Aston Villa vs West Ham Utd Match Thread

Honestly, I know our blip was horrible - but having our midfield back (minus Kamara sadly!) for this run in is exactly the lift we needed.

I was hoping the blip wasn't going to be as bad, but I did think the same for when they came back.

A Tammi-goal would be the perfect ending to today now

No club survives what we did losing all three starting midfield players within a couple of weeks. My only disappointment was that we still should have been better. Unai is so stuck to his structure that when such a rare thing happens he doesn’t show enough flexibility with what he has left to work with. Anyway a conversation for another time.

Tammy on for Ollie.

Well done Ollie.

[Somniloquism]

Any goal for us would be perfect. Gets us closer to Liverpool's GD. The other two are out of sight.

Bailey has done some good things since coming on but gives away ball too much

[Hampshire Villa]

Why have we got some bloke off the street playing in our number 31 shirt. We could have at least picked someone who had played football before

Mentioned on Radio 5 commentary that we've had the 3rd worst injury record in the Prem so far this season

[Chris_Jephcott]

In reply to Saddvillan’s post - If you think about that injury record, it’s actually amazing that we’re still where we are.

Ok, the gap with the teams below us has been eaten up. But we’re still here. I just wonder what we would have done had our injury record this season not been so atrocious..
