[Ricardomeister2]

Swansea playing good stuff with us chasing shadows and giving the ball away cheaply.

Not looking good is it.

 

[Xchurch Villa]

Worst start from us for sometime

 

[Pride of Lions]

Backs against the wall so far.....

Hit these Jacks on the break lads!

 

[The Fear]

This is woeful. Hope we are lulling them into a false sense of security before starting.

 

[Xchurch Villa]

Finally realised the game has started

 

[hightrinity]

Unlucky mcginn

 

[JW1985]

Great save but sjm should score

 

[Ricardomeister2]

Great save from their keeper then Hutton messes up. Better from us.

 

[ironside]

That midfield is awful. We can't keep inviting them on to us like this.

 

[JW1985]

Whenever we're around their box we desperately miss grealish. He's always buzzing around and making himself available as an extra man.

 

[zaijianforth]

Our final ball is dreadful

 

[the r word]

According to sky Swansea are all over us

 

[david-avfc]

Is it a indication that these kids aren't as good as we may think. After all we don't see them every day .

It’s the same story year after year, the kids are always the next best thing... until they actually play (or get sold to a lower league club)

 

[McParlandTheGreat]

Just in. I take it that was our bad half

 

[Thomas Holte]

Unable to string 2 passes to each other, no energy in the midfield with Whelan slowing things down even more if that's posable.

Elmohamady playing like we all thought he would.......Well 99.8% of us anyway.

The only good thing is we finished the first half a lot, lot better than how we started it but that was an easy thing to do.

 

[Xchurch Villa]

So far, this game is reminding me of a typical Villa display under Bruce

 

[david-avfc]

Poor performance so far. Maybe they are tired after the last game - they should be busting a gut to make up for their disgusting display on the weekend but they all look like they wish they were on their sofas eating mince pies

 

[Ricardomeister2]

We are certainly not looking like promotion candidates so far.

 

[Melon Donkey]

I cannot stick Whelan and Hourihane passing the chuffing ball sideways to our no mark full backs when they have 20 yards to run into themselves Take the bull by the horns yourselves lads ffs.
