MATCH DAY THREAD: Aston Villa v The Mighty Blades

[I'll tell me dad.]

Grealish dived and should have been booked first half.

 

[FriethBlade]

And that was before the near miss then ...get him off Wilder

 

[Harvey Robinson-Smythe]

A third villa goal's coming

 

[Grappler]

Have to say the Villa team are cheating bastards, a slight gut of wind near our box and they go down, and the ref gives it, they must be made of tissue paper

 

[Davalon]

Back three looking less than steady at times but over all decent performance so far in a game I thought we'd really struggle.

A little uneasy seeing Carruthers coming on. We need to keep hold of the ball now and he doesn't.

 

[FriethBlade]

Gotta say id take a point now !

 

[Kimmy Blade]

Lundstram having a blinder

 

[derfblade.3]

Gotta say id take a point now !

We don't do draws!

 

[Ldn_Rd_Blades]

Honestly the fouls we've been booked for compared to the fouls they've committed with no bookings is unbelievable

 

[Luke1993]

Donaldson and Lundstram very good games

 

[Woodwardfan]

Lundztram our main man for the future. Listen to the manager. Lundztram is quality.

 

[Harvey Robinson-Smythe]

Jedinank mom for me

 

[Yellarbellyblade]

Excellent point especially given the first ten minutes

 

[Jonboy60]

Isn’t this the ref that was in charge when scougal got rugby spear tackled at Bradford 2014 season.

 

[8lade]

A third villa goal's coming

Excellent prediction.

 

[8lade]

That half was a gruelling thing to watch, wasn't happy to see our lads going to ground but it was the only way to compete in the end.

 

[Yellarbellyblade]

Lundstram was superb ..... cue the Lundstram haters giving me dogs abuse

 

[JayGreen17]

Could have won that game without Stearman in the side... I've never seen a centre back so thin and light weight.. he doesn't really offer a great deal for me.

 

[Esablade]

Level’s dropped off second half but we kept the shape...can’t think of a save Moore had to make 2nd half.

 

[Alfreton14Blade]

Dug in there, showed some real bollocks, came away with the point. Good lads!

 

[Davalon]

More than happy. Would have taken a point before kick off let alone after 10 minutes.

Clarke's chance could have won it too.

 

[robbiez666]

Much better second half and we really earned that point. Although, Villa look pretty poor.

Lundstram was the best player on the pitch for me, although needs to work on his marking and tracking.

 

[Grappler]

Keeps us in 7th, a win would have been great but we have at least stopped the losses.

 

[FriethBlade]

Top result especually after the start we made. Hope Donaldson is ok for boxing day as i thougjt he'd done his groin midway thru the second half

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

A Blades draw a rare thing,nearly as rare as a live turkey at this time of year.

 

[Blade58]

Brilliant point away from home, against one of the favs to go up and having gone 2 down in the first 10 mins and turning out with a much weakened side.

Can't help thinking with Coutts, Fleck and Brooks available, Villa were there for the taking and we'd have nicked all 3 points

Let's put it another way. If that complete fk up of side over the other side of the city can get 3 points there then so can we

[Ldn_Rd_Blades]

We really are missing the drive from midfield of coutts and fleck, Duffy was quiet as well which is understandable. Think Brooks would have caused them damage as well.

Moore did well, think he commands the area better than Blackman.

Donaldson dig us out of a hole.

Would rather play Wright in the centre.

That ref was unbelievable.

Just need to regain our home form and playoffs is achievable.

 

[Caveblade]

Awful cynical team. Threw themselves down with the slightest whiff of a touch and the SKY pundits make no comment. The Basham challenge on Grealish (wanker) actually merited a yellow for diving as did El mohammady when Clayton got booked.

 

[ScottishBlade93]

Tremendous character from the lads there. At 2-0 down with the run that we are on I honestly thought there was no way back. Excellent fight from the players to get back into it. We might not match a lot of teams for quality in this league but none have the spirit and commitment of us. Lundstram and Donaldson in particular were good tonight but everyone played there part. Hopefully that is the corner turned now and we have 2 home games next week to hopefully get some wins on board and get another run together.

Bunch of "divers" but then Bruce learn't from the master at Man' Ure.
Lundstram was brilliant tonight. Not sure Donaldson deserved MoM overall, he has got some pace though and those who thought he was overweight should have noticed walking off at half time and he lifted his shirt - no excess flab there!
I would spare a word for Clarke tonight, he ran his legs off as always.
Not sure about Baldock being a defender, I think he could be an attacking mid-fielder, some of his defending tonight was suspect, but forward runs were were brilliant.
Coudn't critisise anybody tonight, we deserved a point, well done to the lads.
Also the support was outstanding, well done to those who traveled a "made a tremendous noise"
