Aston Villa vs Brentford Post-Match Thread

[Taylor]

Got a bit nervy in the second half but I don’t think their goal should have stood.

If you had given me 7th and six points behind 2nd after the run we’ve just had I would have bitten your right arm off.

Tyrone is back!!

Mings and Digne were outstanding. Rogers is back on it. McGinn and Bailey were poor tbh, and a special mention to Barkley who was awful from the first touch to last. Hopefully kick on from that but some of this squad are regressing badly.

McGinn didn't do well with the ball but his pressing played a huge part in our first half performance.

Why? Didn't seem anything wrong with it

A big win given the context of the season. If we can follow it up with another one that would be really big. Great to see us back to scoring goals.

I had wanted Rogers dropped, cracking goal....

Funny that points wise we're nearer relegation than winning the league. All seems quite tight this season. Other than Liverpool at the top, there's a lot of teams moving around every week.

Us and Newcastle ranged 5/6 places tonight alone. Three wins on the bounce now and we'll be back in a strong position.

Mings was superb. Play him every week without compromise.

[Drummond]

That's more like it.

We ceded the initiative for a chunk of that second half but they had one shot on target in the game.

I think there was a team last season (Brighton maybe?) who won something like two games between October and March and still never dropped lower than eighth or ninth because nobody else below them was able to win more than two in a row.

Looked like a foul in the build up, but I could be wrong.

[KevinGage]

Thank fcuk for that.

[Accent Guy]

Great result and the table looks loads better.

One thing is worrying though, 1 shot on goal and 1 goal conceded. Does our keeper not makes saves anymore?

No point risking making that finger worse.

That'll do. Second half we looked a bit less confident, which is understandable, but still had more chances than they did. Hopefully that's the start of a run.
