Whatever happens from hereon in Deano has worked some magic. We were going nowhere fast until Stoke second half (away). Been a tadge lucky with decisions and the way things have gone, but it all evens out. We have 4 premier players in the team, Mings, Grealish, McGinn and El Ghazi and its now showing.

Has done a tremendous job---- demeanour body language and face show he is loving his job---and speaks sense be it pre or post match---i used to cringe at post match interviews of previous managers---but Deano tells it truthfully as it is no excuses --and is like a breath of fresh air---- nice one Deano keep up the good work.
Don't know if this is even a slightly reasonable thing to say, but my instinct is that he's actually not getting enough credit. For years we've had managers whose man-management was good but tactics bad (MON) or the reverse (Garde), not to mention plenty who seemed fucking miserable at both. He seems the first to combine both elements and it's producing the most likeable Villa team in ages.

Since landing here yesterday at Haven Hafan y Môr I've seen more Villa shirts than those of any other single club.I was in Burnham at the weekend. Same there. Villa shorts everywhere. Dean Smith has made us proud to show our colours again.
