Sam Johnstone had a great game again. It could have been 5 or 6.

Lad I was with yesterday summed it up perfectly as we walked back to the car - watching us trying to attack without a striker was ‘like watching my Nan trying to eat steak’

Christ we are mostly a glass half full lot. That was not a Cardiff like performance. 2-0 was not a true reflection of the game. Derby were not very good and to be honest after our stuttering start I think there is only one team better than us at the moment and having watched them somehow scrape a win on Friday night I’m not even sure about that.  We’ve been unfortunate with injuries in key areas, but we are only a Kodjia away from pissing this league now. I am nothing like as depressed as I have been by some of the defeats of the last 4 years. Rome wasn’t built in a day

The proof isnt there that we would ever do this

I watched a bit of the Cardiff game last night. No great shakes but they dug out a result. It struck me that I know virtually none of their players and this applies to most championship clubs, However, probably half of our squad are very well known to other champsionship fans simply because they have had careers elsehwere. Conclusion, we are poor at finding up and coming, but unknown, bargains from the lower reaches. We would rather pay big wages and fees to well known mediocre prem players at the end of their careers such as Elphick, Jedinak, Whelan, Elmo, Taylor etc

There are various online media outlets that gather the news from official sources eg Football Insider etc.  At least one of them has the headline ‘Bruce Delivers Brutally Honest Assessment of Villa’s Performance’ each week. 

Another emerging theme is his tendency to say he should’ve played ‘x’ or ‘y’ this week.  Well why didn’t you play them then.

He's had a great season. Did Carson have to make a save?

Not of any note, but we were the better team though :-X

Now that’s the bit that fucks me off the most. Playing for us any shot taken from as far back as Lichfield Road had a chance of going in. We don’t take shots.

Who said we were better team? I've not seen anyone say that I don't think.

He made one very good save and was lucky to a defender on the line after being beaten by Snoddy's daisy cutter.
