Team was reasonably set up and competed well for the first 70 mins After the first goal we went into freefall yet again Whoever comes in has got to get them over a massive mental attitude problem
When Dibling was fouled the ref waved play on thinking there was an advantage I'd like him to explain how you can have a clear advantage 10 yards inside your own half with 4/5 opposition players within 10 yards of you. Theat error just compounded the inconsistent decisions which looked an awful lot like a Villa bias
Good to see Stewart and Robinson get game time Unfortunately we had no one capable of feeding the ball through to him so we couldn't |

I would just like to make 2 tactical points:
1. Villa were coming into this match after a tough game on Wednesday - we played a low block and let them play in front of us. I think we should have been pressing them hard.
2. Most of Villa's play goes through Tielemans - we should have had someone on his toes all the time.

A reasonably good first half in terms of defence but oh dear as far as the forward line was concerned. Every ball out came straight back, no one bullied their CB's, who won't have an easier game all season. And a glance at the subs bench told us that this wouldn't change. Thought, as did most of us, that the ref was very poor and the incident with the free kick that wasn't given (Dibling had his back to the ref when he waived play on) proved that. Had it been given they wouldn't have scored the first. I also thought Jack got a little bit of the ball for the second penalty? |

After the euphoria and exertions of Oxford, this was always going to be a struggle to raise our game again. We started brightly but after taking the lead BC were pushing us back, running the game and scored after a good defence splitting passing move. We still had the better chances when we countered but couldn't take them.
The second half continued in a similar vein and inevitably, we tired. As at the Kassam, the suns came on and added energy |

Can't criticize these players anymore, what's the point, forget about talent, we have a mentally weak and broken team, I can't see how we can move forward. Get who we can out the door and try to rebuild.
Apart from Ramsdale, KWP, Fernandes, Dibling, if any other player think they should be playing at a premier league level next season they are delusional. |

We played well in the first half. Good to see a bit of bite in our tackles. Team looked to be set up well.
Second half - aside from Ramsdale's penalty heroics - the usual 3 goal collapse.
Villa's strikers showed just how feeble ours are. Our lot seem better at contriving to somehow keep the ball out of the net than our CB's! |

Battled well but the gulf between the teams was huge. Fell apart as so often the case after going behind. The support from the fans was great until the match was lost and drifting to it's conclusion. Too defensive a line up for a home match. |

claus5. We should care because there is a very real prospect that next season we're going to be left with the worst of the worst: the likes of Cameron Archer and Will Smallbone, and you could see again today what a terrible liability they are. Then, instead of Ramsdale, who was once again our best player, we're going to be stuck with McCarthy and Bazunu. |

Absolutely pathetic.
That could well be the worst forward line i've seen since my first game in 1975.
Can't believe what our team has become? Does anyone care about who stays or goes, i know i don't! |

All the players seemed up for this and gave 100%, a surprising result and performance considering the team we had to put out and current form of both sides. I wonder why the attitude appeared so much better for this match than many others, play with this enthusiasm and desire and can’t believe would be anywhere near the relegation zone. |

Solid performance, but against a poor team so difficult to judge how good we were. But defence and midfield did pretty much all we could ask for and although the attack was a weak point we scored 3 goals.
I'm particularly impressed with Morrison and don't understand why we've not seen more of him. And as others have said we saw some signs that maybe Madsen could become an ok player for us.
I'd give Colback MotM. Used his experience and footballing brain to help us mostly control the midfield. |

moment of the match was Smyth's covering tackle around the 80th minute as Cardiff broke fast from one of our pointless corners (or something) and the Cardiff player - don't ask me to memorise their names - was 60/40 to get his toe to the ball and run on into a vacant QPR end and Smyth slid in at speed looking like he never had any intention other than clearing the Cardiff player into the stand.. Beautiful tackle and a game saver |

After setting up defensively at home against Palace, we go for an adventurous 4-3-3 away at Spurs?
Too many gaps, too weak in the middle, toothless up front and pretty clueless throughout! Another record no one wants and looking odds on for another at this rate.
A little bit of hope after Wednesday, completely obliterated today. No one really expected a victory but we had a right to hope for a performance! |
