefully can kick on from this. It didn't work out for him but being more involved than the whole of the season so far might be a positive.
The performance took me back to the Sir Graham Derby home game all those years ago (Think Platty might have scored, but we were dire) when beforehand we couldn't buy a win and we got a streaky one against the Rams and we were flying from then onwards.

I'm crossing everything that history will repeat itself after last night because it happens that way sometimes.

UTV.

That's the thing ultimately. Emery keeps playing him for a reason and one day soon it'll just click for him and he'll have a preposterously good performance.

Didn't Derby hit the bar three times in that one.  Seem to remember Paul Goddard looking well miffed.

Goddard and Dean Saunders up front missed a hatful of good chances between them.

As an aside, always liked Paul Goddard and thought he was an underrated player.

That was my first match! I don't remember much of it though as a five year old.

Surprised by the attendance, 30,909, looked and sounded more than that?

35,578

Hi Crown Hill, where did you find this figure, please?

Edit: just saw above - Matt Maher, thanks!

Yea the year before, the first year after we cane back up, they beat us 2-1at Villa Park and Saunders and Goddard were excellent. Goddard was a good player.
