Possession is over rated . It's more important we just stay on our feet.

I'm more interested in shots on target than possession. And when we accumulate "no shots" we can all relax in knowing Paul thought we were excellent.

Tell you what, if it brings about another afternoon of football as exciting and exhilirating as last weekend's then I might have to start watching a more unfulfilling club.

I'm just praying, possibly naively that one extra week of a different coaching staff brings about our advancement beyond our own half way line and we can actually pass to each in the opposition half. I think they'll need an additional week to get to addressing shooting at the opposition net. Week 4 will be shooting at the opposition net with accuracy.

I have a feeling something amazing is going to happen as a result of a Tonev shot before the end of the season.

My mate and I were counting and between the 23rd and 38th minute on Saturday we didn't string 3 passes together in a row. And we were including clearances and flick-ons in that.

I genuinely think we can go one better and not manage 3 in a row in an entire half.

Believe!

And we can become indignant when we feel Villa's incredible efforts during this difficult time are not being recognised.
