[Albion] Bizarrely flat evening

Still, at least you'll be able to get off your pedal stool

What a strange night at the Amex.

So flat on the pitch and also off it.

It started with the teams coming out to a half full stadium and never really got going at all.

Roll on Fulham and a nice leisurely Saturday 3pm fixture.

Yes, very strange all round, considering how fans were looking forward to this game. Perhaps it might be just down to the fact that it is such a rush to get there, fighting trains and traffic, that one is just not really up for it. Sounds silly, I know, but it was so flat. I was amazed also at the amount of empty seats at the start -were there severe transport problems? We set off from Hastings at 5pm, and arrived far too early - even from Lewes to Falmer was absolutely no problem, so even more astonished.
The club seem to have stopped the full fanzone of late -this at least helps to get crowd going.

Agreed. Very strange atmosphere last night.

Yep... sadly Stephens was the main cause of our lack of continuity with ball..... I think his head is already at a club up north somewhere.... shame really.

I do have to agree; his passing was poor last night, but whether he knows that he is going, I don't know.

As said three weeks ago. Villa best team in league. We need them or us second as have no chance against them in playoff.

Preventing them from getting two extra points might prove to have been a very useful result. That could have been this season's Middlesbrough home game.

THIS from my view in the North I noticed melts in the east lower standing up turning and clapping the Villa fans

Haha, that made me chuckle. Did they really? Unbelievable. FFS.

Why strange loads of middle aged/old aged fans kids spending most of the time getting food and the plastic generation in numbers! Just because more of them turned up last night does not make for a better atmo!

We must stop this away attendance announcements. It gave their supporters a massive lift and could have cost us the game.

This.

I wasn't claiming it would. I was commenting on the atmosphere in general which I thought was pretty flat.

I ****ing hate international breaks...

So, only Dunk, Duffy, Murray, Sidwell and Bruno competed physically with Villa.

Stockdale was hardly bullied either.....although he'll be disappointed with the goal.

On the pitch it was flat as a pancake. Off it I thought the atmosphere was great from both fans for the first 15 mins or so. We shut up when they scored and they shut up when we did but I still think they were the loudest away fans so far this season.

Did anyone else notice that the stadium music and announcements were oddly low in volume? Sussex By The Sea was drowned out and folk seemed to lose timing and it didn’t sound as powerful as usual.

Terrible performance Villa were shit and we deserved to lose. Didn't get going at all no composure passing or build up just panic and run. Very poor but a point after that shit is good I suppose.

Villa were NOT shit

I wish Stockdale would come of his line occasionally and catch a few crosses

There were severe transport problems on the A23 which was closed. The fanzone wasn't played last night because of the Remembrance tribute. Some of it was played at half time instead.
