[berneboy]

Won't it be 11 points from 7 games?

The then last four I'd guess so you're both right!

I'm talking, quite specifically, about how this result can be a decent one depending on what follows. We beat Norwich and we don't lose away, grand. That's how you win titles. But 5 from 5 isn't good enough. Win the next two as we ought to and it's 10 from 4.

Ah. I see.

Perhaps that's why some people consider it a bad result then? With what went before it (4 points from previous 4 games)?

Bristol played well and are a v good team. Therefore a good effort from Villa, and really enjoyed seeing how hard the team worked. After years of watching the likes of Benteke, Bent, McCormack and Heskey walking around it is great to see a team wanting to wear the shirt.  The support was again tremendous and right behind their manager; they can see the improvement.

Yeah, and that Westwood guy, what a player.

Both Newcastle and Brighton won at Bristol city last season

Though they picked up one point between them at home against the same side

Bristol City will struggle to finish top 10 so I don't get the very good side claim. That's for teams like Cardiff and Wolves.

Yeah Benteke was rubbish wasn't he.

Also whatever you think of them Heskey and Bent always gave it their all when playing.

[PeterWithe]

I thought we played decently and gave them very few chances, we we're a little let down by the two wide players who both had poor games and hence starved Davis of anything to attack, he did very well again particularly in the second half and gave Baker a tough game. I see at as two point dropped mind.

I agree. They worked hard, but you'd expect that. If we'd set out to attack at the start, rather than try to hopefully nick a win, we'd have won the game. We allowed them to look ok because we set out in a negative way.

Surely not. He used the words 'therefore' and 'tremendous'.

[dave.woodhall]

This is getting beyond a joke. Someone makes one comment that isn't as pessimistic as usual and immediately they get called a Nose or a troll.

[kippaxvilla2]

The ridiculous references about past players is usually a sign.  I was quite positive about us for once and I'm definitely not a nose.
