I can kind of understand his frustration in a way. He was playing in the Champions League before he came here and now he can't get in a Championship side. I like him a lot though. I'm not one for changing a winning team but I'd be tempted to start him in the next couple of games.

There was an odd moment, I think before he scored, when he broke with the ball and Grealish seemed to expect for him to give him the ball. Instead he dropped his shoulder and went on a run.  I do hope it’s just his cool Viking manner, and not that he’s sulking.

Listening to the WM phone in on the way home.....it still managed to be a Doghead love in, and apparently they have been the greatest team in England all season.
 One Dingle phoned in and said although they lost it ‘wasn’t a 4-1’ game’.

Errr....if fucking was, we won 4-1.

I like the fact we are really putting teams away. 5 against Bristol, 4 against Wolves. These are the types of results that other teams start noticing.
Cardiff will be looking over their shoulders nervously now.

I should stop watching games at half time more often. Could only see the second half on C5 highlights as I had to go out, but what a second half, didn't see that coming in the first half. With hindsight though, for all the possession they had in the first half, they didn't really trouble our goal. Grabban adds a new dimension for us, runs his socks off and has that touch of quality to his finishing. Glad BB got his goal, feel like he deserves a run in the team.

On a side note, never given Wolves a second thought in all my years, but a few weeks ago I met a friend of a friend down here for the first time, he's from that part of the world and is a Wolves fan, after hearing I was a Villa fan he came over all smug and a bit pleased with himself, so that results for him !!

The way it is going I don't think they will be looking over their shoulders to see how we are doing they will be focusing their sights on Wolves and looking to go above them.

What pleased me as well about yesterday was the pace and stamina shown right until the end - not bad for a side with 8 players aged 29 and over !

They will, but there will be some nervousness as they also have to visit VP.  I reckon they'd have preferred a Wolves win as that would have cemented second place for them.

equally it must give them hope that they can catch Wolves - a  13 point advantage whittled down to 3 in a few weeks.

Though we beat them, Wolves have very two winnable games next, whereas Cardiff have two tricky away games, they could easily drop 4 points. Fingers crossed to us being 2nd this time next week.
