ON THIS DAY

Friday, 28 September 2018

  • Villa draw for the fifth time in ten Championship matches and now have just one win in eight as Steve Bruce's grip on reality becomes increasingly tenuous and increasingly hard to watch.

  • Villa climb to 11th after yet another draw - their 5th in 10 league games - and it already looks like automatic promotion is beyond them for the third successive season. 

  • Once again rather than addressing the reasons and planning the response, Steve Bruce chooses to bring the focus onto himself in his now familiarly self obsessed way of thinking which to most observers can only seem to be a contributing factor in Villa’s failure to learn from their mistakes. 

  • Conor Hourihane makes his 75th appearance in a Villa shirt (64 Starts) to make it W35 D16 L24, 14 Goals, 8 Assists and 14 Bookings so far in his Villa career.

  • Jonathan Kodjia collects his 10th booking in a Villa shirt on his 65th appearance (54 Starts) to make it W27 D20 L18, 23 Goals, 6 Assists, 10 Bookings and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.

  • Former Villa centre back Nathan Baker and former Villa forward Andreas Weimann lined up for Bristol City.

MATCH QUOTES

*Villa boss Steve Bruce* “There is a certain element that think I can’t do the right thing about anything. I know with a club of our size there is expectation. However, it is not a given to come to Bristol City and beat them three- or four-nil. I will get on with the job as always and do the best I can. I know with the squad of players I have that we will be there or thereabouts when it counts.”

Friday, 28 September 2018

Bristol City and Aston Villa shared the points at Ashton Gate after a 1-1 draw in the Championship on Friday night. Bristol City took the lead through Josh Brownhill’s low effort from 20 yards (16), but Villa levelled in first-half injury time through Birkir Bjarnason’s bullet header from Conor Hourihane’s free-kick. Both sides had half-chances in the second half, but neither could find a way through in a dull encounter. It leaves Villa in 11th, with just one win in nine matches, while Bristol City are in eighth, a point better off. Former Villa man Andreas Weimann missed an early chance for the hosts, blazing over with a close-range header, while former Bristol City forward Jonathan Kodjia saw a good chance blocked at the opposite end from inside the box. Bristol City won the midfield battle early on, however, and were ahead as the ball broke to Brownhill on the edge of the box, seeing his low drive fly past Orjan Nyland, who will feel he should have done better. They continued to dominate the first half until Villa’s last-gasp leveller, Bjarnason scoring his second goal of the season with a fierce header from Hourihane’s superb left-wing free-kick. John McGinn saw a finely-struck half volley well saved by Niki Maenpaa in the second half, before Nathan Baker’s header late on was cleared off the line by a combination of Alan Hutton and McGinn. Hourihane struck just wide in the last minute, but it ended goalless as the pressure builds on Villa manager Steve Bruce. Aston Villa manager Steve Bruce: “There is a certain element that think I can’t do the right thing about anything. I know with a club of our size there is expectation. However, it is not a given to come to Bristol City and beat them three- or four-nil. I will get on with the job as always and do the best I can. I know with the squad of players I have that we will be there or thereabouts when it counts.”
