    Injured again Yub. Jedinak with his leg amputated is still better than Whelan imo.

    Amazing amount of negative views after our 2nd wins on the bounce. Views created by ego and not fact,

    Being our prominent luminary on Villa & astute student on Mr Bruce's (bewildering) strategies

    Care to explain w/t/f were the positives ?

    Did your myopia prevent you from seeing Forrest played us off the park for the whole of the second half ??

    Once again we just scraped home -contrary to your feelings back in La-la land, the relief around Villa Park was palpable as the referee blew his whistle for full time

    Apart from Jimmy Danger’s performance & as mentioned earlier “a win is a win”

    The only real positive
    NO cheffing Gabby !

    I do not believe that Forest ‘played us off the park’. Stats can be misleading, and can support any agenda. The possession stats show them with 64%, most of which we conceded to them as they were in their own half, stroking the ball across the back four. Do teams get extra points at the end of the season for possession stats? Can teams win matches stroking the ball across their back 4?
    They had two 10 min productive spells at the beginning of each half and scored once. We had 3 or 4 spells and scored twice, with a rusty returning CF alongside a 19 year old novice CF.
    Our keeper did what he gets paid to do and saved a free kick, theirs didn’t.
    The main ‘stat’ and the only one that counts in football reads that we scored more and WON!!
    So on to positives?
    3 more pts
    Another 80mins under Kodjia’s belt
    Hourihane finally finding his feet
    Settled starting X1
    Momentum
    Overall positivity around the club, training ground and 1st team (and some fans) growing
    I really looked forward to a Villa match for the first time in YEARS!!!!
    I was still confident of winning after they equalised
    I’m happy that we won
    I celebrated the goals and the final whistle (instead of the horrible ‘PHEW’)
    I can see improvement, not the finished article but improvement.
    There’s too much searching for negativity going on, we’ve had reason to sulk and criticise for the last ten years. We achieved the object of a football match, we scored more than the opposition, we won!
    FCK the statman, ONWARDS & UPWARDS

    My views are not based on ego but purely on fact! bruce took off davis, the only focal point for the long punts forward and put on the spurs kid... then we started punting it forward again which meant forest just kept regaining the ball. i could see whelan and snodgrass were shot by 60 mins... that is not ego just observation, bruce is paid to notice such things... this is what worries me.
