Aston Villa v Millwall Post Match Thread

I haven't felt this great about the number 10 since watching Bo Derek as a 14 year old.

You used to watch Bo Derek when she was 14?  Honestly Risso, you have issues ;-)

Result more important than the performance today. Well done Villa!
Reading could ease our passage over next 2 games, playing the Baggies and Boro (not that we need to worry) 😉

It's not just the 10 in a row, we've won 5 in 16 days which is some going. All pressure games against sides that also had something to play for.

Interestingly, we have played better against the better sides too.  Rotherham and Millwall performances were professional but not at the heights of the Derby, Boro, Forest or Bristol City games.

1 point should makes us safe?

Now we have to be locked it for a Villa v Ball Bags semi by now

I never thought I'd be sitting here musing over ten straight wins, that's some achievement Villa you've done me proud...again.

I was about to say this too. It really bodes well for the playoffs. Teams that try to play and leave us more room, we can cut through.

They also have to play each other so one of the games is mute.

That table is a bit misleading as it shows games played for other clubs for the games kicking off at 3pm, so it's a copy of the BBC 'as it stands' table. However we could be guaranteed 5th by 5pm.

Thought it was solid, reminded me of the 1-0s we sometimes got under Saunders. To be fair, thought Millwall defended very well. Happy times.

[Malandro]

Good run, keep it up boys.

The most any 2 of the 3 below us can both get is 76 points (DC & BC playing each other), so with our way superior goal diff then you're right, one point pretty much guarantees it

Our game management since he joined with the possible exceptions of Leeds and Forest has been exemplary this season.  The last four minutes of injury time was played out by their corner flag.
