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

[Boroseagull]

Good game to watch and the Albion fans loud and proud as usual.

 

[AK74]

These are a good point.

 

[brighton_tom]

Dunk was excellent today I thought.

Yep

 

[trueblue]

Well played. Good point. We look so much better when we let the ball do some of the work and get the passing going rather than running, running, running. More of that please.

Struck me too that it was a reprise of the early season scenario (enforced back then) where we had a better team on the field at the end than the beginning.

 

[Arkwright]

Well couldn't find a TV to watch the game in Avignon, so I put themself through the positive vibes on NSC, great entertainment.
Think I'll stick to going to the games, it's much safer.
Great away point, looked like two well worked goals.

 

[birthofanorange]

Very good away point, there, and I would have taken that prior to the match.
Given that we looked pretty much done and dusted at 2 - 1 down, we showed some real grit to get back into it.
Could have easily gone either way at the end.
Yep, a good point.

Why no MOTD tonight? Would surely have been better to have it tonight than yesterday to include action from both days.

 

[Bodian]

Great point. They always seem to play with intensity v us and Watkins seems to have his best game of the season v us. Lots to work on though and very open and nothing up front. But we’ll take it for sure.

When that last corner fell to Watkins I thought we'd had it. Unusual for him to not even be on target.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Excellent point, didn’t expect anything.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Great point.

 

[London Irish]

Good point. Just hope nobody sings about the champions league

 

[LamieRobertson]

That was entertaining.

Ok result, happy with that.

Terrible football though. Both teams should send a thank you message to FIFA for rewarding a point for this.

Hmmmm

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Terrific performance from Tariq. So pleased he got the goal as well

He should be playing right? We need his goals. Get him in the right wing position

 

[Blues Guitarist]

Villa are 5th in the Champions League, so getting a point at Villa Park is good going. Especially as our manager is crap and the players aren't trying.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

When that last corner fell to Watkins I thought we'd had it. Unusual for him to not even be on target.

Dunno, I felt confident. He’s a good forward but does miss a lot of chances.

 

[Eeyore]

These are a good result.

Never, never ceases to bewilder me how folk slate the team selection etc before a ball is kicked. Then look reet prunes at the end. The Wolves 6-0 was the best example we have.

Anyroad, half way through the campaign and 10th in the table. Can't complain.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Another two points dropped against a shit team.
Overly critical? Yes, villa are shit, always have been shit with a shit bunch of players and a shit manager....in a shit part of the world

This was more a pop at the fact I REALLY don't like villa, their tactics and their greasy haired **** of a manager. But, if we take the lead, then it's two points dropped when we don't hold the lead

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Why no MOTD tonight? Would surely have been better to have it tonight than yesterday to include action from both days.

Because Liverpool played yesterday

 

[Flounce]

Clown of a manager, get some subs on before we go 3-1 down

Stand by this, he should have made the subs at half time. Enciso and Ayari were so lightweight. We got away with that today, although we could have won.

As an aside I’d like to see FH much more animated on the touchline rather than the confused rabbit in the headlights he looks

 

[Alex BH]

Terrible night everyone. Brighton fail to win again and my DAB radio is broken.
