+++Villa v SAFC Sky Sports Premier League ko 14.00+++

[MonkeyLove]

Not a terrible performance but we are letting them dictate the tempo. No where near the intensity we can play at.

Mukiele was screaming at O’Nien for not passing it quicker

Alderete gets a free pass

I don’t see how that’s on Alderete. Rigg and 09 for me. Alderte had front post covered. Rigg lost the runner and 09 lost his man in the centre.

Apparently when a team play 1 striker and the opposition play 2 centre halfs only one of those centre halfs is to blame if the one striker scores

Yeah, I'd rather play Ballard but he hasn't played for over month so is probably only ready for a cameo. Obviously the experts on here know for a fact he could have played 90 minutes. Maybe they should have told Regis.

 

[Hendon hotspurs]

Luke is a Premier League defender.
He won't be the first PL defender to be owned by top end of the table opponents.

He's been decent for us, and RLB clearly rates him.

Please see their first goal. Just let Watkins run off him he was goal side of him 2 seconds before it went in. Shocking defendind

 

[dancingradio]

They might tire in 2nd half

 

[Jasper]

Its killing us. Even Nordi is raging at him. He's out of his depth today

Surprised he had time to rage at him in between constantly chucking himself about on the floor like he does every week.

 

[Lo Ursem]

I love 09 but agree with this.

Looking at it Villa's first goal again, with the benefit of playback, I thought O9 was unfortunate. He lost his footing at the vital moment. O9 has not been a liability.

 

[safcyank]

All in all, great game from both sides. Le Fee, Rigg, and O'nien have been obvious weak links defensively (expected from later two, not sure what's up with Le Fee, seems a little subdued)

Monumental view

Mad frog from Hendon

 

[Rocky77]

Watkins lost Onien in the box..just a little shove while Onien is just attracted to the ball.... wouldn't have pushed Ballard off so easily

Aye, Watkins is quality.

 

[InsomniacAttack]

Remember when we were linked with McGinn when he was leaving Hibs and ended up with Dylan McGeouch instead

A midfield of McGeouch, Scowen and Dobson

Remember when we were linked with McGinn when he was leaving Hibs and ended up with Dylan McGeouch instead

I remember when boro injured him in the pre season friendly and I was gutted because I'd been told he was class from lads who watch Hibs

 

[Julio Mackemo]

First goal 09 fault, second Rigg's fault... imho

 

[NZMackem92]

Need to bring Ballard on.

We are not dealing with the aerial threat at all.

Watch the first goal please. Onien was shocking

09 is fine but i think we miss ballard at set pieces and corners , onien offers nowt in them situations

 

[James]

The seond was just a bloody good goal. If anything Nordi and Rigg were at fault for not stopping the cross nor the runner.

Rigg was to blame for the second. Not alert enough to track his runner and it left them with a simple cross into Watkins who couldn't miss. Frustrating to watch.

Still in this game though. We can get a result.

 

[Perryqhill]

He’s targeting him without a doubt. Big Omar fuck that, I’ll go on this lad here no issue and see how much space I get

Absolutely. He's pulling off onto him knowing it's easier and he has the beating of him. It's obvious stuff.

Twice he doesn't get anywhere near the main threat and he's the closest man.

 

[Mowgli]

He's done ok this season when called upon, Watkins gives far better players than O'Nien problems

Id agree. But we shouldn't be relying on him with 2 far better players on the bench.

 

[abbs]

Still in this but we're wide open down the wings
