Aston Villa v Only Rotherham United Post-Match Thread

tbf I thought Bacuna did really well today, DB

[Lizz]

Excellent result, really enjoyed today.

tbf I thought Bacuna did really well today, DB

His name was greeted with a smattering of boos at the start but most just kept clapping. I thought he did very well and has obviously decided to ensure his Champion's League medal the long way and stay with us until we win it in 2019

Also Sheffield Wednesday's performance at Norwich showed they're going to be very competitive.

Hopefully we will get bored with it by May Lizz

I think the redemption of Bacuna is nearly complete.

Great attendance, too. 33,286

Which is about 9,000 more than Smethwicks average last season.

I know there aren't many big clubs around but 52,000 still showed up for toon. Poor bastards.

If the Albion and Noses didn't exist we'd get that too.

It's a bit of a bonus they do exist then. They exist to keep the riff raff away!

[LukeJames]

You know alls well with the Universe when we score from a throw in!

[LukeJames]

Probably way to early to make such a suggestion but the results may have gine our way today with Derby and Newcastle losing, Norwich and Sheff Weds drawing.

[Matt Collins]

I was sceptical about the line up. But it would be really nice if we could go a good chunk of the season playing so many attacking players

Still want a new no 9, plus a proper defensive midfielder

Huddersfield will be more of a test.  But if we can rack up back to back wins that would be great. The real test will be next time we go a goal behind though.

How did Tish and Westwood play?

Bacuna, Gestede and particularly Westwood did well. Everyone did but after all the stick they've taken those three deserve some credit today.
I enjoyed it, as much for some of the quality play as the result, but I don't think we'll come up against many poorer teams than Rotherham.
Only negative for me was the pretty embarrassing "Shit support" and "empty seats" chants from the Holte End. Singing it at Hillsborough and Luton was bad enough but we had about 8,000 empty ones today.
I stood in front of a grown man at Luton the other night who joined in with "is this a library". For fuck's sake, we were Aston Villa at a 4th division club, not a non-league club at Old Trafford!

[LukeJames]

I hate the 'shit support' chant, I cringe every time.

[Percy McCarthy]

That's it for these pants.

Boot, stamp, face, forever? George Orwell, your boys took a hell of a beating!

If there is hope, it lies in the Villa.

Went to Rd gym this morning and when I got changed I realised I hadn't any fresh pants so I've been going camoflage all day. This is obviously the secret to Villa winning. From henceforth I shall be sans undervetements for every Villa fixture. You can thank me at the end of the season.

Commando surely?

I enjoyed it. I can't remember the last time I posted that. And Traore will fucking murder this league if we keep him fit.

How did Adama get on?

15 minute cameo but at one point he skinned half of their team. So the defence tried to kick him off the balk and bounced off him. They hardly left their box for 5 minutes afterwards just in case he ran at them again.

Excellent cheers.
