I knew we'd be getting a draw at best within 5 minutes of kick off and when they scored I couldn't see us coming back. Everything just felt wrong about that game. The atmosphere was flat and the players looked drained. It's easy to say in hindsight but changes should have been made. Jedinak and...

No pissing about with 4-4-2 again. We need to keep the system that's been working for us.

I 100% believe that if Jack and Kodjia has been fit at the start of the season we'd be top of the league.

Can't think of many better ways to spend a Saturday afternoon than that!! Dominated up to when we scored then let them back in. After they equalised then spent the next 25 minutes or so running us ragged I couldn't see us getting anything. We did well to get back into it and boss the last 10...

Way before my time but my dad was in his late teens when we were in the 3rd division. Whenever us being in the 3rd tier is mentioned by anyone he will say "Andy Lochhead in the air" and mime heading a ball.

He's ok to bring on for 20 minutes to see out a game we're winning narrowly but that's about it. A decade of running around like a maniac in stokes midfield has drained him and every time I've seen him start he looks knackered after half an hour or so. Hard worker but he doesn't have the...

Huge game and one we have to win. We definitely need to go back to the 4-1-4-1 we were playing during our winning streak and like most on here I reckon it must be Bjanarsson in for Jedinak and Grabban in for Hogan. Totally agree with claret & blue blood that we have to stop Neves, he dictates...

He's highly rated by spurs but apparently Pochettino thinks his best position is as a box to box player whereas the lad himself thinks it's playing off the striker where we're playing him. Personally I'd agree with Pochettino from what I've seen. I think he's a good player and if he keeps his...

Monk is a complete charlatan trading off one good season for Swansea when they still had the squad and playing style set up by much better managers. Ask any Swansea fan and they'll tell you that many of the current problems began with Monk changing the style of play from what had served them so...

I'd really hoped that when we sacked Lambert it was the last time I'd ever have to hear him talk shite about Villa but apparently he's been spinning some bullshit about us letting Albrighton go because we couldn't afford to offer him a new deal. It definitely wasn't because Lambert didn't rate...

Personally I want O'Hare in because we need someone who is going to try to create something. Jack is out, Albert is out, Green is out and Snoddy has been carrying and injury as well. Who else is there? Would you prefer Onomha? We need some spark in there and Whelan, Jedinak or Bjanarsson aren't...

The most damming thing about the hiring of McLeish is that it totally exposed just how ignorant the people running the club were about football. First of all the fact that we paid money to our biggest rivals to take their manager off them when he was never going to be accepted by a large...

I don't feel sorry for McLeish at all. He was probably paid handsomely for his miserable failure with us. Every game under him we started with the intention of getting a 0-0. His signings were all awful, n'zogbia probably one of the worst in the club's history and he completely destroyed Marc...

I'd not heard of Lucas Joao before this evening but he's clearly a top bloke and a great player. Sheffield Wednesday 2 Derby 0.

What a beautiful way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Every player in claret and blue worked their socks off and showed the extra bit of quality needed to win these games. I'd wanted Jedinak in and he proved me right as he strode around the midfield like a titan winning everything that came near...

Watching the championship goals and saw that Adama scored 2 yesterday, second was a beauty. I thought he'd be bombed straight out under Pulis but maybe he's the one who can turn him into a real player instead of a sprinter with a few tricks.

Properly feeling the nerves now. Simple fact is though that if the villa side who turned up against Bristol walk out onto the pitch today we win but if it's the side that strolled through the Burton game then we're in for a horrible day. The last 4 games vs blues we've come out and been out...

Agree with every word of that. Jedinak must start. Green and Grabban on the bench with gabby in the stands.

Southgate is known to be a big fan of his and God knows that England midfield could do with something a little bit different. Most English midfielders are either bigger, stronger versions of Westwood or pure pacey wingers. Not many have the skills Jack has, which is one of the reasons he divides...

Their claim certainly was not pen. If he hadn't dived outrageously he would have actually been clipped by Bjanarsson so he did himself in.
