Gardner looks like he's had his weetabix. More pace

[Tuscans]

He should be off for the 2 challenges he has made.

Come on Villa score some goals.

It was the type of run through midfield we've been crying out for ages. Good start.

We could do with creating a few more chances though. So far, just from set pieces.

Crowd sounds like a cricket match.

We lack a bit of width down the right, real shame Adomah was not fit.

[django]

It's nice to have a bit more pace and movement up front.

Where's the atmosphere from the Rotherham and Huddersfield games gone?

[jwarry]

That bloody injury has bloody done us

[supertom]

Dominating the game but we need to score before half-time and then keep our foot on the gas. One option may be to swap RM with Rudy if we want to be a bit more direct up top. The option is there.
We're just starting to see a lull in the game, this is the EXACT time where Westwood tends to disappear, so I'd really like him to get a grip in midfield. Gary has started well and hopefully he keeps going.

Beginning to think Ayew is more trouble than he's worth

[PaulWinch again]

Come on Villa. We need to win this.

[Matt Collins]

Kodjia offside. First of many I suspect

[ozzjim]

They like to leave their foot in late don't they.

Beginning to think Ayew is more trouble than he's worth

He's probably still our best player. The only problem is we're playing him out of position to accommodate him. He's been lively today without particularly creating much, and he's positionally not disciplined.
