Thanks to whoever provided the small river.  The commentator was about as one-eyed as it gets, the officials were giving everything to Villa and Bristol were hard done by yadda yadda yadda.  Sad twat.  I thought we saw the game out quite professionally again.  Need to stop hitting shots straight at the keeper and we'll be a lot more comfortable.  I reckon a win at Bolton will see the play-offs pretty much secured. 
I know he works for Bristol but some of stuff that came out of his gob was just lies.

Huge win. Show the togetherness, steel and vision in this squad. Honestly so much stronger than the team that made it to playoffs last year IMO.

Still all to play for, mind.

Brilliant 8 in 8 first time for 44 years great stuff. Good to see Anwar was back to his best today, if he can continue this form going into the play offs, it will be a huge bonus for us.

The fact we’re disagreeing over MOTM shows what a great team performance that was.

Taylor excellent for me.  McGinn superb in the last 10 minutes, especially when he held it in the corner and wriggled away to get his shot away.

Today's performance showed how good Smith is as a coach.

Axel is not long back from injury and Jedi has only been a bit player this season, but they were quite pretty steady today.

Ditto in midfield with Whelan, Hourihane and SJM. They all seem to understand today's system/formation, even though they must have had different roles today compared to midweek given that it was a different set up as a result of Grealish's absence.

Despite Tyrone and Jack being absent we were able to hold Bristol to 1 shot on target over 98 minutest and put together another  winning performance.

Would that have been possible earlier in the season in similar circumstances under Smith's predecessor?

25 shots
11 on target

We dominated them and never looked liked dropping any points. Did Steer even have to make a save of note, unlike their keeper?

Brilliant 2nd half performance with really good performances all round.

Well done the lads!👌

Their keeper made some really good saves. On another day we could have been 3 up at HT.

I thought Davis (in particular) and Lansbury did well when they came on.

A great result especially after illnesses, suspensions and a hard fought performance in the week. It really is in our hands now, no one will want to play us and we can keep on improving. UTV.

I agree. Davis was like a battering ram. Very impressive and looked sharp.

8 out of 8 is clear evidence that we are simply far superior to anybody in this league and shouldn't be here.
However, in any one off game even the invincible unbeatable Villa can always finish up drawing a game and then being beaten on penalties.
For that reason we should really be excused the lottery of the play offs and be given automatic promotion and in effect re-election to the premier league with immediate effect.
