Dissapointing but guess it could have been worse.

I still wouldn;t take him off. Gabby and Weimann wont last 90 minutes I expect Tonev and Kozak to make an appearance in the 2nd half.

I agree its all too frenetic! Only Westwood has that composure in the middle of the park. Delph looks rusty and has given it away a few times.

We just lack composure. We need to slow it down a bit and stop giving the ball away. Benteke does look out of sorts. Nicely set up by Westwood, last season he would have finished that. I think we should have had a penalty from that Westwood shot. There was enough distance between the shot and the point of impact. But guess we are lucky to be level. So lets improve 2nd half.

I would have thought at 21 and Lambert liking young players then I think he will be given every opportunity at Villa. Delph is 24 so he still has plenty of time.

Well he isn't the greatest positionally, but can cover this with his pace to burn. If his positioning gets better with experience, he'll develop into a really strong defender for us. Yep the one thing you need above everything else as a fullback is pace. The rest you can work on!

Puts me off eggs though.

So its not just muscle. No wickets in the 2nd innings against a side that has barely played any first class cricket. Does not look good for England if Bresnan is our saviour.

That's the team I would go for as well. Hope we are not too narrow though like we have been in some home games.

Seems likely that Ballance will get the nod to bat at 6 and Root likely to step up and bat at 3. The well respected cricket journalist who used to write for the post George Dobell suggests as much and George is rarely wrong except for his views on Jim Troughton

Hope he does get back in our squad because he's the type of midfield player we don't have and he might be a better option than sylla.

Agree. Not quite there. Obviously, he's showing nerves but also improvement compared to his first few appearances. He will start scoring on these long shots eventually and every fan in the PL will want him. Yes lets hope so Con. I think we'll see the best of a lot of the summer signings later in the season. I think Tonev will come good. The one signing that is some way away from first team selection is Helenius, Maybe next season we'll see more of him.

I think you are right. i don't expect Luna to start. I'd start with the team that finished the game against WBA myself providing Gabby, Delph and Weimann are all properly fit. I think Weimann is possibly the fittest of the three at the moment.

Weimann thinks his a special talent. Those shots go in the net in training. If that early one had gone in against West Brom we may have seen a more confident Tonev. He's not a starter for me yet I think.

You can't really compare him to bale. Quality-wise you can't, but that was Zatman's point. Positionally you can. Two wingers who also like to finish their attack with a shot rather than a pass. I think that's harsh. He's not the best or the worst. He burst onto the scene and sides have figured out his 'plan A'. He now needs to go to the next level or risk becoming Aaron Lennon Mark 2. He's still raw and he'll be fine. He's not the best or the worst. Therefore he's average like I said. I said he'd get figured out quickly and he has. Youre right, he needs to add something different to his game. I think he's better than average. He can go inside or out, two footed and has pace. So he has a lot going for him. He is not two footed, watch him when running with the ball, all his ball control is with his left foot. Maybe but he can shoot and cross with his right, which gives him the option to go either way, with the pace he has as well I think he can be a top player. Be honest if he played for Villa you would love him!

1/10 I'll take your word for it and not bother then. Parkland was 4/10, JFK 8/10

I think his main asset is his pace but maybe I'm wrong.

Have to check that out then. Two Costner films in 2 days and haven't seen him in a film for 10 years.

They owe Birmingham City council big time though don't they!

came close tuesday

Yes as Gary Neville said Spurs play at a much slower tempo than they did under Harry. I don't understand why it would be such madness to sack AVP. They sacked Harry after finishing 4th. They finished one place lower last season. They have spent a fortune in the summer and a defeat to United would put them 7 pts outside the top 4 and possibly 11 pts behind their main rivals.

Busy period! Lets hope we can get more than 8 pts from those set of fixtures

Matter of opinion regarding Murray and personality. Personally think he has shown a different side since losing to Federer at Wimbledon 2012. Good to see that Ian Bell is nominated. First warwickshire player ever i think although Lara won the overseas award in 94

I am not disbelieving what has been said on here but Lowton is still part of the squad and if Bacuna gets injured I am certain he will be first in line to play. Sorry i am just very sceptical about this story.
