# 4 Things we have learnt : Wycombe v Aston Villa

**Rudy Gestede needs to put a shift in, or we’ll hold the exit door open for him.**

Throughout the whole game Gestede never got on the end of anything put into the box, it seemed like he would rather be a battering ram for Villa and a lazy one at that.

Woeful performance from former Championship striker.

**Richards at Right Back may have been rusty, but his quality shines.**

Richards played in his natural position of Right Back today, his quality was plain to see today against Wycombe, scoring a goal and making useful darting runs, but it seems that he is very rusty.

May need more game time to adapt back to that position.

**When you’re luck is down, it’s really down.**

Ashley Westwood would feel like he was harshly treated by the ref after giving a penalty away to Wycombe, and by god was it not a penalty.

As you can see.

It just goes to show how when your luck and confidence is off, it can really come and bite you.

**Richardson has found his level.**

When Richardson decides to leave us ultimately for a lower league side – at least today’s game shows he can boss it at League 2 level.

The left back did very little wrong today.
