This season reminds me of 97-98. Going nowhere in the league and then under John Gregory i think we won nine out of the last eleven. Top win tonight, was at work so had to make do with 5 Live's updates and it sounds a crazy game but the spirit in this team is superb. Keep it up Villa.

If memory serves, we only lost to Bolton and Barnsley, who were both relegated. Weird.

Phenomenal from everyone in the second half but importantly we tried to play the ball around despite being a man down. I don't know how McGinn kept finding the energy.
Smith doesn't like to play Kodjia,  but he's a good footballer and playing him more centrally as we had to helped us.
Jedinak did well considering he hasn't played, but their constant Wimbledon-like tactics with long throws and long balls suited him.

Whilst Mings has been very good, in the last two games he could've cost use dearly. Just two minutes before the penalty, I said  he was a red card waiting to happen.

Anyway, the journey home is a lot more palatable than it looked like at half time!

Very reasonable fans at Millers:
"Doff your cap to Aston Villa, a superb club, with a real soul, magnificent supporters and a team timing their end of season run in to perfection.

Just how good were they in game management? They closed down the game completely in the last 15 minutes and we didn't get a sniff.

My only complaint is that we didn't bring Williams on earlier although.


We gave everything , they were just better."

And a pragmatic Manager:

Rotherham United manager Paul Warne told BBC Sheffield:

"There's no shame to us losing to the in-form side in the league. We were excellent first half. We've gone toe to toe with them.

"Their manager gave them a rallying call and they came out flying after the break. We had a few near misses but we just didn't get to the heights we did in the first half.

"Them going down to 10 men didn't actually help us. And their lad was unlucky to go off for handball. That was a bit extreme for me."

[Legion]

Fair play to him.

You don’t see many comments like that.

Fair dos, not often you hear an interview that magnanimous from a losing manager. Compare with PH’s self aggrandising waffle on Saturday.
