Already making excuses for Sherwood, TV? 

You're right though but winning is a nice habit.

Nah, just too old to change in trying not to be negative although following this lot doesn't half test it. Yes, winning is a good habit which is what we have to create off course. For too long we have gotten used to winning which is something Sherwood identified earlier on. Lambert accepted and embraced it. I never want to go back to those days.

I wish we had gotten used to winning.

Rico - okore -- donaciaen - Bennett

Gardner. Westwood Sanchez Tonev

     Kozak.        Gabby.

You wouldn't think that to read some people's comments following a pre-season defeat.

AVTV was £5 last year for the pre season matches. £24 this year. 

[BC54 VFC]

AVTV was £5 last year for the pre season matches. £24 this year. 

At 380% that increase is slightly ahead of the current YOY CPI rate of 0.1%.

I had no idea who Mason was so looked him up - http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aston-villa-portugal-lowdown-18-year-old-9636558

Richards as CB I presume?

The midfield out there shows we still need a fair bit of strengthening even with Delph and Gueye still to comeback.

[Richard]

Where's Westwood ? Sanchez will still be on his hols I'd think

[cdbearsfan]

I've heard of Mason but who's this Gil bloke?

[OCD]

Almost feel sorry for Mason in that midfield. Looks like he'll be the only doing the defensive duties.
