Deserved draw, some positives but Mcleish years will not be exciting

A decent start to the season

There was apprehension at the start of the game from myself because I do not rate McLeish. However it has to be said the first half performance was very good and maybe if Bent had not gone early we could have been leading. The main talking point of the team selection was the inclusion of Heskey and frankly we were proved right, Why ???

The second half started very slow for us and Fulham were all over us. If not for a very good performance from MOTM Shay Given we could have easily been 2-0 down after 60 mins. From then on it seemed like we settled for the draw and it was a well deserved one but no doubt some will use that to have a go at McLeish for being negative. For once I can not join in with that because away at Fulham a draw is good.

The positives were of course Shay given, Dunne played well, N’Zog did until he faded.

The big negative was clearly picking Heskey who contributed nothing and can simply not understand his inclusion.

However I have to say I expect that this will be the standard of our away performances, keeping it tight and hoping for things on the break. If Mcleish can get some attacking play into the team at home we may be on for a decent season, much more of that at home and knives will be out.

  1. Im not going against Hereford either, how dare I call myself a real fan

  2. Yesterday was anti-football. Yes, we got a point but who the f*ck wants to pay to watch that type of football? You can see more creativeness on a sunday morning. McCleish better not set the team up like that for the next game.

  3. You just like posting fucking shit on here just pissing people off and get up their noses but unlike you I don’t find it a fucking joke. And excuse me for being passionate bout THE VILLA

  4. I think you need to go out in the real world and pay for a hooker. Lets face it men like you dont get real action.

  5. YOU MEAN LIKE YOU LOL AND AT LEAST I AM A MAN YOU DO NOT LIVE IN THE REAL WORLD YOU LIVE IN FUCKING CYBER LAND POSTING SHITTY COMMENTS ON HERE AND YOU’LL BE DOING THIS UNTIL YOUR A OAP CAUSE WE ALL KNOW ON THIS BLOG YOU ARE THE HOOKER EVERYBODY PAYS FOR YOU FUCKING SOCIALITE

  6. Wow CAPITALS

  7. Seems to me that there is a deal of resentment that McLeish didn’t lose his first competitive fixture in charge of the Villa.

    He’s here, he’s in charge, support the team.

    Had a good day yesterday, thought we played reasonably well, and if not for an offside, we’d have come away with the three points.

    If we win our next three matches, there will still be some on here griping about something.

    Fulham lost four home games last season, it’s hardly a poor result.

  8. I for one agree with vaze support the team but they’ll be some twat on here putting the team down,we need to get behind the team.

  9. As if anybody seriously wants us to lose you pillock. Im no fan of mcleish but i want him to succeed and prove everyone wrong

    • I genuinely believe that there are some who would like to see McLeish struggle and be ousted, and for the majority of fans to call for Lerner out.

      Thankfully, they are a tiny minority that are vastly over represented upon forums.

      To deny their existence, would be pillock like.

  10. Mcleish wont be ousted even if we struggle. So wanting him to fail is pointless.

    Lerner Out
