Review
We were down 3-0 before we knew what hit us today. This was going to be a tricky game with Villa high up and chasing Champions League qualification, while last week's result at home to West Ham seemed an age ago. Our defence was pretty poor. So poor in fact that three subs at half-time was needed. Awoniyi was one of the changes and it seemed for a while that we might just rescue something from the game. Two goals either side of half-time gave us a glimmer of hope but Villa sealed the win on the half-hour and then limited us to just 2 corners in the whole 90 minutes!
