When I saw the headline 'Gabby: I Don't Want To Be A Black Cat', I thought 'but you are one, Daddio'.

Ha ha. Very good.

Great to finally see a performance from Gabby again in the league. Keep it up and we can have a much better season than a lot of people predict.

Worth 10 Darren Bents, Villa Legend.

Lets just get behind the Gabby Benteke partnership. Bent is a brilliant striker, and one we could have done with when we were trying to hit the glass roof through under O'Neill, but he does not suit the current set up at all, Benteke does. Gabby needs to get back to getting 12-15 goals in all competitions, and playing like he has for the last couple of weeks consistently. He looked good today and got himself in a scoring position for once. Does that more often and he will get a fair few goals off Benteke.

I've been a critic of his but delighted with his last 2 games-keep it up gabby , well done.

I usually defend Gabby but even he's been testing my patience the last few weeks.

That said, even during his good runs of forms, I always made the point he never really clicked with any of the strike partners he played with, even Carew. Just seemed happy doing his own thing.

The promising thing here is that him and Benteke look to have a good understanding developing there and they're both chipping in with goals now.

Couldn't agree more with this. I think he difference between Benteke and Carew is that Benteke's a much smarter player who can do more with his feet. Carew was a battering ram but I see Benteke as more aware of other players on the pitch and a better passer of the ball.

Well said Brian. 

It doesn't have to be Gabby or Bent, but I'd take Gabby any day in a straight swap.
