We must continue to build on our momentum, and prove that we can look competitive against other teams.

2-1 Villa, Kodija and Adomah to score.

Bristol were under the cosh pretty much all game according to their supporters. I'm not sure how tired you can get watching a magician like Hughes play lovely square balls.

Bloke near me on Saturday was eulogising over Hughes and how he never gave the ball away, all I saw was a player passing it sideways an awful lot, granted better than some of our recent players have managed but I really didn't see what the fuss was about.

Same here. Its easy to pass the ball backwards or square. A bloke near me stated loudly how we were getting out played. I made an equally loud remark that Derby's play hadn't actually saw them force a shot either off or on target.

Apparently Bent having an appeal for a penalty constitutes dominating games according to Scheteve and some on the Holte End.

True. Only Derby player that impressed me was the stocky number 7.

My son pointed out at one stage how long Derby had been in possession of the ball during one spell and when they lost the ball they were still only just inside our half.

Somebody from here on Facebook and friends with me's mate, I think, is a Bristol City fan. He swears that we are going to spank them.

1-1 with a formation less organised than the Price Waterhouse envelope department.

I think we might actually win this one comfortably. As Jedi builds up fitness both the attacking midfield and defence will be able to play better as they will be under less pressure.

Kodjia will want to score against his old club, and I can see Lansbury chipping in.

2-0 to the Villa.

Since my arse seems to be permanently covered in splinters these days (!), I've gone for the draw.

1-1
