Wow! Showed some class touches, and super creative passing in final third, u can tell his a German international! He needs to start next game!

We are desperately missing a player who can dribble and run at players to create opportunities against weaker opposition such as Luton and Charlton. We are also missing a greedy selfish type of midfielder who will just shoot from 20-25 yards. OR should TM be encouraging players to shoot near final third instead of passing sideways? We had SO much possession in the final third but kept going sideways, WITHOUT testing their keeper, only 2 shots were Johnson and travis's goal. TM is 100% failing with a game plan against weaker opponents! Imagine Damian duff playing in the game yesterday, now he would have created some chances and got the ball onto Gallaghers head!

Top 6 here we come!

Need travis in to shore up the midfield

We have been much the better side second half, travis best player on pitch dictating play everything going through him. Plenty of good passing and possession but missing that focal point in attack, as dack ineffective upfront. They have countered a few times, but we have packed the midfield and been better than 1st half.

Bring on dack, rothwell, Chapman before it's too late. Need a win to boost confidence

Is Cunningham anygood? What's his strengths?

They did make the most of what they had. Its not easy to break down a team with 10 men behind the ball. However that begs the question how did they score 2 goals? Our defence is piss poor, apart from Lenihan the other 3 would not get in any of then top 10 teams. TM MUST address this!

Wigan fan I know rates Walton very highly, to the extent he thinks he may play for England one day. Brighton rate him highly as he was not for sale only available on loan! Funny how those who haven't even seen him play are making judgements.

They sat back very deep, we didn't shoot from edge of the area when we had possession there. They were compact in the middle and forced us wide, downing put good balls in, we really should have switched to 2 centre forwards! They countered a few times and that when they had all their shots

It's not their expectations were low , contrary to a lot of the negativity on here we did have A LOT of possession in the final third and after our equaliser there only looked like 1 winner us. we had a period of immense pressure for about 15 mins but could not carve out any clear chances. 1st goal Bennett passed straight to them and they countered, 2nd goal their number 9 beat Lenihan in air to head home. Hence why tosin at 6ft 5 must start next game! P.S Bradley Johnson - cant remember the last time I saw such an accomplished all round performance from a CM

Watch skysports highlights, on 27 seconds, under no pressure mulgrew cant head a simple ball, their striker is straight on goal 1 on 1. This is identical to the mistakes he made in game cant remember near end of last season. Please watch it...

I think Gallagher would be a great signing for us. For whatever reason it didn't work out for him at Birmingham. What if dack gets sold come deadline day and Graham gets an injury? Entirely possible then who would lead the line? Not Armstrong as he is more effective out wide and we dont have any wide players with pace bar Chapman. If dack does end up moving on Graham and Gallagher would be an ideal partnership.

Shocking by Williams, simple cross in, he missed it completely! We were well on top untill then

Mowbray messed up in January! Gambled on the fact that rodwell will come good as CB, but even worse was to let go of downing. Don't know why we didn't go in for Patrick Bauer. The only good thing about this abysmal run and number of goals conceded is that he will hopefully bring in a couple of defenders! We cannot start next season with Williams, bell and Mulgrew!

Absolute rubbish! Sorry, bowyer had Rhodes, gestede, king, Cairney, dann, Hanley + more. We can't compete with Boro/stoke/forest/ their wage budgets will be MORE than DOUBLE ours! It is so hard to bring in any talented established players because they will already be on more than 20k a week!! This is key when it comes to recruitment. Villa lost 1 million pound a week last season, look it up, as did wolves last year!! Our goal for this season is to stay up. Looks like we will do that. If TM doesn't bring in any defenders in summer then call for his head! What wigan and Rotherham would give to be in our position! We have to be content with mid table, and build SLOWLY over the next 3 years, yes 2-3 years at least.

To be fair he has protected raya many times, at least 3 times if not more for calamitous errors which cost us points! Lack of goalkeeping competition also an issue

Tony big mistake was not bringing in a loan CB in January....we had been shipping goals all season

Think everyone agrees with that! Hopefully we won't see that pairing Next season!

Rodwell and mulgrew would be decent in league, but not good enough for championship!!

It's ok, we don't need any proper defenders, we got fancy feet players in rodwell and mulgrew, who can't even jump! Why let downing go? At least he was a CB

Birmingham game plan, pump long balls into final third, mulgrew can't head, neither can any of the other defenders! Hope they been working hard in training and they prove us wrong with a clean sheet...

Would gladly spend ALL our summer budget on a PROPER defender, to pair with lenihan. Mulgrew is finished, rodwell not good enough...

Tight on Williams, mulgrew fault that!

JACK RODWELL IS NOT A DEFENDER!
