Go Ahead Eagles v Aston Villa Match Thread

[TopDeck113]

Another kit to be quickly labelled "unlucky".

The thing is, they are a limited team who didn't play well. How the fuck have we lost that.

I think complacency played a big part tonight. We were so on top and they were so poor, the players became blasé. The play was far too pedestrian in the 2nd half for the most part. No idea why Sancho went off, but Guessand stayed on.

If you don’t play your strongest team, it always sends a message

Complacency, arrogance, lack of effort, take your pick.

That was a masterclass in shite finishing. Fcuking hopeless.

The message being "we don't want to plummet down the league in February because the squad are all knackered".

Absolutely the right game to be resting players. It'll in all likelihood mean fuck all come the end of the group phase.

Only to the fans who spent money going to the game

Try telling that to those making their way back to digs in Deventer in shite weather conditions.

Elliot again not getting any minutes is infuriating.
Yeah yeah I know it’s the Unai way, certain new signings don’t get a sniff for a few months but f me if there was ever a game for him to get some minutes it was tonight.

Watched bits of it at work, can’t be arsed to watch the full game now home.

[VancouverLion]

So not Lille then.

Thought on Watkins 1 in 12?
