Obviously I'm disappointed we lost, but I actually thought we played pretty well. The 451 has been talked about for both sides - and I don't think we had any choice against the pace that Villa have in the middle. You made a fair point that despite our posession, we didn't really look like scoring but in truth before the goal I don't think Villa did either. The goal gave you a lift and when you switched to 442 coupled with our attempt to push on - gave you several more chances that would have given a false impression of the game if you had scored. Having said that, Villa have a better squad than us - there's no denying it, but the fact that we matched and probably looked better on the ball for a lot of the 70 minutes prior to the goal, makes me hopeful that we will stay up. Fair play to Villa, they took they chance and therefore they took the points, but there was no hammering, (despite a number of predictions), and on the whole the game was quite even. See you in April. ;-) Kev Blues fan here. Obviously I’m disappointed we lost, but I actually thought we played pretty well.
