John Gregory might beg to differ.
I wouldn't say we scraped a win, when we bad a perfectly good goal disallowed and they scored from a ludicrous free kick. I still think they're not a bad side, though. Webster is about the best defender I've seen at Villa Park this season. It's a struggle to find three rubbish teams to finish below us, to be honest.Maybe we were hasty in laughing when Blose went down.

We've got to get 6 from 6 in the next two or I think we might as well start bracing for the Championship. Trouble is, Watford have vastly improved under Pearson and Brighton look fairly safe and pretty well drilled. We looked like we'd twigged a system and finally knew how to organise ourselves, but that's all gone to fuckery of the City game. You can excuse losing to them given our injuries, but in that manner? It was utterly clueless. It just felt like we'd dick drilled ourselves firmly back into square one.
I must admit I thought as we all did after missing out on another striker in the summer we’d have already had a number of players lined up ready for contact as soon as January started, it does seem we hadn’t. It seemed a huge priority before Wes was injured even if he was playing very well and scoring, now it’s crucial. That lack of forward planning seems a bit naive from the management. I did think we’d have been far more progressive and ruthless now we have this new set up in place.
