I was hoping we'd go up. Frank would go with a massive payoff for us and we'd nick Bielsa.

If you ever want a board to disintegrate ie Leeds, bring it on.

Igor, huh!?! What do you mean?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
When I saw the team sheet I said on the thread, that team is not winning a play off.

I'm just back home from the match and Igor I agree totally with you. We couldn't believe the starting 11, why would anyone pick Bennett to play the loan striker role when you have Waghorn and Marriott. In the second Leeds match we went forward quickly, today we were passing it along the back 4 in the 1st half. I'm really disappointed with the first 65 minutes till we had the best team on.
I've said it before hundreds of times.....Lawrence was rubbish today, he had his one good match out of six versus Leeds. I hope I never see him in a Rams shirt again. Even Jozefzooom showed him up, he got some good crosses over.
Frank made a terrible mistake with the team today, but for some reason I want him to stay with us. Roll on next season.UTR.

I tried my best to back TL as much as possible this season but even after the Leeds win I wanted him dropped for the final but knew if I stuck my head above the parapet it would be shot down.
Fin said it early doors we missed Holmes but to leave two goal scorers on the bench was criminal for that length of time.

I didn’t like the selection either but it maybe it could have worked had Huddlestone had a decent game. He looked very rusty and off the pace. I thought Bennett put in a very good shift considering how the game went. I thought Josefzoon was awful. Their full back was tired and slow but Zoon was scared to take him on for pace.
Easy to criticise selection but man for man and also as a team over the season Villa have been better than Derby. Lampard has made great use of what he has had to work with. We gave it a decent go and for all the talk about the team that was picked, the goals were caused by simple mistakes by Bogle and Roos, two young players who have had good seasons so this is part of their meaning curve.

I didn't like the starting 11 but I don't have the medical reports etc which Frank has. I would still have started with Marriott rather than Bennett.
We didn't get the rub of the green today I'm afraid. El Ghazi's goal came off his back, could have gone anywhere and looking at the replay McGinn appears to handle the ball before he headed it.

Roos should have taken his head off first and worried about the ball after, he wimped out and it cost us, simple.

Not for the first time this season either, if Carson is surplus to requirements then Roos is not the answer.
Still feeling deflated, especially as we had to go 2 down to start playing. Anyway off on my holibobs now 👋
