Almost the same Villa team 3 league games in a row.

Herd in for Young who is leaving.

Is the sound fcuked for anyone else or is it my Sky box?

Patser

Full speed derby so far, little skill on show though.

And then Hunt goes on a good run.....

A good few empty seats on show at Villa Park too, not great for an early season derby match although it is a very early Kick off.

Herd will be feeling that for a few days...

JPA

Ouch. Clash between Herd and the post.

That_Guy

Ouch.

Patser

Herd header onto the post - unfortunately no ball involved - he just headed the post hard. Looks nasty.

"Let him off that one"
"Just don't do it again". (Herds pass to Hennessy)

El Horseboxo

Sound just seemed to sort itself out.

Patser

There's Trap

JPA

Trap at a game!

Given, Dunne, Ireland, Clark, Doyle, Ward, Hunt - he'd want to be there

Foley is on the bench and don't forget that there's a very good chance that Stearman will declare for us too. Oh, and there's still a chance for O'Hara too :pac:

Patser

Ooohhh!! So close Heskey!

Jaysus N'Zogbia can control a ball and Gabby got some of his old mojo back.

Mars Bar

Jayz, I was certain that was in

Patser

Wolves responding well.

It's a fairly open game this.

Raskolnikov

Given's groin could be crocked...

Mars Bar

Doyle should have taken a pop

Patser

How are Wolves getting so much space in and around the box.:mad:

Especially considering the cross he put in, even Doyle would have struggled to reach that himself,

Great work from Ward.

JPA

Petrov is just average.

Raskolnikov

In fairness, all your players look pretty average so far.

Patser

Great run by Petrov but needs to do something better with it.

Bent is anonymous in this game. Has he touched a ball.

Grid.

C'mon Wolves!!!

Raskolnikov

Shockingly poor match.

That_Guy

One of the worst 45 mins of football I've seen in a while.

Raskolnikov

0-0 HT.

I can see why Villa Park is empty. Two sh!t teams playing sh!t football.

joseph brand

Villa's only plan seems to be to give it to Agbonlahor.

Ward is very dangerous when he goes on a run. Seems like he has no faith in his strike ability. Always crosses.

Patser

Just 2 teams cancelling each other out.

Both sides are pretty much playing 4-2-4 formations with neither sides' midfields wanting or able to hold and control the ball. Instead it's hoof it to the wings and hope a moment of magic happens.

Bent is simply standing on the peno spot waiting to pounce but there're no decent crosses coming in. Agbonlahor is being well matched by Stearman but I've a feeling he'll get 2-3 runs on him second half. N'Zogbia drifts into game, does something neat and then spends 10 minutes reflecting on it. Heskey's the one that wants the ball the most but he's hardly the creative spark you want.

As for Wolves you could substitute Fletcher, Doyle, Hunt and Jarvis into that list above.

Raskolnikov

Better start from Villa.

Patser

Villa have switched up a gear now!

Raskolnikov

Stephen Hunt is just so brainless.

Kylo Ren

Come on 0-0!

Raskolnikov

Villa should throw Ireland on, he loves these kind of games.

Raskolnikov

Much, much better half, Villa all over them.

Patser

Jaysus!

What do Villa have to do to score. Gabby, Dunne and Herd all close!

Ronan Raver77

Come on Villa...What Steven Ireland saw when he looked up into the stands from the Aston Villa bench

Raskolnikov

How many chances does Nzogbia need to even get on target?

Patser

Heskey's looking tired, bring on Marc or Ireland.

Edit: Instead it's Barry Bannon for N'Zogbia!!

That should have been MArc Albrighton surely

In Soviet Russia tired gets Heskey.

Looks like little genius Bannan is coming on.

Zog off.

Raskolnikov

Villa have gone back to sleep.

Patser

Just on BBC live feed there, Luke Young has signed for QPR. Just as well Herd is having a good game (heading posts not included)

Raskolnikov

Ireland needs to get out of Villa if the likes of Delph and Bannan are going to be ahead of him.

Patser

C'mon McLeish, half the team look knackered.

MArc or Ireland on for Heskey

Makoun for Petrov

Edit: Here's Marc for Delph

Raskolnikov

Wolves should have had a peno.

Raskolnikov

Lucky boy Herd, looked even worse second time.

Patser

MoM for Herd
