[Post Match Thread] Southampton 1-0 Aston Villa
Southampton beat Aston Villa 1-0 courtesy of a 2nd min goal by Adam Armstrong. It was a good volley in fairness. Villa played very poorly in the first half, clumsy play, no communication, nothing. It improved in the second half, but it was not enough. This is Villa's 5th straight defeat in a row. The most defeats ever under Dean Smith.
In the second half Villa were much improved, but for me Cash was phenomenal. In the first, he had to mark both Armstrong and Walker-Peters as he got little to no support from Bailey. In the second, he was giving it his all. Mings also played a good game after last weeks omission.
This defeat keeps us at 15th, but we could drop as low as 18th by the end of the weekend (unlikely). 10 points from 11 games. Will Smith be our manager in two weeks time? We'll see
