What is supposed to do when O’Nien is touch-tight with Watkins before the cross comes-in?

 

[Antidotes]

O'Nien was in the right spot for the 2nd goal then followed Watkins out for a yard and then he broke the good line we had as a back 4. If he stays that ball doesn't get to Watkins

 

[SuperKevsLeftBoot]

People blaming 09 for the second

ONien ball watching first, no where near 2nd. Would score an OG if he was close.

Grt ballard on.

Otherwise decent performance from the team but 2 switch offs has cost us

Nuts. The ball should never have came over.LON had no chance that much pace on the cross and 2 yes out.

 

[Kenna]

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.

Could have at least started then came off in the second half.

 

[ZeeZee]

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

It’s great movement from an excellent forward

 

[mackemdr]

Watch the first goal please. Onien was shocking

Enzo's fault all day I'm afraid

Ball watches and doesn't track the runner

 

[nestegg]

I missed the kick off, got online at 3 minutes, answered the door on 8 minutes and went to the loo on 35 minutes, what were the goals like?

All shite . just like what you went to the bog for

 

[Hendon hotspurs]

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

I agree,although you need to be closer to Watkins

 

[houst69]

A midfield of McGeouch, Scowen and Dobson

Just given me nightmares

 

[10 Gary Rowells]

Good game. We have not got Brobbey into the game. The problem is DIarra. I wonder if he's just lacking self confidence. He releases the ball too early and the passes rarely get to where he intends. Yes, he did very well for the goal but overall I feel we'd get Brobbey into the game more with Le Fee in the number 10. The other concern for me is Reinildo. I know he's a fan favourite but he lacks pace and strength. He's nowhere near as good as Mukiele on the other side. But, overall we've been good and Riggy is showing what an outstanding prospect he is.

What about the first

Doesn't help that Rigg just let's Maatsen run off him. More his fault than O'Niens.

 

[jaxaxe]

As far as units go, Brobbey has the edge on those.

Lad is outnumbered though.

Against any two of them I would fancy him. Shows the need for a plan B.

People blaming 09 for the second

It was Rigg fault but it was still poor by O9 mind

 

[League Wan]

Midfield not tracking runners and it's criminally poor marking on Watlins tbf, but Villa are very well drilled.

Yep two poor goals for us, easy for us to say like, just stop the cross or follow the runners

 

[Sir dave]

Everyone loves 09 but we have to recognise he’s not up to it in the Prem.

You are going to upset all the 09 fans he can’t do no wrong

 

[Durham-Mackem41-Rem]

Been the better side but it's a problem how we don't concentrate on stopping balls into the box from wide.

Been punished for 2 bad lapses.

 

[Hendon hotspurs]

Enzo's fault all day I'm afraid

Ball watches and doesn't track the runner

Wow! Onien is goalside with Watkins then just let's him run off him man

 

[Mowgli]

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.

Villa fans have been slating Watkins this season. Must think its Christmas today
