Luton Town Vs the Mighty Aston Villa Match Thread 2nd March 17.30 hrs K.O

Unlike the other promotion teams Luton have given an okay showing. Certainly more than I expected this year. They had help today from the officials, but looking at other games against the top teams, they're very unlucky not to have taken a big scalp.

Thank fuck for that

 

[Tomy-Flemba]

Great teams scrape those kinds of victories when all looks lost but we have to manage second halves better. We won't get away with that against a top half team.

 

[Villa Onion bag]

We could all see their first goal coming, so why not make the change early?

Aston Villa motm Ollie Watkins
Luton Town motm Michael Oliver

Appreciate City have a game in hand, but we 4 points off second! Thats unbelievable. We need to do Spurs next week and we’ll be absolutely fine! Cmonnnn

 

[Stephen Jay Hawkings]

Well, that's what the top teams do, win somehow

 

[Old Trinity Villan]

Don't do that to me Villa. On to Amsterdam.

 

[Eaton_thevillafan]

Good god. hahah never easy being a Villa fan! Massive 3 points. At least the job is done.

Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

There's only one s in yes.

 

[Silhillvilla]

Got away with that . Dreadful second half performance lost all our shape down our left , a real learning experience for Rodgers in work off the ball.
3 points though is all that matters tonight.

The Scousers being a good example today.

Got away with it in the end, may not be so lucky next Sunday against spurs if he doesn’t react a bit quicker when needed.

We’ve had some awful refs this season but I think Michael Oliver tops the lot.

 

[Villan57]

Fuck me that second half was pure crap , the complete opposite to the first where we should have been 5 up

 

[ironside]

Phew. A very definite game of two halves.
The record book says Luton 2-3 Aston Villa.
3 points in the bag.

Did he give us anything all game?

 

[JW1985]

Jesus Christ. WTF are they trying to do to me ffs. Awful second half, not helped by the red giving them a free kick literally any time we breathed on them.

Great resilience to not throw in the towel though. Great moment of quality from the two subs though.

At the end of it all that matters is 3 points. 11 above Utd. 5 above Spurs. Next week is HUGE. UTV

 

[buggyvillan]

I'd be very surprised if we aren't celebrating a Watkins hat-trick today. He's really looked the business and can only see him dominating their defence more as the game goes on.

Just to remind myself why I don't usually post in match threads.

Spot on mate in 30 years time nobody will remember the game just the fact we won the league. 11 more wins like that
