Shack Attack 0 Posted November 5, 2011 Great start but you can''t help feeling we''re going to concede again unless we change something. Agbonlahor is getting one on one with our defenders far too often for my liking and we could really do with an extra midfielder to double up on him. Very concerned that we might end up with ten men if we keep going one on one against him. Great hit by Pilkington. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Farkes The Herald Angels 0 Posted November 5, 2011 Agbonlahor is roasting Naughton. Barnett looks a bit nervy, but yet seems to have headed every ball that''s come his way. Ruddy made great block from Bent. Super Pilks goal. Thought Martin (?) could have stopped Agbonlahor''s cross before it came across to Bent. Holt started brightly but seems to have faded out of the game.... Strange half all-in-all, but still cause for some optimism. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadstairsR 0 Posted November 5, 2011 If we don''t tighten up defensively, eg. Fox for Bennett, then we will concede again and probably lose. You cnnot just rel upon out-scoring other sides in the Premiership. Vill''s defense may seem a bit shaky, but they defend in numbers and they are a Premiership defense after all. If the score remains the same after 75 minutes, please go a bit more defensive PL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What a perfectly dreadful piece of defending, especially with the chance to put the ball out of play. Now it''s got to be attack. Where''s Simeon? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lincs CR 0 Posted November 5, 2011 I''ve never understood why we back pass to Ruddy so often, it must have happened 15+ times every match this season and it results in Ruddy lumping it upfield. I wish our defenders would just eliminate all threat of what just happened and just lump it long themselves! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shack Attack 0 Posted November 5, 2011 Apparently Villa have dropped nine points this season from winning positions [^o)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Farkes The Herald Angels 0 Posted November 5, 2011 having seen the replay 3 or 4 times the back pass was truly awful, but Ruddy really made a half-hearted kick....it looked like he thought the ball was his and took his eye off it..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canary_on_the Trent 0 Posted November 5, 2011 I hate saying it but Lambert has got his team selection completely wrong.How can you go to a side with so much pace and leave yourself so vulnerable on the break? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shack Attack 0 Posted November 5, 2011 Fox on for Bennett. Too late really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pyro Pete 1,897 Posted November 5, 2011 That was inevitable. Woeful indecisive defending again. What was Martin doing? Clear the ball for heaven''s sake! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gingerpele 0 Posted November 5, 2011 Well doesn''t seem like they will drop any points today.Doesn''t sound like we have done anything this second half. Maybe (and I hate to say this) this is a start of a bad run? Not a good result against bottom of the league side last week, unless something drastic happens a loss today, playing Arsenal in two weeks. Not giving up hope completely yet, but certainly not confidant now :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pyro Pete 1,897 Posted November 5, 2011 Great fighting spirit, as ever.Lambert showed a bit too much faith in a central midfield pairing that left the back line far too exposed. Apart from Tierney, the defence were a bundle of nerves when put under pressure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syteanric 1 Posted November 5, 2011 Midfield is where we are lacking.. Johnsons a good player but needs to actually get back and help out rather than stand on the half way line and Point!there were too many gaps because the center backs had to do a central midfielders job! we need Crofts back in there i think.
