Brighton & Hove Albion vs Aston Villa *** Official Match Thread ***
Martinez Sky MoM.
‘We came here to win.’ Says he.
Utter utter bollox I’m afraid.
They couldn’t have been more set-up for a draw if they tried.
I don’t think we had enough big chances for me to be too disappointed. Villa got all the luck.
We move on to Palace in great defensive and possession form.
“Only Man City (5) have conceded fewer first half goals in the Premier League this season than Aston Villa (8).” BBC
So they’re an amazing 1st half defensive unit. Let‘s hope we keep at them in the second half.
The ball did not fall for us in the 1st half but Villa surely can’t remain lucky. All the deflections in the box falling to Villa men including Martinez. If we keep this up, something will go our way. Plenty of attacking options on the bench too. Might be Welbeck on at around 70mins?
