[WBA-Josh]

I think a loss today would have destroyed what ever confidence the team had left and even though it could have meant Irvine leaving which I know a lot of people want now, it would have made the Villa and QPR games even harder than they will be now.

We can take some positives from this draw such as the defence working well, McAuley played well and at times we did move the ball around well.

Villa is a big game now. If we lose that then the players confidence will be shot to pieces but a win will boost both player and fan morale and we can then look to tackling QPR before the visit of Man City.

I do agree with you guys that bringing Varela on for Sessegnon was the wrong change. Bringing off Gardner, Mulumbu or Morrison for Varela would have been a better switch and could have changed the course of the match.
