Swansea City 0-1 Aston Villa post match thread

[Toronto Villa]

We were average. But did enough thankfully. Well done Conor and thank fuck for Nyland. We haven’t said that much this season.

[Bad English]

3 points. Boxing Day. Well done!

Christmas miracle.

[PaulWinch again]

Got away with that, pretty poor.

Well done Nyland, good performance and great, crucial penalty save.

[Keeno]

Every win we can somehow squeeze out with this bare bones defence is fine by me whichever way they come.

[PeterWithesShin]

Wasn't great at times but a Boxing Day win and a clean sheet.

Just said in match thread but that reminds me of Boro away last season. We won that 1-0 ugly after indifferent run and went on a winning streak afterwards.

Lucky with the penalty but those sorts of things can change seasons.

No issue with winning ugly in our circumstances. Would sign up for another boring 0-1 at Preston.

2nd is still just about in play.

Deano to team in dressing room post match:

"Repeat after me: Clean sheets = wins."

[Taylor]

Bit of a struggle that. Give Nyland the jersey in the FA cup.

[olaftab]

Never in doubt😧

[Toronto Villa]

Live league table has us 10th, 3 points behind Penis' team in 5th.

Fucking Norwich...3-0 down and now without a couple of minutes of injury time left 2-3.

[Deano's Mullet]

Nyland take a bow. Three points is everything.

[Pete3206]

3 points are all that matter. Defensive reinforcements and shake up required urgently during the window.

[Rigadon]

Used the match thread for updates on the game.  Sounded like we were a bit unconvincing.  Thing is, with this defence and without Grealish, winning games against decent (for-the-championship) teams isn't easy.  Credit to the manager and fit players for digging out this result.  Keeps us in contention. Just.

Also seems Leeds have got another late win.  What's theta now, 7 / 8 games won on the trot?  That is the kind of run we ned to go on to get into the top 2.
