An interesting stat given in the commentary is that we have only won one game in the last 3 years when we have been behind at half-time.

Originally posted by A89M Fans wanted more open, more attacking football, end to end stuff.. this is what you get. Our defence does not have the legs for it. Yet still we get constant moaning, it's end of season people..Relax. Maybe now, fans can see why Roy sets up so defensively... So our crap defending is down to the fact that we are attacking too much! So how did it work for us in the first 20 minutes when our usual defensive shape allowed Villa to bombard us with shots, crosses, corners and 72% possession? Only when we opened up did we start to get into the game and the individual crap defensive performances that cost us their two goals are not directly associated with our attacking which I think has been ok today.

The rebuild can't come soon enough. Ironically the area in which we were supposed to be strong (defence) is our obvious weakness. To the contrary we have a variety of attacking options but not the manager who can deliver on that particular front. Next season will provide some solutions if the right man is brought in.

This playing for a contract stuff is rubbish. No one does that. It’s made up by fans. He’s playing well and scoring because he’s finally being trusted as our main striker with a string of starts. And we’re finally putting the ball in the box for him. It’s really not rocket science.

We need a goal and he brings on Tonka! Hopefully Kouyate goes into midfield and gives us the legs we’ve been lacking all Season in midfield.

Finally being trusted? Are you joking? He's been given more starts for somebody who has been ineffectual than any player should be given. Roy has had nothing but faith in the player. It's only recently he's done much useful although he still misses a bagful of chances and doesn't create a mass of chances. As already stated, what has he done for the previous 2 years?
