Burton 0 – 4 Villa; It should have been six! We’ll walk this league, or maybe not

I have to walk the dog, so you’ll have to wait for my thoughts.
It doesn’t take much working out that I’m happy though.

    Very encouraging. Starting to click?

    I fear staying anything that might jinx this good run of results, but I will say it does appear our consistent starting 11 is finally starting to pay off. Regardless of Bruce, the squad is finally grinding results and bossing teams on their day… and that is something we can all get behind.

    Very encouraging, but the ultimate goal of the season is automatic promotion. Keep winning and get into the top 2 and then the real praise can start.
    Until then, we need to keep grinding out results to make up for the extremely slow start to the season.

    We’re building good momentum – just hope that the international break doesn’t make it all evaporate again before the Wolves and Blues games in October!

    If we get promoted this season, we’ll be straight back down the next. I reckon we’d benefit from another year in the Championship.

      You mean when the parachute payments stop and we have to sell off some assets to not get screwed by FFP? Yeah, that’s not a good idea at all.

      We won’t benefit at all, scouts from Arsenal, Man Utd and Everton were all watching Davis last night and Kodjia would leave as well. We have to get promoted this season to build

        I wouldn’t take that seriously. When was the last time the Mirror was ever actually right? But Kodjia would definitely leave. He’d have at least 12 suits in the Premier League wanting him if we don’t go up (and even if we do).

          Burton had players from all 3 of those teams on loan, so they’re more likely there to see the progress of them.

    Delighted! The thumping we have been overdue to give somebody has happened. Excellent running off the ball and passing in the clip posted. I hope they can keep it up.

    Played really well today. I would say best performance under Bruce. Really liking Davis up front, his all around play is so good for a big player, and the fact we have Hogan on the bench means we actually have strength in depth for once.

    Shame he didnt bring on O’Hare at the end, would love to see him get some minutes. I just dont see what Bjarnasson brings us. But who cares, that was a great display. Finally the Championship will take notice. Just need to bang 5 past Bolton this weekend!

    Second and third goal was just atrocious keeping on their goal keepers part. You can easily see why they have the 2nd worst defense in the league. As I said we’d smash them, and will also smash Bolton.

    At least it’s allowing us to keep the confidence going as 4 tough games ahead after Bolton. Wolves away, Fulham at home, Birmingham away and Preston away. Those are the games we really need to put performances in. Hope to see the likes of O’Hare, Doyle and Clark in the team at least to face Bolton. Give Whelan a rest, and even Taylor for the up coming games. Bolton are so bad I definitely hope we rest one of the few starters we have where depth is a big problem, so defensive mid and left back/center back.
