The Aston Villa v Bristol City Match Day Thread 26


Recommended Posts

Villa deserve that. Other than a neat first ten minutes been all one way really. Albert ripping us a new one, Grealish pulling strings and we are running on empty. Still disappointed given our CBs that both their goals have effectively come from headers. Hopefully we can stay third!

Seriously, for Watford as many kids as poss and only about 3 on the bench. The rest are injured. Tough

Totally agree.

Steele

Vyner Flint Magnússon Kelly

Eliasson Bakinson Andrews* Leko (If he's still here)

Garita Lemonheigh-Evans

 

 

*= Is Andrews with us now?

To keep things in perspective, assuming we lose today, we’re two points off the automatic places and five clear in the play offs.

Given the number of games we have played recently, and the number of injuries we are contending with, I would say that’s not actually a bad outcome - even if it is partly due to Cardiff’s implosion and the inconsistency of other teams.

Completely agree. Some perspective needed even though it's a frustrating few days.

HT 2-0. We made better start in first 20 mins, has a couple of really promising situations that first Bryan and then Pato never made the most of. 1st Goal changed everything, since then Villa well on top and could easily have gone in 3-0 up.

Last couple of mins of half Flint was pushed up top and imagine that's what we will do second half. Bryan hardly getting in the game, might be worth putting him LB, take Mags off and try Leko/Eliasson as not much to lose now.

Grealish (who I can't stand) is being given way too much time on the ball, it was his pass then picked out Adomah for their first. We have to get someone tighter to him.

Well that wasnt very nice at all. Happy it's half time. Way too much hoofing up field and with no target man, ball is coming straight back down the field. How many chances did Villa have in that last 10mins? Magnússon and Joe Bryan: stay true to yourselves and the way you've been playing to get you to where you are.

As for Villa, they are on fire. We need a reaction early second half; if not, could be ugly.

How was Magnússon ever going to be good against Adomah. He is simply not good enough at this level.

Wright is marking Adomah. Magnússon is on the otherside up against Snodgrass.

 

All in all we've been poor after the first five minutes. Lots of tired legs. I don't see Villa easing off on us and I don't see much by way of options to improve us from the bench.

We are looking pretty poor, midfield is missing so playing long balls upto... well Bobby. Adomah is just stood on the side line unmarked receiving easy balls and then putting in some good crosses. When we do have possession we pass straight to a Villa player even when under no pressure. We are just being passed around with little effort, to be honest Villa are making this look very easy.

Hopefully a better 2nd half, but you look at our bench and just wonder what we can do at the moment to change up. Anyway, lets hope we come out fighting, we know we can pull games back, just hope this is one of them.

Can someone who’s watching confirm if it’s Wright v Adomah or Mags.  Radio says it’s Wright, yet posters on here saying Mags v Adomah is getting murdered. Confused

Wright up against Albert. Mags up against Snodgrass. Mags has made several mistakes but did get in goal saving challenge on Snodgrass to prevent 3-0.
