Villa hosted Middlesbrough today(sic) knowing victory would see them jump into the Championship’s top six for the first time since September.They are also targeting four consecutive wins for the first time this season, with Smith hoping they have hit form at just the right time.“It’s very important to be winning games in March, April and May,” he said. “We’re hoping that we haven’t given ourselves too much to do with the points we dropped in January.“We have to move forward and look ahead now. There’s nine games to go, we need three points in each game.“The results and performances have given us that confidence.“Now is a great position to try and build some momentum, which we have done. But we can’t be complacent, we have to keep that going.”

I don't want to tempt fate - although fate is past it and proper shit nowadays - but I think we can win the next two. We are exactly the kind of side that managers like MON and Pulis don't know what to do with. I apologise for the now inevitable defeats.
We went 6th after beating Rotherham on the Tues, were 7th after the Weds games.
Every chance Boro could drop out of top 6 now as only 3 points between them and 10th!
