Aston Villa v Rotherham United Match Thread

TS a bit behind. Gather our Delphie has scored! Woo hoo!

[Tuscans]

Westwood needs to add goals....I don't think he ever will

[paul_e]

That goal really was a thing of beauty, that would be on infinite loop if a sky team scored it.

Poor ball by Gabster

Benteke and Okore deep in conversation. Probably the 2 most valuable assets in the next 12 months.

Yes I noticed that as they came out. I am sitting right opposite in lower Witton Lane. They care as it was about play.

What???

[dean saunders left boot]

Really was a beautiful movement for the goal, perfect football. Chuffed for Delph, deserves a goal for looking like a completely different player this season

[olaftab]

Pleased Delph has a goal.

[ozzjim]

It could be argued that we have scored some of the most incredible goals in the past 20 years over the last 16 months.

This is what I kept arguing when people moaned about the season last term, yeah position and results awful, but some cracking, cracking football. 3 great ones tonight.

OOOOO


Nearly again Bennett.

Playing brilliantly.

Delph for Tonev now. No silly red cards needed!

Yep, I remember whole seasons when we never even had an entry on MotD for goal of the month, let alone goal of the year.

Subs ready

[ciggiesnbeer]

Sylla! Come ON SON!

[Axl Rose]

I remember sitting and watching Tranmere at home at this stage last season. Incidentally, Delph scored our first in that game. We look so much better, obviously than 12 months ago-far more zip in our passing, we look so much more dangerous.

Here is the line up and BBC(Daily Mail...BBC would not load) match report from 12 months ago;

Guzan, Lichaj, Lowton, Baker, Stevens (Holman 67), Herd (Burke 76),Delph, Bannan, Ireland, Weimann (N'Zogbia 71), Bent.
Subs Not Used: Given, Delfouneso, Johnson, Williams.

Plays it on the ground and its a first touch strike. He hit it poorly and westwood had to control it. Not a huge criticism, his play to get there in the first place was bloody good.

Good Delph off. Excellent kid, just excellent. Should have walked into the england squad. Poor Roy.
