It's Dan Moyland here with Michael Normanton and Dean Smith as we analyze a 1-1-draw at Villa Park. Don about you, but I feel like in the context of the day, it's two points dropped because it always feels like that when you concede a late goal, but in the context of the season, it's a good point picked up. You'd also would probably feel more like that had you not gone for your nervous poo when Lucas Mechre was heading at the goalkeeper from a few yards out. There's quite a lot of just sort of nervous sitting around there as well. Just killing time. I wrote it down 64 minutes. Dan threatens nervous poo. 70 minutes. Dan goes for nervous poo. Yeah, if that had gone in. It's a weird game because... I haven't seen it. Not any of the game. No, I didn't see Metych's chance. Yeah, because we had the better chances in the game. Yeah. Probably. And when that chance happened for Metscher, me and you were saying, that's the best chance of the half. Yeah, regardless of how much they had had some running and stuff.

I want to stick up for Metro a little bit though. I think that's maybe tougher than the

co-coms made it sound.

What actually happened?

Diving header.

We worked quite nicely.

It was stack out to Bogle.

Crossed a really, really good cross.

One of those that kind of cuts out the

defense and Metro was in at the back post.

And it was a free header. It was a free diving header. Was it diving? Yeah. Right. Well, as long as you hit the target, then you've done your bit, haven't you? And because Martinus was able to see it coming, he does well because he kind of closes the angle rather than he doesn't just run across his line. he runs out to him as well, so he kind of blocks it off.

It's a good save.
