I'd rather not watch them. We weren't very good. However, we go again! #UTA

Yeah we weren't at our best but Villa played well and will take points from our rivals too I suspect.
We didn't lose - we move on with our unbeaten run in tact

Apart from the 5 minutes of consecutive corners we weren’t troubled.

It's the obligatory 'big club in lower league' biased sky wax-lyrical, probably on a teleprompter to mention at least 3 times throughout the match how big they are, and how they were good for the win.
Besides the wolves-esque foray of successive corners (2 of which were called incorrectly), I wasn't concerned at all.

Glad that we still have 13 points on them I feel if we'd of lost they might've fancied chasing down 10 points as it is we should be good enough to hold them and the rest off for autos
I know what you mean but sometimes you have to look at the opposition. Villa's pressing play was right up there with the best we've seen at The Amex, harassing players into mistakes all night.
On the plus side we were tough, resilient and at times looked like we could win it. The definition of a hard-fought draw against a team that will be right up there now they've got a top manager to get the best out of a talented squad. 1-1 was about right imho.
I'm half-glass full. We're punching well above our weight in this division and doing brilliantly. Think we need to land the knockout blow this year though as it's just going to get harder and harder.

Agree with this. As it is, Villa now need to keep up their 2 point/game average they've managed under Steve Bruce so far just to reach 80. They'll be in the play offs, but I can't see them being a challenger for 2nd.

Was one of those when Grealish shot wide with the outside of his foot...beat me as to why that was a corner

Yeh it's a shame really. I'd say Villa edged it but also didn't do enough to win it. The way Sky spoke it was like the last 20 mins was the pattern of the whole game! We had them on the ropes a little at the start of 2nd half. Draw a fair result - they certainly didn't dominate the game!

It's a brilliant goal.

Wolves had an endless stream of corners at the end of the 1-0 win a few weeks back.

I think that did have a slight deflection. They were all corners. I watched it on the box last night. (Bad fan).

I was right behind the line of that...maybe a trip to spec savers for me then

Oh, yes. I was there a couple of weeks back. It's only the two for £69 offer that has afforded me the chance to correct you on this one.
