Aston Villa 2 Brighton 0 post match thread

I didn’t think Watkins did at all well until Ings went down off.

Watkins was poor until the changes - turned it round when he went up top.

[ROBBO]

Nakamba gave us the bite in midfield,as most have said Watkins has to play central, looks a different player. Groaned when Ash Young came on but he gave us that little bit of quality and Bailey will become the new pin up boy. Confidence is everything and after the first they all grew a few inches.

Mr. Gerrard needs to make the decision about Ings and Watkins that Smith wouldn't. It's one or the other not both. I'm in the Watkins camp.

[LukeJames]

Owners happy then

Who's Purslow flipping off?

Watkins all day long.

Ings not being a Gerrard signing makes it an easier decision to make.

Much improved.  I like the aggresion, intensity and one touch football we are trying to play. Never really had that under smith.

Thought mcginn was great. Konsa and emi great.

My mot was ash youbg. He was brilliant

No , we were so passive when we hammered Liverpool.

We weren't aggressive in that game at all. Just sheer brilliant.

Tuesday at BMH:

One of you starts v Palace, the other is on the bench.

What you do in the training decides.

My little girl's first game, she absolutely loved the last 15mins or so. Also my first game in ages, forgot how much I love Villa Park, and my dad's first for a long while.

Think there's plenty of reasons for optimism. Buendia was underwhelming for me. Watkins ace, particularly as a lone striker. Bailey is a ridiculous player, I love him. SJM MOTM.

Nearly lost my voice in the last ten minutes, huge result from a so so performance. The substitutions worked well, Matty Cash was my man of the match but the defence looked solid. Emi was poor.
I like the way Graham Potters team play, it looked like they had a man spare on the wings a lot of the time but didn't really threaten us to much.

That result will give much needed confidencve to the players.

[Moonraker]

That was a good result against a good footballing side. Emi made 2 fabulous saves first half and their keeper kept them in the game with a great save from Ty. Can enjoy the rest of the weekend now.

I know I'm like a broken record, but Ings wasn't a Smith signing either.

Agree, a complete re writing of history

No long throws, not too many long hoofs forward, subs that changed the game, 2 good goals and Neil Diamond bringing the house down.
Very satisfactory and a smile on our faces for a change.
Long may it continue.
