Aston Villa vs THE SUPER CLARETS Match Thread

[Shaggy]

We are easily the worst team in this league this season.

Will Parker still be here for a tilt at the championship next season?

[Casper2]

I think we should be looking elsewhere before blaming Esteve for that goal, maybe the player trotting around and not helping out defensively.

I don’t , he was the man marking Malen

[burnley007]

Parker and Premier League are not a good combination

[NewClaret]

Aye.. from the first whistle.

Getting a bit frustrated with Parker on that front.

[Safron]

Well that's totally baffling

[Claret Alfie]

Christ knows what Edwards has done to Parker over the summer.

[Murger]

Poor today from Parker. Pressure will start mounting on him if we play like this against Leeds.

[claretgimmer]

Walkers passing is absolute shite, does Dyche not fancy being our defensive coach

[Vegas Claret]

I reckon we have 4 or 5 players that are at the level required for this league, we will finish bottom and I think we've given it a pretty good go with our signings. I honestly don't know how a club like us will compete at this level.

[Bacchus]

Was Florentino forced off by the ref or was it his own decision? He hadn't received any treatment so didn't think he had to go off, leaving a massive hole in the middle

The game was stopped for him, therefore off the field. Left a big hole that nobody filled. Crap rule but we have to be more switched on than that.

[Clive 1960]

Parker needs to look at is tactics we are wide open..

[karatekid]

Don’t worry. This time next year we will be top of the championship and all getting giddy and will only have conceded one goal. Probably a penalty too.

[NewClaret]

Parker and Premier League are not a good combination

Behave.

These fixtures have been an absolute abomination for us.

[Vegas Claret]

Christ knows what Edwards has done to Parker over the summer.

He had a chance to show he really wanted game time against Cardiff and was quite frankly abysmal

[fidelcastro]

For a minute there I thought we'd taken off a striker off for a defensive midfielder at 2-0 down... Oh hang on.

[dougcollins]

Am I dreaming, or have we got JBL playing up front?

[CoolClaret]

For a minute there I thought we'd taken off a striker off for a defensive midfielder at 2-0 down... Oh hang on.

We've moved to a 4-3-3, positive change.

[NewClaret]

Christ knows what Edwards has done to Parker over the summer.

He’s about 4ft tall, doesn’t track back and weak as feck in the tackle. No way he was ever starting in the Prem.

[Murger]

Behave.

These fixtures have been an absolute abomination for us.

We are playing a formation that these players aren’t suited too.
If you are starting Laurent as 1 of your centre backs, you are going seriously wrong somewhere.

[Bow]

Behave.

These fixtures have been an absolute abomination for us.

That’s the problem with the Premier League, you play against Premier League teams every week

[Bigvince]

Broja looks like he’s just out for a stroll, can’t work out if he’s just slow or not interested.

[burnley007]

Am I dreaming, or have we got JBL playing up front?

Nah.
Players are just playing wherever.
There's no real tactics anymore.

It's a shambles

[fidelcastro]

We've moved to a 4-3-3, positive change.

Comeback is on then!

[Vegas Claret]

Parker and Premier League are not a good combination

last 6 up have come down, I still think there is a fair chance at least 2 more will be added to that this season. It's hard to point the finger at managers IMHO.

[claretgimmer]

We`re just too passive as a team apart from Cullen, nobody up front seems to really want to put a shift in

[Firthy]

At some point Parker has to stop being so negative and play a more attacking. If we have no goal threat then it just puts pressure on the defence and pressure leads to mistakes.

[Bada Bing]

We've looked poor in the attacking 1/3. Wide open when Villa have possession in midfield.

[Claret Alfie]

He’s about 4ft tall, doesn’t track back and weak as feck in the tackle. No way he was ever starting in the Prem.

He may not have start but he can come on when we’re 2 down. He’s probably our only player who can take a player on.

[burnley007]

Teams are enjoying playing us. How has a Burnley side allowed that?

We make life too easy for them.

[Goody1975]

Aye.. from the first whistle.

We are gifting the midfield to them before we've kicked a ball.

We are putting our back three under more pressure by not having the personnel to protect them. It does seem obvious.

[KRBFC]

I reckon we have 4 or 5 players that are at the level required for this league, we will finish bottom and I think we've given it a pretty good go with our signings. I honestly don't know how a club like us will compete at this level.

Start by being tight and compact.

Not playing five at the back with a Championship standard midfielder playing at centre half or a Championship standard winger at wing back.

[fidelcastro]

Anyone still think the Leeds game isn't must win?

[KRBFC]

We've moved to a 4-3-3, positive change.

Have we? Who’s the right winger?

[tarkys_ears]

Oh my

And from a corner!

[BobSykes]

That's one back

[Claret Alfie]

Finally!

[willsclarets]

Big les!

[jos]

Get in

[burnley007]

Laurent is still on.

We are so tedious

[Cirrus_Minor]

Goal from Les

[BobSykes]

Do that again now Les

[Commy]

The 9-0 is still in Parker's head and he is scared of attacking. Both Leeds and Sunderland give it a go.

[CoolClaret]

Get in.

We can salvage something here! Positive vibes lads!!!

[Kgun5]

Big Les!

[ElectroClaret]

Yeeeeerrrrsssssss

[Murger]

Come on Big Les!!

[wilks_bfc]

Big Les with a nutmeg header

[fidelcastro]

Villa with some defending usually seen only by us this season!

[claretburns]

There we go, back within a goal of snatching a point and the ref becomes a Villa fan again.

[willsclarets]

Come on boys, one big chance.
