Can't believe I'm posting the match thread on match day. Is no-one interested? We have a new owner, subject to EFL approval and there's a thread for comments on his takeover, so on with the match.
Can't see anything but a drubbing again. Villa can't afford to lose if they are to maintain they're playoff chances and we are all but relegated.
3-0 to Villa, could be more.

I think the lack of posting about today's match just sums up the season.
The passion has been drained from us by appalling management and a terrible owner. We are just drained - waiting for the final kick in the teeth today.
Alan Nixon is hinting at a "surprise debut" today - can't think who that can be?
Anyway, I think today is the final nail in our championship coffin - 2-0 to Villa

If I thought it was demoralising to watch Wanderers on i-follow all season, that is nothing to actually attending the game. Today was my first visit to the Reebok this season and I’m rather happy that it will be the last.
An uninspiring selection from Parky, so no surprises there and a first half in which both teams seemed content to snooze in the beautifully warm sunshine. Villa came out with more purpose in the second half and really had a lot of joy down the flanks. Both Taylor and Brockbank were exposed and eventually the first goal duly arrived, headed home by the hardly statuesque Grealish. Cue Villa gaining confidence and us shrinking ever more into the panic mode of damage limitation.
I just don’t see what Parky is trying to do and, looking at the players, I’d hazard a guess that they don’t either. For me Alnwick was a poor choice, as were Hobbs, Taylor, Donaldson, O’Neil and, above all, Buckley. Parky may claim that his plans were disturbed by early injuries to Wheater and O’Neil, but he’d have no grounds to do so.
A tactically one dimensional, uninspiring, passionless and therefore poor manager + a demoralised, toothless, disorganised and therefore poor squad = relegation.
We got what we deserved.

In a way im glad Parky lost again. Lets hope any talks of him being here next season are gone.
The team selection was just odd. A mix of youth and useless.
When the pressure was really off and there should have been a feel good factor we got a single shot on target, at home again.
Jurassic Parkinson is without doubt the least ambitious and worst manager weve ever had. Bassini improve your image instantly and free us of this man.

We went expecting a defeat. The team shaped up a little in the first half and then capitulated. Thank goodness Villa declared at 2-0.
The manager brought in a youngster in Brockbank so credit there but what is the point in playing Williams, Connolly, Donaldson, Buckley – who will all be gone next season – I Hope!
One shot on target from Donaldson. I think that was it for our attacking. Buckley messed up when their keeper dropped the ball under pressure from Magennis and Williams hit 2 weak shots wide. Not much of an attacking show as usual.
We defended reasonably in the first half. Brockbank headed brilliantly off the line when it looks liked Villa had scored. Second half we just made our usual mistakes which again cost us the game.
Connolly stood still as Abraham ran round him and away down the right to centre. Alnwick misjudged it and there was absolutely no one marking Grealish in the middle for his header. Where was Hobbs, Beevers, anybody? Shockingly bad.
Second goal down to an appalling attempted headed back pass from Hobbs. It fell short of Alnwick and did not even go in the correct direction and we were just so slow defensively to stop the goal.
The match summed up our season. Shocking attackwise and slow ponderous defending.
An awful season.
I heard Alan Gowling on Radio Manchester saying he hoped Parkinson would be allowed to be manager next season – GOD FORBID! We have had 2 years of turgid, mind numbing, defensive football. I can’t stand any more.
Marks
Alnwick - 5 Reasonably OK – a bit iffy on first goal. Dropped a couple of crosses but goalkeeping is not where are problems are.
Brockbank - 6 Decent debut. First half good. Got stretched second half.
Hobbs - 3 Oh Dear. He is so slow of thought. The second goal was down to an appalling header back to the keeper which fell short.
Wheater - 5 Ok then injured.
Taylor - 4 He is just too slow unfortunately.
Connell - 4 Probably his poorest game so far. Again, the only one who passed along the floor but his dead ball work was just bad – overhit endlessly.
Williams - 4 Tries hard but really not good enough. Two weak shots wide in the second half but for the majority of the time he chose to pass backwards. Relegated from this division for two successive seasons. Says a lot about him.
Connolly - 3 Badly at fault for the first goal when Abraham just ran round him to get the centre in. Seem more intent on kicking Grealish.
O’Neil - 3 Injured early on but no real impact up to that stage.
Buckley - 2 I am fed up of saying this. Totally anonymous apart from being too slow to get a shot in when their goalie dropped the ball.
Donaldson - 2 Another who contributed nothing. He is past it. Very very poor.
Magennis - 2 He is not a good footballer. Win occasional headers but his control with the ball at his feet is embarrassing.
Oztumer - 4 Given the last 15 minutes and at least made a few decent passes. Been totally wasted by the manager this season.
Beevers - 5 Got caught a few times second half.
