I’d written a fair chunk of a post discussing how the team proved me wrong re; the Brighton game (fair play to them) and I was summing up how we’d performed over the season (suffice to say it was rubbish),…

Villa – Brighton; I can’t see us getting anything from this.
Or to be more accurate, I don’t believe we stand a cat in hell’s chance of getting a point from this game. I’m sorry, I really shouldn’t think like that, but it’s just how I see it. Brighton will be…

The great mole debate and the clearout continues at speed
Ok, so compare this; With this; Has Bruce been in a punch up with one of the players? Well, I have to say I very much doubt it. While he might not be as young or nimble as he was,…
-
Steve Bruce; Dinosaur or Pragmatist? Kids clear-out, Kodjia crocked and Xia to sell?
It’s been a busy couple of days news-wise, hasn’t it? I didn’t comment on the Blackburn game because I didn’t see it. I heard about fifteen minutes of the commentary though and it didn’t sound good. Phrases like “keep giving…

Blackburn – Villa: Should we win or lose?
Well, this one’s a bit of a dilemma isn’t it? No doubt you’ll know that if we lose tomorrow, we’ll be knocking a nail in Birmingham City’s coffin and helping them to a very possible relegation. But at the same…

Stupidly obvious conclusion; it’s the lack of goals.
Well, it might be obvious to most of you, but it didn’t really click with me until I’ve just looked at the full Championship table. Only three teams, in Rotherham, Wigan and Blues have scored less goals than us, with…

Villa 1 -0 blues: We need to talk about Gabby
Well, if you were writng a typical crappy American 70’s film script, where the subject always gets a happy ending, with smiling faces all round, you couldn’t have written it much differently for the blues game, could you? I predicted…
-
Villa -Blues; Their game of the season, even if they get relegated
Well, at least it’s how it seems to me. I don’t see it like that, but it is indeed nice to get one over the enemy, isn’t it? I believe we’ve only given the noses around 2,000 tickets and I…

What’s going on with Ross McCormack?
Whatever your view point about our striker, there’s no denying that he’s proved a total dud this season. Signed as a prolific Championship striker, who has scored a boatload of goals and has a fair few assists in his career,…

Fulham 3 -1 Villa; Brief thoughts, plus do we really want Blues relegated?
I’m going to slightly gloss over the actual result today, for two reasons. First, I didn’t get to see or even hear the game at all. And second, I have to confess that I’m honestly not that bothered. That sounds…
-
Villa 1 – 3 Reading; Hmm.
Well, that turned out to be a bit disappointing, didn’t it? It’s not particularly the scoreline that bothers me, but more the manner of the defeat. I listened to most of the second half and part of the first and…
-
Villa – Reading; How should Bruce play this?
We face Reading tomorrow then, a game which is quickly followed by another tough game against Fulham away on Monday. Utter madness and it’s a good job we aren’t fighting for a promotion place at this stage, as it would…
-
Sadly, I think we should look to move Gardner on.
I’ve hinted at this a couple of times in the last few weeks, but it seems the media have suddenly caught up and they’re all over it. It’s with much reluctance that I think Gary Garner has to go in…
-
Burton 1-1 Villa; Probably the right result, but season over
With a very small crowd, this was only ever going to be a pretty low-key game and to be honest, it sounded very drab, with very little to grab my attention. Villa scored via Jonathan Kodjia, who got his eighth…
-
Villa 1 -0 QPR; Great win, strange game
Whew, that was a roller-coaster. We started really brightly with Adomah apparently hitting the post (I somehow missed that bit) and Kodjia getting the goal, after a give and go from Bacuna with just five minutes on the clock. And…
-
Villa – QPR; A shoe in. Or maybe not
I told you we’d do Norwich, didn’t I? Ok, we didn’t score more than two goals as I predicted and the truth is we looked the poorer team. Yet we still won. This is what matters; points on the board.…
-
Villa – Norwich; Supremely confident (I think).
Hmm, perhaps the headline says it all really, but I am very confident about this game. We’re currently in fine fettle, having won 5 out of our last 6, with the only loss being against Huddersfield; a game that I…
-
Not much happening, bring on the footy.
I thought I’d better post something, if only to prove that I haven’t given up on the site or suffered some horrible fate. The trouble is there’s nothing happening is there? There’s plenty of guesswork and speculation, but that’s not…
-
Wigan – Villa; Another 3 points, surely (hopefully)?
I’ve got to be honest and say I’ve hardly read any Villa news at all this week. Too much to do and not enough hours etc, but I actually feel a bit guilty in not keeping up. It’s a funny…
-
Villa 2 – 0 Sheff Weds; A good result, simple.
So it turned out even better than I predicted and we won against a side chasing the play-offs even though Lansbury went down injured before the game even started and Baker had to be subbed after around 25 minutes. I…
