    Rubbish football

    That's what a Villa fan said his Albion mates keep telling him. "All my Albion mates do is moan about how bad the football is".
    Unbeaten in 10. Just beat Cardiff away 0-4 with two worldly strikes.
    It wont stop the moaning. Unfortunately for some nothing is ever good enough. Its in their DNA.

    Val plays a high press high intensity system that is reliant on getting the ball to the final third quickly, when this works and we then retain the ball and play quick passing football it is a good watch, however when the system breaks down and we don’t retain the ball it looks akin to kick and rush hoof ball, this isn’t the way Val wants us to play, give him time and please Lai some investment and we will have more days like last night and less like the last 2 games!

    Yup. We need to just trust the process with patience.

    I keep reading that there is no Plan B. To me we score goals from set plays, counter attacks, in the air, on the ground, long shots, tap ins and long throws.

    What on earth would Plan B look like?

    We seemed to “hoof” it quite well for 50 yards like we did for the fourth goal.

    There’s absolutely nothing wrong with a 50-60 yard ball as long as you have a player willing to do the hard yards to get on the end of it and to then outmuscle the opponent like we did last night.

    As former full back I can assure anyone that the last thing you want is a fast, long ball played out wide when you’re team has been on the attack.

    It’s almost impossible to defend other than getting there first and knocking it out of play.

    On the coach back last night, a lad was heard saying "even if we won the Champion's League, Premiership, League Cup, they would moan about us not winning the FA Cup". Spot on.
