Victorious Villa v Drizzle Brizzle post-match thread

MOM Hutton.

You know this is good to see. Everyone wants our players to come good. Its extra nice when someone who has made mistakes in the past has a good game. Hope it continues!

Be interesting to see if the club offer him another year, playing well of late.

Happy for the boys, two wins and clean sheets. Roll on Saturday let's keep this run going.

We still have de Laet to come back for what it's worth, so I'm not sure I really see the point, unless Bruce sees de Laet as a CB.

i know he divides opinion but he's been a pretty steady performer this year. He has decent pace and seems to care. Granted if we are to go up he would need to be moved on but addressing the striking gk issues could be more important

Mid-table Championship club, hard to get excited.

Did we actually deserve to win this one or was it the usual messy shit?

Oh my. What are you like after we lose???

Happy?

Boinging?

Is that a euphamism for bashing the bishop?

They are usually interchangeable.

I've just broken the record for getting home to Shrewsbury from Villa Park: two hours and eight minutes. Goodness knows why the M6 was closed between J7 and J11, and then the M54 between J5 and J6, albeit I did know about that beforehand. Having said that, glad I was there; it felt as though a switch had been flicked early in the 2nd half and Green and Hourihane had excellent games, and Kodjia played like a man possessed. Finally, we showed some pace on both wings and had players making themselves available for the pass. I won't forget my 59th birthday.     

Glad the boys won for you tonight BC54 VFC. My 59th birthday is 4 days before the return with SMA. I think we beat them 5-1 at VP on my 50th, hoping for something similar.

Wasn't there last night so how we played I don't know but a welcome 3 points. Hopefully another 3 on Saturday will give the team confidence to go on and have a decent finish to the end of the season.

nor I, as the bedlam that is the M6 saw me do around 12miles in over an hour and give up - great result though.

Ponderous and predictable in the first half, quick and inventive in the second. An encouraging sign of what this squad is capable of. I think Bruce must have had a word with Kodjia during the break because he went from looking like he was trying to do it all on his own against his old club to a player who remembered he was part of a team.

Thank you. I love Andre' s shimmy and shot.

I thought that Albert had completely missed the ball before CH scored. It fact, it was a perfect pass

Albert drifted in and Hourihane played a lot further forward. Subtle changes but we looked a different side and you could see the tempo and confidence increase after our first.

Could have had more but we effectively blew them away in a 20 minutes spell and then buttoned down to see it out with ease in the end.

Good win, much better second half. Amazing what happens when you pass the ball through midfield and don't hoof it over their heads. We also played at a higher tempo and got bodies forward and scored twice, not hard is it?

Now we're virtually safe I hope we throw the shackles off and see some entertaining games and start scoring more goals.

Bristol City are dreadful, wouldn't be surprised to see them go down without the goals of Abraham. Good support for a Tuesday night though.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Not amazing in the first half (particularly the opening 10 minutes), but very good in the second half.

I thought Green had an excellent game and was really starting to take on opposing fullbacks. That curling shot he had from 30 yards out was really unlucky not to go in and probably would have been our goal of the season.

Pleased that Kodija scored too, shutting up their support who seemed annoyed that a player would leave Bristol City for Villa?!?!

Their players were all bloody criminals too, particularly that Wilbraham who twice clearly put the ball out and both times screamed at the Linesman for it.

I had WM on and they reckon the Brizzle City fans got to him in the first half. Good to hear about the second half though as opposed to the first.

In fairness to him, given his very advanced years he is probably losing it a bit mentally.
