Victorious Aston Villa v Derby Post Match Thread.

Won ugly.  Well played.  Unbeaten runs are started by such results.

[Richard]

Sometimes you just need to grind out a win, so am delighted it's finally come and we can start to forget about relegation and have a good end to the season.

[AlexAlexCropley]

A victory in all but name.Flaccid and inept.Felt like a loss.

[PaulWinch again]

Desperately needed that win. Hopefully we can kick on now.

[itbrvilla]

Hopefully they will grow in confidence.  Main issue is lack of movement (the villa way) and lack of numbers when getting forward.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Exactly how I feel.

[KevinGage]

The perfect away performance.

Don't let a little matter like the fact we were at home get in the way.

But Christ, a win is a win is a win. Play like that, I'm not sure another one will be coming around anytime soon.

Odd, I thought only a loss feels like loss.

29% possession at home is not the way to succeed long term, but the win was all that was required today.

[django]

A picture of our win.

A victory in all but name.Flaccid and inept.Felt like a loss.

A win in name only, more like.

I'm not normally a miserablist but that was a fucking shocker. If it's the start of an upswing then all well and good, but we can't be spending the money we have and play like that with any regularity.

[Goldie.7]

A solid, determined win slightly dampened by Bacuna's stupidity.

[jwarry]

Sounds like Tone is choked

[Ian.]

Excellent, not the best in terms of quality but they worked hard, battled well and ground out the result. Well done, happy with that.

As an aside Bacuna didn't deserve a red, the fucking linesman did.
