Fair play to smith signing mings and Hause in January they’ve been quality and I would say the main reason we’re in with a chance.

Isn't smith not particularly involved in the signings? Isn't that the sporting director's role?

What a difference a few makes make. I'd put us favourites for the last playoff spot now, derby are a busted flush, and would you bet against us against any of the others?

[Le Lapin]

Good to have a little bit of momentum. John  McGinn  and Jack are the difference. Bring it on.

[Toronto Villa]

Actually much better Sky highlights that us foreign types can see off Twitter

Didn't see the game but saw the result.  Brilliant.  It's back on.

[BC54 VFC]

Nicely done.

Hope springs eternal.

So much for the Ides of March .

The Ides of March is the 15th, not the 13th!

It's on, like Fat Pat's thong.

Thought Taylor had his best game for some time and linked up well with those around and in front of him.

Been discussing via text with one of my sons what happens when Chester and Tuanzebe are fit. For me, it's Tuanzebe and Mings in the middle with Hause at left back, he's a better option overall then Taylor. Chester would have to be on the bench.

A superb reference and there's not enough Thick of It on this site.

Rest of the league is about to wake up and smell the cock

Hondootedly, Martin O'Nayl, pubehead, delighted you asked that, nobody knows anything, Derry Girls, soda bread, wheaten bread, month of March, hard taym to bayt, Nottingham Forest run Forest run 1 Aston Villa 3. UTV!

To be sure! (apologies for any offence taken by anyone with Irish connections).

I am partially Irish and offended but accept your apology.

Good man O’Laftab

Went to the local to watch the match to be told that the locals wanted to watch a trivial Champions League match. So I had to settle for listening to the more important match on my phone while watching the kickabout .  Do these people not realise what city they live in?

A successful night all round though. In Deano we trust. I can dream now of Jack and John tearing Premier League teams apart next season. Hopefully the dream can become reality now.

Best performance for months.
Mings is just fucking majestic. McGinn and Jack are like salt and pepper, they just go together.
I still worry that any of our 3 or 4 wide players don’t offer anywhere near enough, with Green disappearing for most of that second half.

Given where we were 4 games ago, dare we dream?

Good win tonight and thought we were excellent in the opening stages of the game, but have to agree about our lack of quality down the flanks.  Taylor, Elmo, El Ghazi, Adomah and Green look so poor at times, especially when compared to the likes of Mings, Grealish and McGinn. 

That said, we've had a pretty comfortable win away at a form team and will go into the game on Saturday in good form.

I thought Tuanzebe had gone back as he is due to be out for the rest of the season?

[Risso]

Just got back.  Sat with my Villa supporting mate and his friend, in the opposite home stand to the away fans. Good to see the Villa boys enjoying themselves so much.

A very good performance all round.  Fluke goal for them, and apart from the last few minutes of the first half and the start of the second, they didn't really threaten much.  Mings continued his impressive performances, and Hause was comfortable too. McGinn was class, and just denied his hat trick by the width of the post.

[PeterWithesShin]

Nope, back in training with us.
