The easiest thing to do in football is walk onto the pitch, the second is pass the ball.
We can do the first with some style, but passing we are shocking.
Steer kept us in the game tonight.
We won so no complaints there.

Can we keep onomah what a crackin little player!
10 Aug 2017 00:36:34
villa dave i 100 per cent agree Bruces training must be awful or is it he brought awful players can't think which. Take blues they hammard there lower league team we play ours and we are hanging on for dear life some of the kids were great tho ohare wow boys better than any midfield we got. Also sambas legs completly gone might be ok to bang upfront if your desperte but he looks and plays like a old man.

Josh was class and stood out a mile,
O'hare was good as well and what I like about him is that he always wants the ball and works his socks off,
Some saying on here that he should be on bench Saturday I say put him in first 11,
Why did Bruce play Thor at left back?
Never plays there and had a stinker,
But main thing is we won so on to next round,
It was very bad conditions to play so it's wrong to be to critical if I'm honest,
10 Aug 2017 08:46:43
We win you moan we lose you moan thee most irritating person I have ever come across FACT!
10 Aug 2017 10:09:46
What are you on about villadaz!
What I said is what I saw,
Is that called a opinion?
We were lucky to get away with a win but we won and I'm happy with that,
So you agree with Bruce's selection of players and where he plays them fine!
The only thing I criticised was where he played Thor.
Everybody else played ok except samba who was showing his age,
My god mate lighten up!

Have I got you wrong,
Was your blog aimed at wtw or me!
It's it's wtw then I'm sorry about my reply.

Got to say Chester is one of the most consistent players at villa always gives a 7/ 10 performance,
The baggies fans were laughing at us for paying 8 million but for me he is value,
Perhaps he did not like the pulis method,
10 Aug 2017 11:11:00
Not at you bob the usual suspect fella.
10 Aug 2017 11:24:43
Villadaz thank God for that!
10 Aug 2017 13:57:14
I actually agree with wtw about samba, he looked as though he had lead boots on, I see the value in him though as he was key to us holding on during the onslaught of high balls, he won everything that came anywhere near him and that could be worth 5-10 points this season, if he sits in the bench and comes on the last 15-20 mins and heads everything that comes anywhere near out box in the air for that time he serves his purpose, not a 90 min man for me though, he is too suspect on the floor, slowed the game down with his passin across the back 4 where Chester and it move it quickly to spread the play and not to mention his tackle for the pen.

Don't care if we don't do nought in any of the cups, as long as we try i don't mind; promotion is the most important thing.
10 Aug 2017 09:19:54
ive been trying to explain this to my kid when he asked why i wasnt bothered by the cups. a cup run for fringe players and kids would be nice but sooner them games are out way and we ain't risking the main players.
10 Aug 2017 11:59:28
Im in agreement villa10 and strikes the cup runs don't matter much prefer we concentrate on the league. keep our main players for the main fight, which hopefully will see us go up.
09 Aug 2017 20:06:10
20 minutes in an the decision to sell Baker and have Samba as his replacement is looking even more stupid than when it first happened. Still 2-0, O'hare looks quality!
09 Aug 2017 20:25:52
I said in preseason he looks off the pace and out of position, although we can't take too much from today die to the weather he has been the worst player for us first half, Thor is struggling massively at lb too.
09 Aug 2017 20:53:49
Come on own up! Who put the lead in samba's boots? It looks like he is running through treacle too.
09 Aug 2017 21:09:04
Agree samba has no pace
Flip side is Josh Onomah looks some player.
10 Aug 2017 12:26:47
Was impressed with ohare and onumah also jed steer in difficult conditions. onumah looks a right handful.
09 Aug 2017 17:48:59
Anyone else find it weird that every five minutes Terry is back at Chelsea's training ground, using their physios and other things? Tonight we've got a game and our captains at another teams training ground taking pictures with their players. Strange.
09 Aug 2017 18:58:52
Yeh, I agree chris, he should be with the club he plays for on match days, providing all is well with his family etc.
He is club captain is he not.
09 Aug 2017 19:04:35
It is strange yes
The other day when answering a question about the new Chelsea captain he responded, "The ideal man to take OUR team forward"!
I think being a bit more tactful and discreet wouldn't go amiss!
09 Aug 2017 19:26:00
Exactly Dave, last season when Elphic was captain start of the season it seems he threw himself into the role; chose the walk out music (although it was dodgey), gave the big team talk before the games and really lead by example (shame his ability/ performances didn't match) . JT seems more bothered about his instagram pictures and his house in Chelsea that anything else.
10 Aug 2017 00:40:56
samba an terrys legs have gone so has whelans can't anybody see these guys are here for 1 last pay day. Gutted to have lost baker.
10 Aug 2017 14:00:52
Sambas legs have gone I agree but the other two are fine, we have enough youth in the squad and to sacrifice a little extra pace for their experience is a no brainier imo.
09 Aug 2017 14:25:48
See snoggrass is being mentioned now as a target?
What another defender you ask!
Mind you it probably is just paper talk again seeing that Bruce brought him before,
Are we about to win tonight or is the curse of sky tv means another defeat for villa?
{Ed001's Note - Snodgrass is a winger, not a defender.}
09 Aug 2017 15:04:37
It's my mistake sorry about that.
09 Aug 2017 16:48:45
A win for Villa tonight 0-2.
09 Aug 2017 18:15:39
I would have said 0-2 to villa but being on sky tv gives me the
The cold sweats again!
2 wins in 23 games?
Here's hoping we have learned a lesson in how to win,
