I'll start off by saying well done to the Villa fans they were in fine voice last night and probably the loudest away support we've had at Town this season.
Onto the game now, Villa had a game plan to disrupt our free flowing game and after 5/10minutes of the game it worked a treat. A few niggly fouls here and there but nothing too serious and they managed to get a foothold into the game and draw us into a battle, Town lost composure in that first half which resulted in Löwe being booked for what was surely back chatting to the ref? Half time 0-0 but I'm not sure how because in my book Villa could have lead comfortably at that stage having missed what I'd consider sitters and smashed one against the woodwork. It was obvious we needed half time and Wagner to settle our lot down.
Second half much better from Town but still a very niggly game in which Town took the lead from a set piece corner routine...we're shit at corners by the way! Having seen the replay back I'd be disappointed if my keeper just stood there at the near post and did nothing, but fair play to Tommy 'get it forward' Smith because he hit it well and you never know where the ball will end up when you drill it into the box.
After the goal it was like the Alamo, Fat head decided the best route was the Warnock way of launching it upfield at every opportunity but Town managed to hold them out thanks to some great heading from Hefele and Schindler...the latter was my man of the match by the way
