Disappointing after taking the lead that we got a draw but I am always satisfied with an away draw in a local derby. It was a match after the first 3 minutes of little excitement and few chances but in the 2nd half we controlled the game and really should have come away with three points.

The most disappointing aspect of today was actually we worked several very good chances to create chances on the wings but the delivery was shocking from all the forward players and until Heskey came on we actually created little. Ashley Young is really worrying at the moment, he seems very bereft of confidence and every position he got into he wasted.

However I will contain my anger towards just one player – John Carew.

For a while I have felt like a lone voice in the wilderness in what I was saying about him. He i a faker and bluffer, he fools people by little claps and acknowledgments to the crowd that is somehow worth the adulation that he does get. Well today in the pub I was watching the game this myth has been blown apart.

He was dreadful, he was lacking any kind of desire and how does a defender like Craddock beat him to every ball ? If that performance was by a player called Heskey the Villa fans would have been in uproar, well this time it was Heskey who provided the telling ball and Gabby doing his usual trick of scoring in derbies.

MON, do the right thing, drop the show artist and play a player who gives us all every minute no matter how poor he has been since January, the myth has been broken.
