Aston Villa v Bristol City post-match thread

[Axl Rose]

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

He barged their defender about 5 feet from where he started out in the last 5 minutes!

Ha! Yes, just brilliant to see. He's a talent our Keinan.

Deano just confirmed Kodjia got a whack in the ribs in training yesterday apparently.  Having a scan.

That line up would have had people tearing their hair out earlier in the season.

Shows how far we have progressed.

Was it a penalty? Bristol fans all going crazy about the ref today.

I don’t think so but hey ho.

[Keeno]

Superb win.

When was the last time you enjoyed watching/liked a Villa side this much?

Probably 08/09 Acorns-era Pubehead for me.

When Sir Ron ws in charge....I'm getting the same feeling I had all those years ago.

We must have lost the most players to training injuries in the history of the sport. It's absurd!

87-88

Let’s not underestimate that performance. We fucking battered them. Their keeper has made god knows how many saves, including some top class ones. Loads of Shots on target and shots wide, plus alberts missed open goal. In the meantime, steer could had had a picnic.
Yes, Brizzle are a good team, and knocked the ball around well, but we dealt with everything.
Not one player let us down today.
The full backs were excellent. Axel and Jedi were superb, especially when you consider how little football they have played recently.
Whelan was majestic, El Ghazi had his best game since joining.
Tammy worked his bollocks off.

And McGinn is just a footballing god. His game management, intelligence and energy are just top,top,top class.

Well done me babbies.

Only three league goals off a tally of 80. When did we last net 80 in the league?

Any interview with the boss about Kodjia?

Yes he said he had a rib injury, had an injection yesterday but too sore today.

Cant hear a word, must be going deaf.

Sky highlights

Did Hourihane have a free role today in Jack's absence ? Keeper made two outrageous saves from him, missed a sitter, fouled for penalty and scored the winner (hardest chance of the lost). Hard to leave him out, serious goal threat at this level.

Davis looks a real handful.

When I heard the line-up - no Jack, no Mings (obvs) but no Hause/Elphick/Chester either, so Jedi at CB - I said I'd be happy with a point. In the end we could and should have won by 4 or 5 but a combination of profligate finishing and their goalie having a stormer meant that them getting one back made the last 10 minutes a bit twitchy. To a man they put a hell of a shift in and no surprise some were dead on their feet at the end. Great game, great atmosphere, three more points. Onwards and upwards.

Funniest thing of the afternoon - some guy actually landed on the 'Prize Where it Lies' half time fun - sadly he landed on SIS so won a year's worth of protein.
