Aston Villa 2 Brighton 0 post match thread

[Steve67]

What a great last 15 minutes!!  Up and running.

[SoccerHQ]

O.k in first half, thought we were poor in second. Then came alive after Ollie's nice solo goal.

Huge 3 points. 3 points off Spurs, 4 off Man. United. We'd have all taken that in August at this stage of the season wouldn't we.....

Defended well 
McGinn excellent.
Buendina poor, needs a break

We’re we great? No. We’re we better than we have been ? Hell yes.

Class finishes from Ollie and Tyrone !!

[DrGonzo]

That second was all about Tyrone.  Determination in the challenge in the line, then a cracking finish with his weaker foot.  I'm happy.  So happy.

[KevinGage]

Thank McGrath for that.

Ollie has me worried, big drop off compared to last season. But that's hopefully him up and running now.

If it needs to be just him up top and Ings coming off the bench as required, so be it.

[villadelph]

We fought, I’m happy.

UTV - enjoy the weekend everyone!

Difficult team to beat, in form, was always going to be hard, on the other hand Villa needed this to find some form, great start for Stevie G, I think its fair to say the board must not shy away from this, SG must have a sizeable fund in the next transfer window, we can still get back to achieving what the season's targets was.

Well done Villa.

[N'ZMAV]

win, Watkins goal, clean sheet, lots of effort and fight - just what the doctor ordered.

[Villan82]

Great to get Gerrard off to a winning start. Clean sheet and two late goals? Couldn't ask for more.

[Keeno]

The defensive shape was so positive to see after what we've witnessed so far this season.

That was really the only thing you could expect to see from Gerrard this early into his tenure, and we did that.

Brighton, despite a lot of possession, didn't really create anything that clear-cut.

Excellent result to bring the confidence back, and keeps us ticking over while Gerrard gets more time with the players. Buzzing.

[Steve67]

Two terrific goals.  Brighton had lots of the ball but did very little with it.  Bailey and Young gave us a bit of spark but the goal from Watkins was fantastic. 

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I'd almost forgotten what a win feels like. It's bloody brilliant!

[SamTheMouse]

All very satisfactory. We looked more organised.

Watkins needs to play centrally. Ings needs to be benched.

[Scovilla]

Thank you Villa. A much needed win considering other results.
A relaxed evening at Last.

[Smirker]

Was OK. Much more solid. Long way to go though.

7/10 for me.
