As people have said although he's not at the heights that he showed for Wigan he definitely seems to have got his head down and is working for the team. Dare I say it he's almost like a new signing now that Lambert has gone. If he can continue to improve from now until the end of the season he could be invaluable.
All I'll say in defence of Zogbia is that he's been under two (on the whole) incredibly dour managers in his time here before Sherwood came in. Some attacking players haven't been given enough license or confidence to express themselves. He's certainly shown quality in the last three games, and appears to be getting better with every game. Hopefully he keeps it up. It's last chance saloon for CNZ.

I see what you're saying about our last 2 defensive minded managers. As an attacking flair player your confidence is gonna take a beating over time (I'd not considered that myself being stuck in the mental mire of our appalling football/results). Even so I pretty much thought he'd had his last chance (and was surprised and admittedly underwhelmed that he was recalled in the first of those 3 games). Not sure how long a contract he has left? It would be wonderful to see him reproducing what everyone knows he is capable of in a Villa shirt (it seems like we've been waiting an eternity lol) Fingers crossed - Charles will do the do and repay that not too small transfer fee. It's nice to be talking about him again though. I might even eventually warm to Sherwood at this rate.

He has another year to go. I like that Sherwood is giving everyone a fresh chance, only needs a couple to take it and we benefit. May give a few first teamers a kick up the arse as well to know that everyone is in with a shout of getting picked.

The best thing N'Zogbia did in the game was a defence-splitting first time pass to play in Sinclair during the second half.  Myhill came out quickly to block the shot but if that'd gone in it'd probably be our assist of the season.

You either know very little about football or you think crap means very good.

"Under any circumstances".  What about more circumstances like the goal he set up this weekend?  How sulky did he look when he was smiling ear to ear with his team mates in the photo afterwards?

He was his usual self first half, wandering around aimlessly in no man's land but came to life in the second and was very good until he went off. I think he was clearly told what for by Tim at half time and quite right too

How many good games has he had since he's been here? Under 3 managers, he's not good enough, move him on. Yes he had a good game saturday I won't deny that and I'm glad but no new deal, not from me

He's not had many good games it's true, but if he carries on like he did last Saturday where does that leave "Under any circumstances"?

If he put in the same sort of performances for the rest of the league campaign to ensure our safety and the same in the cup and then went on to put through the pass for the winning goal in the final would you reconsider?
