As long as he gets the service he will be happy and a happy Darren Bent can only be good for Villa.

Hrrm! Don't have AVTV. But will take your word for it!

We know he will score given the chance...Just hope the chance's come often enough.

Would love this guy to come good, he had some flashes of brilliance last year. Can't see who he will replace in the current line up though. Some sub appearances for Petrov when he tires might be a good idea.

Didn't look great from what I saw of the highlights (2 mins on SkySports), missed two sitter and didn't seem bothered when we scored.

Still hope he comes good, especially when you consider what Villa are paying him.

I really do want to see what we could do with a midfield of three, Makoun, Delph and either Petrov or Bannan.

Starting to step up to the plate. Great to see. Keep it up Fab!!

Agree! If he goes keep it and keeps progressing we will have a real player on our hands!

Me & my jumper are going nowhere!

I would play him tonight too, and make him captain. Momentum is key at this stage. It would also show him its his place to lose now.

Play him yes, but captain is a bit extreme.

Would be a shame to see him go, considering he hasn't really had a fair chance at Villa.

If he cant perform against Hereford, then he can't perform against anyone in the PL.

Think he's a good player on his day, better than any other options we have at left back at the moment (Clark is a centre back!)

Good to hear someone wants to stay at Villa!

Hopefully he will play in the cup giving us an idea about how well he will play under AMC.

Would be gutted if he left. On the few occasions he's played well, he's played very well.

Just hope Delph gets an injury-free run this season and starts to show us what he can do. He looked promising against Fulham.

I agree, can't wait to see him boss the midfield on Saturday!

Really hope he stays injury free for a good run at the moment. Have seen him play well a few times, but hasn't really ever held down a place in the Villa team.

Cue the relegation doom and gloom if it's true (I doubt it is though).

I liked his blog post on the OS today. Turns out he is a right nerd.

Agree!

I'm sure the large majority will clap, but obviously every football club has it's morons (including Villa).

A 2-0 or higher in favor of Villa and 99% will be cheering.

Did okay, he still looks a little suspect when he lunges in though.

Wasn't amazed by his debut. Sure he will get better though, so not worried.

Looking forward to seeing him at home.

Made some really good blocks to be fair to him. Not a bad start on his return to his first team.

Hopefully the thought of his England place will encourage him to 20+ goals.

Thought he was second MOTM after given. Would love to see Makoun in next to him.
