HT. After a crap start where we were lucky not to be behind by a couple, much better in the last 25 min

Really good performance once we were in front.
Villa attacking and creating chances.

What a difference a goal (or 2) makes. :)

Fingers crossed for more of the same in the second half.

Much better passing and movement towards the end of the half.

Lucky not to behind? They've not had a shot on target.

They look bang ordinary and we've grown into the game. Absolutely bossed them since the goal after nothing in it and we should be 4-0 up.

The header leading to that was lovely. Who was it?

It would be nice to see us control the play and tempo now. Keep the ball, limit the errors, make them chase us.

We need to sign Duncan Norvelle.

Top, top post.

LOL. Stick him on at the end of the game to wear them out. We can hit them on the break.

Hogan

Maybe there's something in the "launch the ball at Hogan's head from anywhere on the pitch" tactic after all.

2-0 up, comfortable towards half time, their centre back on a booking, young attacking options to bring on against their tiring defence later. What could possibly go wrong?
