Aston Villa v Only Rotherham United Post-Match Thread

[Toronto Villa]

He'll be sold to Burnley or once we have a replacement. My guess anyway.

One paper today had Burnley signing Steven Defour in midfield for £6m, so can't see Westwood going there if that happens.

Just seen the highlights on the awful C5 Championship highlights programme - all 1 minute 15 seconds of them. Thank goodness they had Alan Curbishley and Gary Megson to provide some insightful analysis. Not

I was looking forward to the highlights all night, I settled down, put my feet up and it was over before I blinked. What a joke!

Guess there'll be longer highlights on AVTV but not sure where else

Westwood was anonymous today again. I'm not sure where we go with him once we sign a replacement.

I thought he was very quiet first 15-20 minutes but was excellent afterwards. He kept the ball moving and didn't give it away cheaply.

Think the two centre backs will be a superb partnership, must be the best in the division by a country mile. I am not a massive fan of Ayew but thought he was excellent today and played as part of a team.

Westwood's a big bag of nothing, minus the bag.

Do you think he was poo today?

Westwood stood off in the first half and allowed the Rotherham midfield to dominate. It was very frustrating to watch. I know it's a cliche on here but he was doing a lot of pointing instead.

First 15-20 minutes I cant disagree but not afterwards IMO

[Clampy]

It feels nice to win a game, it's been too long. The goal before half time was great because it meant they had to come out attack which helped us on the break. Only criticism is that we should have scored more than we did but let's hope this is the start of some much needed confidence rebuilding.

I thought Tshibola looked great today though. A real find hopefully.

Excellent might be a bit strong, but I thought he was fine today and did little wrong.  I did notice, however, he was still second to a lot of balks in midfield and I do think we could do with a more physical presence in there.

Yes, good energy and great play for the first goal. Positioning will get better with experience

Tshibola has a physical presence and think he will improve with a few games behind him

Whilst Westwood is far from ideal, I think it would be a major mistake to let him go now. For me he offers far more than Gardener. Unless we're buying someone who is a clear improvement we need to keep him.

What I struggle to understand is the clamour for Traore.
