Villa having a worse day than the cat - or the vet...

[Gakoe]

Great turn around me babbers! Beautiful!

Good to hear Korey on the radio too.

[Northern Red]

Great stuff!

[1960maaan]

No free bar, and I've missed a cracker but chuffed at those 3 points.

Well done City.

[redcityman]

Amazing result, 5th going into the international break, well done lads.

[Cider_boy]

We were so outplayed in the first half, I had been about to bet on us to win when we were 1-0 down, and thought better of it. Damn

[Leveller]

Yet we ARE currently looking up at Barnsley! Fair play to them.

Cracking result. Villa are doomed

 

Yet people said their prem quality was showing through, and it was men against boys.

[cityexile]

Great result. With the break coming up, all the Kodjia stuff, will give us a real lift. Whoever we were playing, would not want to have lost three is a row.

Second come back win at home, played the three relegated team, and drawn 3-3 overall, and got 3 points. Got to be delighted with that.

Perhaps little Lees influence paying off there as well.

Hoping we can hold on until half time. 

Expecting a very different performance second half. 

Good call

[downendcity]

At half time decided to get a few jobs done around the house  to lift the depression that was settling over Chez Downend and only just come back online  to see how things have gone.

Have to say LJ must be bl00dy inspiring in the dressing room at half time. He has an inate ability to make changes that change the game.

P.S. How good a goalscorer is Abraham?

P.P.S Kodjia - who?

[robinreliant]

Bring on the highlights. Can't wait.

That is not good to hear. I so hope we have not destroyed our fighting spirit. It's ok to be worse than a team, but to hear we have no drive and passion is very worrying. These big games should have everyone up for it. 

Completely different half obviously. Pushed Bobby forward and Joe. Looked 4141 and we were a force. LJ always does good by us. First half was weird. Looked slow and in awe a bit. Second half it was the type of football that makes me optimistic we will be top 8. I don't like questioning the heart of the boys but 50/50 balls they'd look at each other and no one reacted. Second half we were everywhere before they could process it. Bad first half and learning experience. Lovely day 

[Dan Robin]

Brilliant win, especially considering the team's reaction after a complicated first half. 

Against Norwich e Newcastle we didn't take points despite positive performances...but today we got a reward.

Agree. Big improvement needed in the second half.

You see. I could be a manager!!

What an amazing turn around. Sounds like we got into them, put them under pressure, and took the game to them. That is what we learnt last year, you have to play for 90 minutes. As you say good learning. Very sad about Kodja, but it seems it might not be Derby but a Prem side. Just pray we get two strikers in, one to develop, but one who can also contribute immediately. I suspect we need to spend a big fee 

I do too. 5m on one and 2m on another I reckon. That's huge money for us but we've got it and I know they'll have it lined up. I'd expect something announced within 24 hours of Kodjia leaving. Fantastic player but can't argue with the profit for a one year player.
