PH’s Sheffield Wednesday 1-3 Deano’s Aston Villa

[Risso]

Their "dominance" was territorial. We were very sloppy giving it away and that contributed, but bar Fletcher's penalty, they've created what? A Reach curling shot that went a yard wide? Slung in plenty of crosses?

Not exactly Villa in full pomp and the likes of Derby being lucky to only be 4 down was it.

At the other end, Kodjia has missed two golden chances and we've actually gone and scored 2. So fuck off Bruce.

Agreed, but we'll need to be much better than we were against Blackburn and Wednesday in the second halves, if we want to stay in the play offs and actually win them.  Still, I'll take a 3-1 win in these circumstances any day of the week.  With every other result going for us, it's an almost perfect weekend.

The way John McGinn shields the ball is a wonder to behold! You NEVER feel he’ll be pushed off it. The armadillo of footy, great player.

He is an energetic and agile Gareth Barry.

Beat Rotherham and I assume it will be the first time we've won 7 consecutive league games since 1990.

That's a very basic error for you to make Mr Shin.

It’s hard to keep the levels as we have enjoyed of late. In a funny way this dip in form and ability to keep winning will benefit the players. That we don’t have play Derby level stuff to win. We kept at it vs Blackburn and today got victories in very different ways. Character building.

Didn’t we do it last season at the turn of the year?

I think the midfield needs freshening up.

Adomah and Hourihane rose start Wednesday for me.

I’m so disappointed for the players because they didn’t deserve that. We missed big opportunities but the way we played.. sometimes this game is cruel and that’s football

We’re going home disappointed but sometimes you don’t get what you deserve. The way we went at them, I couldn’t ask for anything more. It wasn’t our day

Fletcher has been brilliant since I walked into the building but the penalty was maybe the turning point but even after that we kept going and I couldn’t ask for more

Bannan has a hamstring and who knows. It seems a constant pain for us all. Substitution after substitution. We have to get to the bottom of that

The second half in particular, it was an onslaught but we couldn’t get the goal. But it’s not about how you play, it’s about the result and those key moments

I can’t tell if that’s genuine or a piss take!

It must be genuine as it sounds so familiar to so many of his post match interviews in his time with us.

True but I was expecting something along the lines of “the penalty goes in and we go on to score more and win comfortably, their goals wre offside, Mings/Whelan should have been sent off, etc”.

7 consecutive league victories in 2017-18.

Marvellous stuff. What a great way to win a very tough fixture.

I'm very happy today.

Is this the best away day for the Villa lads since Wednesday away August 1991? Chico Hamilton III was probably there, Ads was only a precocious little bugger, anyone at both today's and BFR's debut? DorsetVillain no doubt, bless him. Enjoy lads.

I was there as a callow youth of 24. in fact it was last time I went to Hillsborough.
That day was good. Today was better !

[Deano's Mullet]

Dippy woman on sky sports news just now - JOSH McGinn got the equaliser! Josh?

[Drummond]

We'll be there, we'll be there, we'll be there or thereabouts, we'll be there or thereabouts.

[GXVilla]

We were really poor second half and didn’t look after the ball which is unlike us under Smith.
But 2 goals in injury time make for a fantastic away day!
Not as good as 75 but a great Villa away day!

Interesting on Twitter, Deano had them do a recovery session at BMH. Few snaps of them in the cryo chamber and the like.

There is nothing better than his arse-first approach. He's like an impatient porn star.
