Guzan is beginning to earn himself a bit of a cult following. A bit like Bozzie once had.

Thick commentator alert: "Alex McLeish was always going to have a hard time, coming from Birmingham." Brace, Brace!

Thank God for foreign commentary on "illegal" internet feeds...

Weimann unlucky again. Just headed away from him.

Was that Holman playing that pass through to Bent, there? Because that was a belter.

It was but wasted on the recipient being Bent and not a natural wide player or someone like Gabby

Vlaar looks in trouble, which would be a problem.

Bent really isn't a very good footballer (technically) is he? Working hard though. Need to grab a second cos they look dangerous down the wings

Weimann looks like he could score I reckon.  Holman seems to  offer everything NRC used to, but more quality

Bent could end up losing his place, as if he isn't contributing, he isn't doing anything much.

Indeed. I don't want to harp on about it, but I can't help but think that Bent would be better off staying as the central target, letting the others take up the wider positions.

I wish I knew where I could get to see Villa games, either on TV or online, for a subscription fee. Happy to pay, but buggered if I can find anything here in France.

Holman did brilliantly then. Great feet and movement.
