I feel like Matsuki is better suited to the bigger games, where maybe we have less of the ball. The opposite of today.

Hell of a goal that. Papers over the cracks though. Yes Lincoln are well organised but we've been really poor. Lacking any sort of invention.

Apart from Millwall game we've been incredibly average so far this season. Way too many backwards passes.

Most Villa fans are perplexed. Technically he is Konsa's replacement and he can't even get into the Champions League squad..

That's a shame for him to be honest.

No problem with this but really given Larins inability to play consecutive games to a high standard we should've brought in another striker more in his mould, as well as Mubama.

Based on how poor Larin was last night (probably because he looked knackered after 30 mins) I'd start Mubama, especially given we have Swansea next Tuesday who are bang in form. Peretz, Bree, Schlotterbeck, Wood, Manning, Downes, JWP, Matsuki, Scienza, Azaz, Mubama.

Had two shockers tonight but some of his passes into the midfielders/forwards were great. Very much needed because Stephens and Wood just pass the ball between themselves 90% of the time. .

He isn't a bad egg at all. I think you're probably right regarding bonuses

Thought Downes was the standout player yet again. JWP and Matsuki did pretty well when they came on. Just not sold on Dobbin and Mubama at all. Great header from Schlotterbeck but he made a couple of big errors that could've cost us. Larin had a stinker but he's not used to playing 2-3 games in a week. This is where we are going to miss Stewart big time.

Lack of genuine options off the bench very noticeable. It's what we are gonna have to go with though.

A draw would be a fair reflection of the game I think. Always a tough place to go. Decent result if we beat Lincoln Saturday.

We also missed a very good chance. If we sort our passing out we should be fine.

They missed 3 very good chances. I know you're not going to score every clear chance but they should've buried a couple.

Very odd. They've looked a big threat and are unbeaten so far this season. Tbh they should be 3-2 up.
