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.

We looked crap in the first 10-15. Yes they could have been ahead with better finishing. We came into the game after that and have been much the better side. But I’m not going to dismiss that we barely touched the ball early on and they had chances to score.

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

Hogan

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

(not really)

Forgot my gloves but plenty of clapping since the goal. Lots to applaud. Let's finish them off second half Villa.

What chances? One shot that went wide. They've been mince.

Poor game, we score and boss it thereafter so far.

Amen to that.

Oh, and here's hoping your hands are proppa stinging by the end of the match.  :)

OK, can we hold on least to this 2 goal lead this time?
Or score more?

So Johnson has made two changes.  And put Aden Flint up front.  Imagine if we had done that with Samba.

Playing the ball into Hogan from the wings as opposed to whacking it long is so much more effective.
