Stayed away last night because I knew with the mood I like everyone else left VP in I would have said something very stupid and reactionary, as I see some have, well done to those who managed to keep their heads.

Not matter what way you cut it, with 11 men still on the pitch, at 2-0 in the 80th minute, if you lose that game it's down to the players, full stop. Forced into two subs due to injury and a player requesting a sub, so went like for like, makes perfect sense as up till that point the game plan was working perfectly and they had no threat. The Dougie sub may be questioned but the fella had got off a plan about 14 hours before, coming from a different time zone, so I can see why he was subbed.

Second half Mings was awful, that's clear, what won't be mentioned is the fact that Konsa, Tuanzebe and Targett were all equally as bad, some of them even more, but we all know why that won't be mentioned?. The only player who can walk off that pitch with any credibility is Mcginn, and if he keeps that level up and we can't match it around him, he'll be the next one to leave.

Miscued clearances, lack of effort, inability to calm the situation down and keep hold of the ball and naivety cost us that game, that coupled with the sight of Smith and two of the coaching staff on the sideline screaming for the team to step out, hold onto the ball, going crazy when we were aimlessly giving it back to them, tells you exactly what you need to know, but some will still attempt to use this as a stick to beat him with.

Highlights of the match for me were Mings getting booked for time wasting when Villa were winning 1-0.The Holte End singing ‘We will not be moved’ and then moving faster than they ever moved before when the winning goal went in and Villas man of the match lying on the floor behind the wall in an attempt to save the day.

Fair play to your lads Neves, shame some of your fans left at 2-0 and missed once of your best comebacks ever. Just goes to show money can buy you loads of Portuguese players but not a decent fan base?.

Remember the days when they used to open the gates for the last ten minutes and everyone outside could get in.
Need to make these stadiums far bigger so that everyone who wants to go to the game can.

I think that’s the first sensible thing you’ve ever posted on the page?.
