Match Timeline

🗒️ | 3’ Since kick off Ipswich haven’t touched the ball as Villa make pretty shapes in the opposition half before Tielemans shoots a dipping shot over
🗒️ | 5’ Still all Villa but poessession is now further back
🗒️ | 6’ Kalvin Phillips falls over and Amadou Onana is punished triggering Ipswich’s first goal, poor refereeing by Attwell even before the ultimate punishment
🥅 | 7’ Goal, 0-1, (Ipswich Town), Rory Delap. Amazingly Villa fall behind yet again but Emiliano Martínez probably shouild have done better at his near post
🗒️ | 11’ Still all Villa posession since the goal before Torres goes down in the area from a faliling Ipswich defensive arm
🗒️ | 13’ Still all Villa as Watkins is barged off the ball in the penalty area…. old fashioned but usually a liability these days
❗ | 14’ Chance! Pinball in the box after a poor defensive clearance and Villa have a chance….
⚽ | 14’ Goal!, 1-1, Morgan Rogers, Assist by Ollie Watkins
🗒️ | 16’ Villa are facing yet another team that niggle away, shirt pulls, stray elbows, kicks and then go down way too easily under legitimate challenges
🗒️ | 17’ A really strong cross in from Ipswich, they are looking stronger and more connected than the firat 15’ but Villa are still dominating possession and the patterns
🗒️ | 21’ More Ipswich play around the Villa box but it goes nowhere as Villa break and Watkins is cycically brought down on the touch line to prevent a breakway, free kick but no action from referee Attwell
🗒️ | 22’ Youri Tielemans is punished for an offence that really wasn’t, Tielemans had been remonstrating with Attwell earlier about his awareness
🗒️ | 24’ A ridiculous push on Tielemans 30 yards out right in front of the refereee, a free kick, no caution and you get the feeling Ipswich are getting bolder in their challenges because of it
🗒️ | 25’ No free kick for Rogers despite being brought down in a comming together before he is immediately punished for running across a player’s path who hits the ground
🗒️ | 26’ What could have been a lovely move is squandered by a stray midfield pass with spaces wide open for Villa to attack
🗒️ | 28’ Villa playing it around the Ipswich box again but no openings
🗒️ | 29’ Incidentally the hoardings around Portman Road read like diseases ‘HALOITSM’ ‘HALOCRM’ ‘HALOPSA’ …there’s a brand marketeer somewhere that needs sacking
🗒️ | 30’ Still all Villa but Ipswich are proving adept at interrupting flow with last ditch legs
🗒️ | 31’ A first bit of wingplay from Leon Bailey sees him receive the ball back and the chance to deliver a teasing cross….
⚽ | 32’ Goal!, 2-1, Ollie Watkins, Assist by Leon Bailey. A perfect cross from Bailey is straight onto Watkins’ head and Villa lead.
🗒️ | 34’ Diego Carlos is penalised and Ipswich have a free kick on the edge of the area, it’s cleared to Kalvin Phillips outside the box and Martínez puts it behind at full stretch
🗒️ | 36’ Leon Bailey is bundled to the floor in front of the referee but it takes an age for Attwell to award the free kick
🗒️ | 37’ Martínez saves Villa with an excellent save from the onrushing Delap an attack brought about by some strangely short play in the middle of the park from Villa.
🗒️ | 38’ A purely natural leverage elbow from Watkins catches an Ipswich defender prompting a strong taking to from the referee
🗒️ | 40’ A long ball into the box is just too far in front of Watkins as the ‘keeper collects
🗒️ | 42’ Ipswich win a corner and fair play to the home team, as an attacking team they aren’t awful
🚑 | 42’ Martínez is caught in the face by an Ipswich defender as he collects the ball and is down
🗒️ | 44’ Checks over, Martínez can continue for now, the ball starts with Ipswich in possession in their own half
🗒️ | 45’ Rogers is maimed in midfield and the referee appears not to notice as Villa attack before Ipswich break it up
🟨 | 47’ Rogers is fouled badly, poorly and obviously twice in succession and is clearly frustrated as Attwell finally brings out a card, then another
🕒 | 45’+3 HT Ipswich Town 1-2 Aston Villa
🗒️ | 46’ Villa on the attack immediately before a cut back doesn’t come off and Lucas Digne fouls his opponent, Attwell awards a free kick and takes no action before Ogbene of Ipswich ‘asks’ hims to book Digne and he dutifully does, crazy.
🟨 | 46’ Booking, Lucas Digne, Bad Foul
🗒️ | 48’ Villa’s passing is just a little too long for each other in these early stages of the second half before some lucky ricochets keep Ipswich a threat ahead of excellent and clever defending from Diego Carlos
🗒️ | 50’ Play is very much more subdued at the start of this secoind half as Sam Morsy has the cheek to complain he was fouled. Another stray foot in stymies a Villa build but they regain possession before Ollie Watkins is brought down and the referee ignores it again.
🗒️ | 52’ A loose ball sets Villa free but they cannot make anything of it as Morgan Rogers strikes a really frsutrated figure given his lack of protection from the referee
🟨 | 53’ Ipswich break down the left and another excellent cross is put behind for a corner, Martínez sets Villa away before ex Villa man Tuanzebe scythes down Tielemans in full flow with another stray leg and is deservedly booked
🗒️ | 56’ Villa need to up the momentum right now, Ipswich are there for the taking but there’s no doubt that they are a cohesive attacking threat at times, and clearly build on confidence
🗒️ | 57’ Sam Morsy treads on the back of Tielemans’ ankle and should be off, no action from Attwell
🗒️ | 59’ Villa desperately need a third here so they can play with full fluidity as the Portman Road crowd embarrass themselves calling for a handball on Digne’s midriff…. just as well we’re not in Switzerland
🗒️ | 60’ Fabulous play from Rogers in the middle of the park keeps Villa moving
🗒️ | 62’ Villa playing keep ball again before a stray pass goes straight to the ‘keeper and momentum is lost
🔁 | 64’ Sub off, Morgan Rogers, Sub on, Jhon Durán
🔁 | 64’ Sub off, Leon Bailey, Sub on, Jaden Philogene-Bidace
🗒️ | 66’ More excellent defending from Diego Carlos but Villa need to be far more forceful going forward, they have become quite passive allowing Ipswich to settle
🗒️ | 70’ Well this was coming, another poor challenge from Sam Morsy treading on Philogene’s boot, Attwell seems transfixed and unable to move before blowing for a free kick a good 5 seconds after the challenge, no second yellow, no VAR check, this is normally the point that Attwell’s officiating plummets into total incompetence
🥅 | 72’ Goal, 2-2, (Ipswich Town), Rory Delap. Villa pegged back and they only have themselves to blame. Very poor approach this second half.
🗒️ | 73’ A foot up late challenge on Durán earns Ipswich another yellow card before Ramsey has a stray attempt to put Villa back ahead
🗒️ | 74’ Receiving a knee in the back and Philogene is punished, madness
🗒️ | 76’ There really does look like there will only be one winner now and sadly that’s the home side, Villa are out of ideas, it’s always been a bogey ground this
🗒️ | 78’ Too easy for Ipswich as they regain possession from an aimless Villa long ball
🗒️ | 79’ Villa finally mount an attack but it’s cleared no nonsense into row z
🗒️ | 80’ A desperate, desperate last ditch tackle from Torres prevents Ipswich from going ahead, Villa are in real trouble here
🗒️ | 82’ Villa play it around the box and Durán is fouled right on the edge of the penalty area
🔁 | 83’ Sub off, Youri Tielemans, Sub on, Ross Barkley
🔁 | 83’ Sub off, Ollie Watkins, Sub on, Emiliano Buendía
🔁 | 83’ Sub off, Lucas Digne, Sub on, Ian Maatsen
🗒️ | 85’ The free kick is finally taken by Buendía and it is hopeless
🗒️ | 87’ Villa give the ball away allowing Ipswich to break but regain posession and work it to Philogene but again it’s so easy for Ipswich to win the ball back before Ross Barkley shoots from distance and the ‘keeper makes a comfortable save.
🗒️ | 89’ Ipswich are hoofing it clear now but it only needs to take one lucky bounce and they will be in, such a poor second half from Villa, Bayern Munich is no excuse
🗒️ | 90’+2 All Ipswich, all around Villa’s box, two corners in succession and Villa make a total hash of it to concede a third.
🗒️ | 90’+5 Villa get more than they deserved as the final whistle goes and yet again Villa get stage fright as they are about to clinch top spot.
🕒 | 90’+5 FT Ipswich Town 2-2 Aston Villa

On This Day

  • Villa win for the first time in five Championship games to make it six wins, six draws and two defeats in fourteen League matches under Dean Smith. 

  • Tammy Abraham became the first player to score in 7 successive home games since Pongo Waring in 1932-33 as Villa finally got back to winning ways after 6 games without a victory.

  • Former Villa centre back James Collins lined up for Ipswich having originally signed to play for Villa for the season as a free agent. Having joined Villa for a second time however, Collins injured himself in training and was unable to take part in the early stages of the campaign. As a result Collins ripped up his contract so as not to leave Villa with a financial burden. A leader on and off the pitch.

On This Day

  • Steve Bruce’s Villa lose for the sixth time in seven games in 2017 and in so doing extend their worst run of the season. As a result Villa drop to 16th and a second successive relegation is not impossible to imagine, neither is a third manager of the season as Bruce clearly begins to struggle with the scale of the job. 

  • In truth it already looks like it will require a very quick gelling of the recently and expensively recruited players, rather than anything from the bench, that will stop the rot. 

  • Left back Neil Taylor made his Villa debut aged 28 after joining from Swansea City in exchange for Jordan Ayew in January 2017 to become the 905th player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.

  • James Chester makes his 30th appearance in a Villa shirt to make it W8 D12 L10 and 6 Bookings so far in his Villa career.

  • Leandro Bacuna suffers his 60th defeat in a Villa shirt on his 121st appearance (93 Starts) to make it W33 D28 L60, 7 Goals, 7 Assists and 25 Bookings so far in his Villa career.

  • Nathan Baker makes his 100th start in a Villa shirt on his (108 Appearances) to make it W33 D23 L52, 1 Goal, 13 Bookings and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.

🕒 | FT Ipswich Town 1-2 Aston Villa

On This Day

  • Villa win for the first time in four Premier League games this season to climb to 14th in the table under John Gregory.

  • Forward Luc Nilis, 33, makes his final appearance in a Villa shirt after just 5 games having suffered a sickening and career ending injury in the 7th minute of the game at Portman Road. Nilis who had impressed so greatly already retired with a record of W2 D1 L2 and 2 Goals.

  • In his short time with the club Nilis had shown skill and touch to add a new dimension to John Gregory’s Villa and his loss was felt keenly as those characteristics proved difficult to replace. 

  • Centre back Ugo Ehiogu, 27, makes his 303rd and final appearance in a Villa shirt (286 Starts) to make it W140 D72 L91, 15 Goals, 8 Assists, 39 Bookings and 2 Red Cards across his 9 years in the first team.

  • Ehiogu’s choice to move to mid-table also rans Middlesbrough raised eye-brows at the time and unsurprisingly his career was never to again reach the heights he had seen at Villa. 

  • Ehiogu’s premature departure was surrounded by innuendo but it is believed that he did not see eye to eye with Gregory and the player opted for a lucrative Middlesbrough contract as a way out with hopes that a move to another club of Villa’s stature would result. It didn’t. 

  • Although Villa received £8,000,000 in the deal, a handsome profit on the £40,000 they paid West Bromwich Albion for the then 19 year old, most fans’ preference would have been to have kept the man and foregone the money but the player’s head was turned by a squad full of disruptive influences from the likes of David James, Gareth Southgate, George Boateng, Alpay Özalan, Julian Joachim and David Ginola, all of whom would eventually move on to lesser clubs and careers.

  • Ehiogu’s agitation for a move stood in stark contrast to the behaviour of model professionals such as Dion Dublin, Gareth Barry, Alan Wright and Ian Taylor and illustrated just how haphazardly John Gregory had built a talented, but underperforming squad.

  • Dion Dublin secures his 25th win in a Villa shirt on his 63rd appearance (59 Starts) to make it W25 D17 L21, 28 Goals, 7 Assists and 5 Bookings at a goal involvement rate of one for every 1.80 games played so far in his Villa career.

On This Day

Graham Taylor's Villa have now lost just once in twenty three Division Two games, winning fourteen. Meanwhile, League and European Cup winning Villa forward Gary Shaw made his final appearance aged just 26 before moving on to BK Frem Copenhagen in May 1988. Shaw played for Villa between 1978-79 and 1987-88 making 210 appearances and scoring 68 goals. Injuries had stalled Shaw's career however as he made just 18 appearances over his final four seasons with the club. Villa now boasted just one player who had won the title seven years earlier - defender Allan Evans.

On This Day

Graham Taylor took change of Villa for the first time, after leaving First Division Watford - a team he had taken to ninth in the top flight the previous season - to take over freshly relegated and poorly resourced Villa. Taylor embarked on a major restructure of the club to remedy the multiple poor decisions on and off the pitch since Chairman Herbert Douglas Ellis took over the club after the European Cup triumph in 1982. Right back Kevin Gage made his Villa debut aged 23 after moving from Wimbledon in July 1987 for a fee of £110,000. Central defender Steve Sims made his Villa debut aged 30 after joining from Watford in June 1987 for a fee of £50,000. Midfielder David Hunt made his debut for Villa aged 28 after moving from Notts County in June 1987.

On This Day

Tony Barton's Villa lose successive games and finish the season joint eighth after seventeen wins, nine draws and sixteen defeats in forty two League games this season. Despite the inconsistency that was a hallmark of the season it was with surprise and great regret that this would prove to be the final game for Villa manager Tony Barton; having won the European Cup in his first season and achieved two top ten finishes, Barton was forced to work with an increasingly depleted squad as League title and European Cup winners were sold seemingly without a coherent replacement plan. Indeed Barton’s departure signalled an acceleration of the break up of the squad that had conquered both England and Europe and set the club on an inevitable course of under-performance over the next three seasons as Chairman Herbert Doug Ellis’ senseless policy of destruction bit hard. Sadly Barton would not be around to help nurture a promising crop of youngsters in the Villa ranks including left back Tony Dorigo who made his Villa debut on the final day of the season aged 18 after joining from school football in 1981. More experienced names were on their way out however as Andy Blair made his final appearance aged 27 before moving on to Sheffield Wednesday in August 1984 for a fee of £350,000. Blair played for Villa between 1981-82 and 1983-84 before returning once again from 1985-86 to 1987-88. Meanwhile, full back Eamonn Deacy made his final Villa appearance aged 25 before moving on to Galway United in July 1984. Deacy played for Villa between 1979-80 and 1983-84 making 39 appearances and scoring once. Deacy was the sixth member of the fourteen man League title winning squad to have been sold by Ellis in the two years since winning the European Cup. Deacy’s departure followed those of Kenny Swain, Jimmy Rimmer, David Geddis, Ken McNaught and Tony Morley.

On This Day

Joe Mercer's Villa end the most remarkable of League seasons unbeaten in three having lost twelve of their previous thirteen including a worst ever League run of eleven successive losses. Villa’s final League fixture is their sixteenth in fifty four days after their wildly interrupted season delivered the inevitable fixture list congestion and required Villa to play once every three days in the final two months of the season. As a result, Villa make it fifteen wins, eight draws and nineteen defeats in forty two division one games as a campaign of such promise before the fixture interruption had come completely off the rails following a record for failure that no-one could or would have predicted. That Villa finished 15th in the table, well clear of the drop zone, simply underlined the form they had shown prior to the new year and which made the form of April and May such a shock. Villa’s season wasn’t over however as they now had a two legged final in the League Cup to look forward to against neighbours Birmingham as Villa attempted to deliver a trophy in an otherwise barren season and win the League Cup for the second time in three seasons since its inauguration.
