I’d say a point isn’t a bad result.
They are currently one of the form sides although I’m not sure that it will last.

I assume you're referring to Watford here and not Brighton?

A point won't be the end of the world but we have to start digging wins out from somewhere.  Games at Villa Park are the obvious ones and we only have 7 or 8 left.   For me, Watford at home is a game we should target all 3 points.

I was always under the impression that drug dogs were trained to sit down if drugs are detected. Not jump at the person.

Watching our goal back again, special mention to the run that Vassilev makes. Brighton's central defender takes a couple of strides towards him, and that opens up just enough room for Luiz's pass to reach Grealish.
That's the difference having a striker on the pitch makes.

I've seen on social media that there were some Bruges fans in the home end and some Villa fans were giving them stick and then realised they were there supporting us as they were singing about Wes, anyone there see this?

Correct. I got done at a festival in c.2004 and the dog sat down by me and wagged his tail! I saw the same thing happen at VP about 2 or 3 games ago. The dog was on Witton Lane by the away turnstiles but stopped and sat down next to 2 Villa fans who were just strolling past and hadn’t noticed the dog until then.

The number of dogs yesterday seemed a bit OTT though.

I think it just depends on the dog and handler, they can indicate a "find" in whatever way they are trained too. These are called passive search dogs, trained to work as the "target" walks past. There are also active search dogs, that would be sent into a cell, say, to actively search the cell. They can be trained for all sorts of things drugs, explosives, fire starting chemicals (to detect arson), in the prisons they are trained on mobile phones, SIM cards etc. They are clever as hell.

 and what's the point of a pack of pyro dogs that cannot sniff out pyro?


They were sniffing for drugs I was told - shortly after one of them started jumping up and sniffing me and I was taken aside to a special area for a thorough searching by 2 security blokes. Nothing found, of course, but not the sort of thing you expect to happen to you in front of your 13 year old son. They weren't coppers, I asked if they were authorised to be so thorough ( they were leafing through my wallet, opening up receipts etc) but the angrier I got, the more they seemed to enjoy doing it.

Anyway, I said before the game that I'd take a point

Good job they never searched your lad.

After the game I noticed some comments directed at the seats to the front of the stand on the right of the away end. Their flag was upside down and I couldn’t read it but apparently they were Bruges fans. There seemed to be 6-10 of them. I thought they were taunting us but didn’t really pay much attention and then somebody mentioned Wesley.

Until your post I had completely forgotten it.

Nakamba and Engels are both ex Bruges players too.

Given how much stick our ex-Bruges players have had on here, they probably were taunting!
