Forestieri too casual, both times IMO.

I like a slam down the middle type pen, not these slow-slow-quick-quick- slow type we see too many of these days.

Terrible pen, insufficient run up and nice height and close to the keeper.  The taker should be fined.

Barry Bannon used to take a good pen. Relegated to second option after [ I'm the hero in this side]  Forestieri it seems.

Considering Bannan has 9 career goals i'm not sure i'd want him as a regular penalty taker. I can only find a record of him taking 2, the one he scored for us against QPR and missing one for Scotland.

Maybe those are the ones I re-run over and over to make me remember how brilliant he was and what a loss he has been to our shot-shy, poor-passing midfield .

Wonderful cross from Amavi....sorry, Pocognoli.......for Jonny-on-the-spot Knockaert to knock in. Good goal.

It's all kicking off now.
Mcmanaman causing all sorts after Fletcher gets himself sent off only minutes after coming on.

Wednesday minus 2 players now.

Can't we re-arrange to play them instead of Bristol City ?

I reckon they'll have served their suspensions by 28th Feb!

Excellent result, especially with two sending off. Time to narrow it to 7 points Villa.

That Hutchinson should have walked against us. What a brainless tackle.
