I give up. Not even fecking interested. I'll have a casual glance at the scores later.
How are new signings going to settle in and achieve consistency if they aren't even playing.
Let's hope Bree gets on quickly before leg of mutton has another top drawer lapse to match all his others. He collects mistakes like Victorians collected butterflies. I bet he's got his favourite ones pinned to a velvet backcloth above his fireplace.

in fairness there is only one change from the side at the weekend and i'm pretty sure thats because Bacuna is banned (?) you cry out for some stability yet complain when there is an enforced change... really??

And Gardner did ok when he came on Saturday, at a time hen we were under the cosh he lifted the team and i think was a big difference in us holding on for the final 5 minutes. (His crunching tackle really roused the crowd and the rest of the team). i still think we'll see a difference to him now he isn't stuck next to westwood...

Kinda agree. Hourihane should be playing. Gardner is, as he always has been and ever will be, utter shit. Worst AVFC midfielder in 30 years.

by deadbuzzardalive Tue Feb 28, 2017 8:04 pm

Hourihane might not be fully fit. They've hit the crossbar now.

We miss pen

Missed penalty, Kodjia aiming for the fire exit in North Stand

by Dions_Bald_Head Tue Feb 28, 2017 8:09 pm

At least both teams have hit the crossbar now. Villa v Bristol City ....... advance thin red line twenty paces - Page 2 4107169167

Yep it's my opinion so what?

We're not too convincing so far. It's not really a surprise. If we could fluke a win here it'd help us immensely.

by mefromhere Tue Feb 28, 2017 8:22 pm

Gardner started well ... Then injured. Sums up his career!

Let's hope Hourihane is less anonymous than his claret and blue time so far!

by VTID85 Tue Feb 28, 2017 8:23 pm

Hourihane on for Gardner (injury).

by deadbuzzardalive Tue Feb 28, 2017 8:28 pm

You could say we've fluked most of our wins since Bruce came in, including the game against Derby. At some point we've got to earn them by playing well. Do that and they'll come more often.

Get Grealish on

by Fpuppys Tue Feb 28, 2017 8:49 pm

Let's all hope it's a game of two half's, because the first half was all HOOF ball along with Kodjia hit and hope, Green the only player to sound like he's having a good game.

by deadbuzzardalive Tue Feb 28, 2017 8:58 pm

Goal Kodjia.

by Wookster Tue Feb 28, 2017 8:58 pm

Goooooal

Goooooooooooooaaaaaaaal.

Good job we scored, as Blackburn are beating Derby now.

by VTID85 Tue Feb 28, 2017 9:03 pm

Blackburn have just put one past Derby too.

Yipee, let's get a few more now.

Keep 'em coming...

by FoxyAV Tue Feb 28, 2017 9:06 pm

I want Green to score.

Gardner pressed the goalie on Saturday to force the mistake that Bacuna failed to put away, today he won us a penalty. That's a midfielder in the opposition penalty box twice in two games. Let's not write him off just yet, as has been said before we needed to see him with some decent players around him.
