Aston Villa v QPR Match Thread - 1st Jan 2019, 3pm

Another missed opportunity with those above dropping points.

The defence still a concern with another 2 goals conceded. Couldn’t really fault Steer. Distribution was decent and made one smart save.
 
Another draw. Disappointing. But reckon it was the right team selection.

We're work in progress. DS needs January to get the new players bedded in. Then we'll see.

Still think we could sneak promotion. But we have to do it playing better than we are, otherwise not much point. Don't think we're playing badly but we seem to have lost a bit of edge. Not just because of Jack, but he does make a huge difference.
 
If we get promotion and thats a big IF, we are going to come strait back down. the players are not good enough, and we cant expect the owners to buy a complete new team. Time for some of the kids to have a chance.
 
Why does Hourihane completely stop to appeal while the game carries on around him. Our midfield is awful without JG in it.
 
Thought Elphick played well today but Hutton was terrible. Maybe he has played too many games recently, he is 34 years old. Certainly highlights how desperate we are for a left back
 
Hutton has no left foot , constantly having to check back to get ball onto right foot . About time we played a LB at LB

Hutton will continue to look off the pace because he is a right back not a left back, and he is giving it his best shot being played out of position.
Its up to the club to do something about it.
 
I sat in a restaurant in Sheffield city centre watching it on my mobile.
The wheels have certainly come off and need to be put back on sharpish.
Some of the players look knackered which isn’t surprising and a rest will do them good.
It just shows that despite the money paid out we are just not good enough when we have a couple of injuries to key players.
 
Oh well, another lacklustre performance from the boys in Claret and Blue.
Another 2 points thrown away to a side that time wasted cheated and did next to fuck all attacking wise .
No Jack no win , need some life in midfield If Barney Hourihane and Whelan are really the best we have left standing we are in for more dire performances
 
Another poor result and playoffs are slipping away if we don't get our act together. If it wasn't for Tammy we could be looking at a relegation battle. Will he be recalled? DS needs to freshen it up a bit.
