Please, please, please let us leave with three points.

Missed yellow card and missed red card in a matter of minutes, no surprise at Villa Park I suppose

 

[Insel affe]

Need to hold on for another 45, possibly get them on the break again.
Very impressed

Aston Villa vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

There are some exceptional performances out there from us today.

No surprise with Lamptey, but Welbeck has been exceptional have to say. And Matty has played the best I’ve seen him in a long time. Ditto Gross who has been spot on with nearly every pass.

Real shame we couldn’t get that 2nd goal.

What cracking game #MOTDonlastagain

 

[Weststander]

Very impressive so far, Dunk and Webster unnecessarily committing themselves/poor positioning the main weakness.

Targett and McGinn are shocking down their left.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Bloody hell. What a half. Frenetic, seat of the pants and wildly entertaining.

If it continues in the same vein in the second half there will surely be a deluge of goals. Please, please, at the end of it all can we have scored at least one more than Villa.

Phew - exhausting. Did VAR even check the elbow?? Didn't show on the screen.

This will be typical Potterball and we'll probably lose 2-1. March looks the weak link, always slowing things down and looks to have no confidence to cross or dribble into the box.

Every one of March's crosses have been excellent today.

In defence of March, he’s repeatedly receiving the ball at his feet when there’s space ahead of him it could be played into. Any player is going to have more chance of beating the last man if they’re already running when receiving the ball.

So good to see him making saves and coping under pressure.

Great performance and so far the luck has been on our side.

 

[The Fits]

Gross is great with the ball but we do look exposed.

It was very, very late. If it had been us we'd be down to 10 now.

March put in at least one brilliant cross, with half a dozen sublime cross field passes to Lamptey right on the money, in attacks that tore them apart.

 

[Mackenzie]

Kavanagh should have flagged up that elbow, deliberate and to the face. Red card.

 

[Change at Barnham]

Next goal wins it.

At his feet and chest high. He is being played into trouble. It’s noticeable that he is also doing a lot of defending

Have to improve that midfield - maybe even sacrifice a striker. Not getting out quick enough and not picking up the second balls.

 

[Swansman]

Wouldnt mind some sexy 3-6-1 at some point early in second half with Maupay out (or Welbeck if he cant do 90 min) and preferably Alzate in.
