Thoughts on Mcgraths comments on Kodija? Said he is part of our failings and if he put in the effort he'd have double the goals he does, comparing him to Hogan in terms of work rate, talking about how he just jogged around after his goal and whenever he gets fouled he waits for the decision an if he doesn't get it he stays on the floor for 5 minutes. To a degree I think he's got a point, Hogan was a work horse today, Kodija always looks absolutely knackered.

Once again super Jack blows his chance, stupid petulant card in the first half . Give his place to Green, never let us down . This kid dosent slow everything down, has more tricks than Jack and more direct . He certainly deserves a place, more mature in every way .
As everyone else, upset with the result, but with chances made we should have won . This team is still new, needs time (that we haven't realy got ) to gel . I certainly think it won't do us any harm not to go up . we need to get a team gelling and playing as a team before we do go up .
To go up with out this we would be soon back down . People will say, but Dr T will spend more millions, then you have another team playing like they have never met before let's get a system that suits and playing like a team first . Onwards and Upwards Villaforever.

We still need an arse kicker in the defence. Sometimes we are adequate,
Other times juvenile defending.
Continually we are waiting for the ball and the opposition get into it and cause us problems.
We have the players but with our manager and assistant both defenders I wonder who is taking the coaching role.
Calderwood came from Brighton but to date it seems that he hasn't bought much with him.
Some good moves out from the back but little imagination shown. There GK pulled off some outstanding saves but we should have put a couple past him, mainly Elphick.
Hopefully SB will take a tip from his old boss and give me a blast on Monday.

Absolutely hate it when our players wait for the ball and then someone nips in and takes it, Westwood used to be the worse for that but they all do it. No excuse whatsoever for it, not even on a Sunday league pitch is that acceptable.

Our biggest problem today wasn't just the sending off in my opinion it was elphick! He tried to be too clever in our 18 yard box, why is he trying to chest a crops down in the centre of the box is beyond me, I'm no professional footballer but even I know if in doubt get it out!
Yes he got in the right places up the other end and in another day could of had 2 goals maybe even three but the pressure he needlessly put us under at the back was our shortcoming as forest got the goal before half time and completely changed the dynamics of the game. We don't need pretty football at the back, leave that to the guys up top where the big money has been spent.
Rant over, we played well in patches but need to play well for more than 5-10 mins if we want to make a late run for the playoffs. Next season if still in the championship I can see us being a real threat. Up the villa.

Poor result. Half decent performance. Kodjia will get used to playing alongside someone and will pass in future.
When you're down luck don't go your way either. Kodjia's shot fumbled by their keeper but bounces harmlessly over Hogan's head. Johnstone does the same but this time it falls straight to their man. Goal!
Not blamimg luck on all our woes but things like this make the difference.
UTV.

How many games has Steve Bruce got a lose before he sacked? I think he should be sacked from Aston Villa because he does not win football matches he loses almost every week! Sherwood back please.
04 Feb 2017 19:40:45
Give it a bloody rest.
04 Feb 2017 19:59:04
Pipe down walk he walk it's getting rediculous! Did you actually see the game?
Clinical chances and generally a good performance . Can Bruce be held responsible for keeper error and being down to 10 men!
Don't know about walk the walk , how about just jog on fella.
04 Feb 2017 20:18:24
Grealish to blame tonight. Brilliant pass for our goal. Completely brainless for 2nd yellow. Ultimately that was the difference.

Possibly the most predictable post of the evening (walkthewalk's that is)
04 Feb 2017 20:49:59
I bet it was typed before kick off, finger poised over the post button.

Forever on the wind up you are.
04 Feb 2017 19:33:32
Does anyone else wonder what goes on in training. midfield looks slow and expects to have more time on the ball. all areas of the field we waste the ball. Hogan looked good but had to work his socks of to create his own chances. Still believe the right manager and we have enough for a push. But come on boys show us something.
04 Feb 2017 20:32:33
I know what you mean. We do look ponderous at times (a lot of the time actually)
We only really get out of this lethargic state when we are on the counter attack.
04 Feb 2017 19:30:57
Jack grealish
Grow up, SB had to make huge changes because of your childish petulant behaviour in the first half, just like a child throwing teddy out the prank, you let us and yourself down again.
You take the shine of the makings of a good team. 😡😡😡😡😡.
04 Feb 2017 21:05:08
We'll put mate, lost because of him today, take that away and we looked good.
04 Feb 2017 19:30:13
inb4 the next round of complaining about Grealish.
04 Feb 2017 18:19:04
When will villa learn get an experienced keeper not a kid. This one at fault for two goals already now. Nice to see two up front. Kodja needs to hold it up better tho.
04 Feb 2017 19:28:24
Don't understand why we got rid of Gollini, he was better than this muppet.
04 Feb 2017 19:32:42
Kodjia needs to know when to release it, far to greedy, Hogan needs to be supplied, Kodjia did it once and Hogan nearly scored.
04 Feb 2017 08:30:57
Right then!
For me the season starts now, this is the time to assess Brucie and his team, he has made whole sale changes and that will take time, let's hope they click and gel sooner rather than later
Forget about what has gone on before or the last 5 or 6 results, it's from now where we hopefully start to see something great being built, let's look and discuss the tactics and team selection rather than go off on one and slaughter everyone if we lose
I don't think it's too late to make the playoffs but wil need a spectacular run of games to do, so for me its back Brucie to get it right and give him time to do so even if it is in the same league next season.
04 Feb 2017 16:30:06
Has to be a win tonight or we can forget about the playoffs
We have enough quality and firepower now. It's just a question of whether they can be gelled together as a functioning unit.
I feel that may be our undoing as far as promotion goes but you never know.
