I was referring to freer regarding the ego. His criticism of Bruse this week was OTT and rediculous.

Bongo, It might help if you could differentiate gumption from ego

We were incredibly fortunate to win this game, that deflection off SJ's heel goes in and we're well & truly on the backfoot - Murphy allowed an unchallenged header when he's the only player in our box with 5 Villa shirts around him. Some really bad decision making from Whelan with his passing that put us under pressure, their number 6 ran the show 2nd half and no-one tracked his runs.
Feels a bit like when Bruce took over, we scraped a run of results largely due to good fortune and the opposition know his approach, making us easy to play against.
Positives - JT's cool head, Snodgrass' working his socks off, Adomah looking very confident, SJ assured in goal.

Conor Hourihane becomes the first #avfc central midfielder since James Milner 09/10 to score 5 or more in a season. Only 9 league games in���� .
Just spotted this on twitter. How ridiculous is that and how bad have we been?

I have been angry for years at the lack of goals from midfield. When you see Hogg, Bannon, Davis and Johnston all allowed to leave and have decent careers and the managers that let them go think Reo-Coker, Erik Bakke, Leonhardson (was that his name?)and Bacuna are better players.

Thankyou Exciled, i too felt positive, as you said we're not the finished article but with a seemingly settled line up at last i can see them gelling more as time goes on and delivering us what we all crave - success and indeed plenty of it!!?
Admittedly there may be a sprinkling of blind optimism on my behalf but hell why not surely as a villa supporter i've earnt that at least!?

Excellent post Exiled!
All the teams that get promoted and indeed make the CL have goal scoring mids. Not a surprising stat of ours but the numbers hit you in the face.
Stoked with the win. Well done Lads.
