Can anyone advise just how many times we gave the ball away today ?

I thought I'd seen a Rugby match.

I think you'll find Steve Bruce has eaten that

It was a lot.

They had us sussed in that first half. High, quick press gave us no time on the ball. Crowded the middle to keep Sidders and Stephens contained. No wonder we gave the ball away.

Best team I've seen this season, without a doubt.

Too many? They pressed well though, very will drilled and seemed to win most 50/50s.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Way too many passes went astray.

All I can say is thank CHRIST they started with Flabby Agbonlahore and Gardner, instead of Ayew and Grealish. Once those two came on, Villa absolutely killed us.

We would not have survived that had they been in the starting lineup. Baffling selection from Bruce, probably paid us too much respect.

As a side note can we please stop announcing the away attendance....it woke there supporters up

Agree. Our passing was awful.

I have no objection to mentioning it, just the way Reynolds sensationalised the 30k. It literally did wake them up.

I thought that as well, just like Borough last season they completely strangled our passing game

High pressing and greater numbers in midfield. They did a good job to cancel out our fast flowing passing football. They will be in the mix at the end of the season

Very true

What's with Stephens hitting so many blind passes into midfield?

Rose tinted spectacles at work there mate.

Thought they were good but we were far from at our best. Could have done with Hemed up front, like Baldock but he looker far too lightweight.

Spot on. It's not always as simple as 'we played badly' or 'we gave it away a lot' - the reason was Villa's pressing in numbers and organisation. Definately on top for 1st half of second half then seemed to let them have a go dominating. Tactical game.

I think Bong and Stephens were trying to outscore each other in that department
