A sure sign of success when we are attracting plastic tourists to a game vs the Noses. Hold on to your selfie sticks...

Nicely done Dave

Good point about Jedinak.  We've looked a little shaky at the back in the past couple of weeks but he shored it up for us today.  I'd like to see our record when he's played in that position since he's been here.

As usual a good article Dave, bang on about Jedinak as the ball seemed to just come to him yesterday although as much of that was due to his effort than anything else.

Very good team performance and always means that bit more when you know on a personal level it’s been a shit week for the manager.

On arriving near the ground yesterday, the first voices I heard were two people chatting in German whilst walking up Nelson Road

Great read.

The not worrying anymore about throwing away a lead for the first time seemingly this century is an astute observation.

I admire your restraint Mr W, it must be difficult writing up a match summary for Bham Press when one side of the same city has outclassed the other side on and off the pitch to such a monumental extent.

Maybe football people from across Europe still want to witness a real Derby game that's not been totally sanitsed by Sky and the prawn sandwich brigade. There's a genuine, earthy, realness for Villa v Blose that makes it special IMO.

There is and I don't want sanitisation
