RedRock Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 Lack of quality ALERT. Hopefully, just bereft of confidence. If not, we have backwards momentum. Worrying, either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BITW Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 Take the point there pretty poor game all round. Taylor can feel hard done by to go off over Weimann IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underhanded Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 I like Eliasson, feel he needs to be starting consistently going forward and we'll see him being far more involved in the goals. A really frustrating element of our game that I'm noticing. We never take advantage of 'step in' interceptions. We often step in quite well, yet nearly always try to first time long ball, or simply clear our lines. I'm not talking when we are.under the cosh, yet turnovers of possession where we need to be encouraging our defensive players to step out with it, take a few strides, and lay it off. Webster guilty on a few occasions tonight. Moments like that often lead to big spaces in the final third for us to exploit, yet were really not taking advantage. All in all, not a bad point, need three points next game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweeneys Penalties Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 watched via sky.. shocking commentator who was VERY Villa biased. Secondly, it was a battling performance from both sides, and a draw was a fair result. I was content with a draw tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder they want Bruce gone; he won't last much longer if that's their offerings. The reaction to Tammy being subbed said it all. They really don't like him, do they?

It was not pretty, and we played pretty poorly really, and we still came came away with a point. More of a worry is we have looked bang average two games in a row now.

What’s happened to getting the ball down and passing the bloody thing with intent. Agree PB lots of poor decisions and indifferent performances, we certainly didn’t look like scoring or even threatening when going forward. Villa were poor too. So in short not a great game and a draw was probably the right outcome. It’s really weird how we can never know what kind of performance we are going to see from our team.

Garland-sweden Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 Not a great game but one point is ok when we not play good. Sorry they have their goal late in first half. We were in trouble in the beggining of second half and I was worried. One point and now move on to a win. COYR!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s happened to getting the ball down and passing the bloody thing with intent. Probably because their midfield were similar to ours, trying to battle for every ball rather than look for a pass. Both teams had spells of dominance but considering the Calibre of player we were up against there wasn’t much to choose between both teams and s draw was about right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dullmoan Tone Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 Two worrying things - Weimann isn't having the same impact (I would have subbed him not Taylor) and Eliasson looks really inconsistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dastardly and Muttley Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 Just finished watching the game on the red button - living away from Bristol and having young kids, I was on a delay. Really not sure what to make of that game, very odd. Solid, but no creative spark. The sort of game I think Diedhiou should have started, even though he did nothing once coming on. Unusually poor performances from Eliasson and O’Dowda, contributing to our lack of creativity. Deflected goal for us, cheap free kick goal for them. Probably fair to call it a draw, would have ended goalless on many other days. Worryingly for me, the last two games we seem to have started very strongly, but have no “second wave” if we fail to score straight away. We definitely want to start strongly but don’t seem to know what to do if the goal doesn’t come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laner Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 Just read Steve Bruce's post match comments on BBC. Complain, complain, complain. I dislike him and Villa even more now. So hope they don't get promoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Army 75 Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 I enjoyed the game. Thought we done well and deserved the 3 points. Could be worse. Could be a club who are paying their players pathetic amounts of money. And playing with there clubs future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is Weimann if he kept up his scoring rate would notch 20+ Eliassson it's his first real bat at this level. Inconsistent or not his crossing ability is there to see, would be in every home game for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midred Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 Steve Bruce has the world against him doesn't he, in his own mind! According to him after the match, they had some terrible decisions against them, Tammy's goal should have been given, our goal was soft and our only real effort on target, they should have had a penalty. Nothing about how his overpaid team of stars are under performing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppyDAZE Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 I'm wondering, and also hoping that LJ will take the players for a little trip before the next game. A nice little trip up to the back of the stand to show each and every one of them where row Z is would come in handy. Play your football, yes.. but ffs where is the brains when it's seconds from HT. No, Lee... i said it last time and I say it again, don't take the responsibility for it, stop them f ing well doing it. Oportunity wasted tonight, Villa, I see why they been losing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brann-red Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 Just read the bbc report . 8 paragraphs of info - one relating to city out of all of them . Shocking reporting- talks about Steve Bruce / talks about villa form then manages to inform the readers that city did score then goes straight back to villa again . Clearly I’m naive in expecting a more balanced view . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
