We need to use our subs positively at about 65/70 minutes to put Wigan under pressure.

Didn't know Stephen Wanksock was now with Wigan.

by **villabromsgrove** Sat Dec 10, 2016 3:24 pm

We've had a lot of attacks but nothing yet in the way of a goal.

by **villabromsgrove** Sat Dec 10, 2016 3:43 pm

It seems that we come out full of beans, but then the confidence drains away. Wigan are organised and we seem to be struggling to play through them. Nothing for a very quiet crowd to shout about at the moment.

Half time .... 0-0. We dominated for 15 minutes then ran out of ideas. Morley saying we've got some good individuals but we're a long way from being a team. We don't look to get the ball in the box with any urgency.

At his best Adomah can do that. Another hot and cold player?

by **villabromsgrove** Sat Dec 10, 2016 4:50 pm

What a relief! Grealish from 25 yards 1-0 Villa. I was beginning to think it wasn't going to happen. cheers

Scrappy game but we won .... Three points.

by **villabromsgrove** Sat Dec 10, 2016 5:02 pm

We're not getting any better, but we've done the job today .... Just! Roll on January so that we can get a couple of better players in key positions.

by **villabromsgrove** Sat Dec 10, 2016 5:54 pm

Three points behind Birmingham and the same from the play offs. You don't have to play well to get the job done evidently. Just pick up three points.

I said after the Cardiff game that we are over-reliant on moments of magic from our flair players and today and Jack Grealish have proved that spectacularly.

by **villabromsgrove** Sun Dec 11, 2016 3:15 am

It's a conundrum. Grealish let us down with a lazy performance, and rescued us with a great goal. I say rescued because a draw with Wigan at home would have been a disaster.

by **Sandie** Sun Dec 11, 2016 2:57 pm

Funny thing is that lately I've seen a more industrious Grealish but was concerned he reined in the magic. Yesterday sounds like the opposite!

by **villabromsgrove** Sun Dec 11, 2016 3:14 pm

Wigan were well drilled and defended with discipline. After the first 15 minutes there was a sense of heads already beginning to drop or so it sounded according to the two regular Villa commentators. Grealish was increasingly mentioned as being poor, until he scored a great goal that is. If he can pop up with a goal every week then his work rate may be acceptable.
