It has been for a while. A draw there isn't a bad result for anyone.

Quite. But we are early in the season and if we are having to bring our best players off after 60 mins every game with no thought of how the game is going then there's something wrong there.

It worked ok last season because we had better players like Charles and Stewart to bring off the bench, so wasn't as much of a problem. In fact even losing Archer is detrimental to us now looking at the depth of our squad. This season the drop off with the subs is huge.

Peretz, Bree, Abbott, Schlotterbeck, Manning, Downes, JWP, Scienza, Azaz, Fellows, Larin. I would give Abbott and Schlotterbeck a run of games now and hope they are able to form a solid partnership because I just don't trust Wood or Stephens. Especially the latter.

Should be captain IMO

Tonda has done a great job so far but his in game substitutions are ridiculous. He admitted that he changes players based on data telling him when they should come off to keep them as fresh as possible for the next game. How about doing it based on how the CURRENT match is going?

Its probably to do with his stubborness and arrogance and how he was basically gaslighting the fans towards the end of his tenure.

As usual he's neat and tidy but just doesn't offer that drive or threat from open play that Charles did.

These pre planned subs fuck me off so much.

No where near the level of Stewart unfortunately. The club have majorly fucked up and imagine it will cost us. Unless they can rectify it in January that is - if it isn't too late.

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.
